Skincare Routine for Sensitive/Dehydrated Skin

Characteristics of sensitive/dehydrated skin:

Thin epidermis

Easily irritated

Broken capillaries 

Small pores

Sunburns easily 

Red/Patchy 

Overheats, prickly feeling

Premature wrinkles

Here is a typical routine for sensitive/dry skin however you can have sensitive/oily skin which would require a few different products if you would like me to do a skincare routine for this just ask but today I will be recommending products for sensitive/dry skin.

Cream cleanser, La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo cleanser is brilliant for your skin type it's contains glycerine which will help hold moisture in your skin.

Alcohol free toner, again La Roche Posay Physiological Soothing Toner will help calm and soothe your skin.

Moisturiser such as Toleriane Fluid by La Roche Posay.

Eye Cream, Avène Soothing Eye Contour Cream.

The following are some extra steps that you can do to really help your skin:

A hydrating mask can be used once a week the Hydraphase Intense Masque by La Roche Posay is brilliant for holding in moisture and relieving sensitive skin.

Calming face mask every second week, I like Yes to Cucumber Calming Face Mask.

Throughout the day if you feel your skin getting tight or prickly carry La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water in your handbag and mist on your face to help relieve that feeling. 

These are products that I have personally used for sensitive skin and found really good if you don't want to use these products look out for products with Aloe Vera, Cucumber, Lavender or Chamomile as these will all help calm and relieve the skin. 

If you have very sensitive skin you may not be able to wear foundation without having a reaction however most good skincare ranges now have a foundation or BB cream that is specifically designed for intolerant skin.

If you want a bit of coverage during the day Hydreane BB Cream by La Roche Posay is a great choice as it provides coverage, it soothes and protects your skin throughout the day and has an SPF 20. If you want something with a bit more coverage Toleriane Teint Fluid Foundation is brilliant and is non comedogenic with SPF 25.
