Understanding sensitive skin: care and soothing

Dermatology specialists often use Pons-Geir's recommendations for the care of sensitive skin:

• Reducing the number of cosmetics and make-up. Fewer products reduce the risk of irritation.
• Use fragrance-free products. Fragrances are common irritants.
• Avoiding cleansing soaps. Soaps can strip the skin of its natural oils, increasing dryness and sensitivity.
• Use of thermal water. It helps to soothe the skin and provides hydration.
• Use disposable paper towels. This prevents contact with possible irritants in cloth towels.
• Creams with a light texture. Heavy creams can clog pores and cause allergic reactions.
• Frequent moisturizing:.Applying the cream several times a day in air-conditioned rooms or in extreme weather conditions maintains the level of hydration.
