sensitive skin - 60% of WOMEN and 30% of MEN have it!

It is estimated that currently 60% of women and 30% of men in the world have sensitive and vascular skin! This is a really high result and it is a bit hard to believe, but when you delve into the causes, it does not seem so strange to us anymore.

HOW TO FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN?

If your skin has low tolerance for environmental factors such as temperature differences, air pollution or many cosmetics. People with sensitive skin have a very big problem with choosing the right cosmetics. The skin is dry, reacts with itching/burning, stings and even hurts. You can feel tightness and tingling, frequent irritations and even peeling! Additionally, it is prone to allergies and overreacts to stress and food. Until recently, there were theories that people with dry skin and people with atopic dermatitis are prone to hypersensitivity. This is related to damage to the epidermal barrier. However, these theories have recently turned out not to be entirely accurate. It has been studied that 80% of people with vascular skin describe their skin as sensitive. And this is often the cause of this type of skin - excessive reaction of blood vessels and sudden skin redness.

WHY DOES THIS PROBLEM AFFECT MOST WOMEN?

Women have thinner and more delicate skin. Additionally, they are influenced by female hormones, the excess of which relaxes the walls of blood vessels, which further weakens them. The menopause, taking hormonal contraception or constant high blood pressure are also common causes of the occurrence of "spider veins", i.e. vascular changes. Some people also have genetic predispositions. Our skin can also be harmed by improperly performed cosmetic treatments and irritating effects of atmospheric factors, such as wind, low temperatures, sun. Temperature changes cause the blood vessels to "exercise" all the time - they expand and contract rapidly, which causes them to expand and form "spider veins". Such skin also does not like strong, scorching sun, solarium, sauna and hot baths. Alcohol, hot drinks, hot spices can also cause flushing on the face. However, nothing happens if this condition disappears after a while. The problem occurs when such a reaction persists.

WHAT MISTAKES DO WE MAKE?

Often our skin becomes sensitive due to improper care, including using cosmetics for oily skin on the whole face in combination skin, using too many cosmetics for problematic skin with seborrhea and acne. People with vascular skin and rosacea often use cosmetics based on ethyl alcohol. These are just some of the care mistakes, and we make a lot of them.

HOW TO DEAL WITH SUCH SKIN?

Avoid cosmetics that are strong, heavily perfumed and have a high content of potentially irritating substances. Stop using traditional bar soaps, which damage the barrier function of the epidermis. Avoid products that excessively remove sebum and tighten. Peel-off cosmetics and coarse-grained scrubs are also not recommended, as they stimulate blood circulation and can increase redness.

WHAT TO USE FOR SENSITIVE AND CAPILLARY SKIN?

You should choose natural cosmetics that are dedicated to this type of skin. They will not only alleviate the symptoms, but also strengthen the skin so that it does not show the symptoms of this type of skin. Strengthening the walls of blood vessels, improving blood circulation, soothing irritations - these are the effects that the selected products should have. The most important thing is to choose natural cosmetics appropriately, not by accident but with the greatest care. You will significantly improve the condition of your skin and prevent deepening changes.
