Dealing with dry and sensitive skin can be challenging, especially when certain skincare ingredients can make things worse. If your skin often feels tight, itchy, or irritated, it’s essential to know what to avoid to keep your skin healthy and calm.
Hello everyone ! Welcome to SasVibe.
❌ 1. Alcohol-Based Ingredients
Alcohol can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it even drier and more irritated. Look out for ingredients like ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, or methanol in toners and cleansers.
❌ 2. Fragrances
Artificial fragrances can trigger allergies or irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Always opt for fragrance-free products to avoid unnecessary reactions.
❌ 3. Sulfates
Found in many cleansers and shampoos, sulfates (like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) can be too harsh, removing essential moisture from the skin barrier.
❌ 4. Retinoids
While great for anti-aging, retinoids can be too strong for sensitive skin, causing dryness, redness, and peeling. If you must use them, start with very low concentrations and consult a dermatologist.
❌ 5. Exfoliating Acids
Ingredients like glycolic acid and salicylic acid can over-exfoliate dry, sensitive skin. If needed, go for milder exfoliants like lactic acid.
🔒 Final Thoughts
For those with dry and sensitive skin, using gentle, hydrating, and fragrance-free products is key. Always read ingredient labels and do a patch test before trying new products.
