Introduction to sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is easily caused by diet, mood or skin care products, resulting in dry skin surface, redness, spots, eye swelling, peeling or acne.
The most direct definition of sensitive skin is "the skin that is easy to be irritated and causes some degree of discomfort". The main key is that it is easy to be irritated. This kind of skin is generally white, and the pores are also small. In other words, it is a very good skin in vision. Isn't white, fine and tender exactly the goal of skin maintenance? Therefore, the beauty industry has been popular in the field of fruit acid skin exchange and exfoliation, which aims to remove the cuticle layer Become a little thinner, a little thinner of course, the touch is more delicate, but the relative skin resistance to the outside world is also naturally reduced. Usually, when a guest comes to a beauty salon, whether it's sensitive skin or not, an experienced beautician can have a look at it. And most of the guests with more vulnerable skin will tell the beautician: "my skin is more vulnerable and sensitive". This type of guest has a high proportion in the current beauty salon care group.
Self test of sensitive constitution
1. It is a sensitive constitution diagnosed by a doctor or a family history of allergy
2. If acid maintenance products are used, there will be tingling
3. If you drink or stay indoors for a long time, your skin will turn red and hot
4. It will itch in winter. The skin is dry outside and inside. The skin with large oil output looks dull
5. The skin is very thin. It turns red when exposed to the sun. When it doesn't turn red, there are faint blue blood vessels
If you meet more than 3 of the above 5 points, unfortunately, you are basically sensitive. Your skin is fragile and resistant, and your water 'evaporates' through your skin faster than the average person.
Temporary sensitive self-test

After becoming sensitive skin, the skin will become very fragile. Slight changes in the outside world may cause skin allergy. Therefore, care must be taken carefully in the ordinary maintenance.
How to care for sensitive skin?
1. Keep skin clean. It's windy and sandy in spring. The dust mixed with the sebum with strong secretion is easy to cause rough skin. Therefore, it's necessary to keep the skin clean at all times. You can use mild facial cleanser and toner to help sterilize, clean and soften the skin.
2. Don't change the traditional cosmetics brand at will, because the skin needs to adapt to the new climate, and it is in a weak resistance and adaptability to the external environment. If you change the brand at will, it is easy to have allergies.
3. Pay attention to the moisturizing of the skin at any time to enhance the resistance of the skin. Fresh and hydrophilic skin care products can be selected. The original skin care products with more oil in winter should be used as little as possible.
4. Pay attention to the impact of sand on the skin. When people with sensitive skin go out at ordinary times, they should pay special attention to cover with gauze, mask, etc. to avoid wind blowing.
5. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables on the diet, and less foods with strong stimulation and easy to cause allergic reactions, such as seafood, bamboo shoots, etc.
6. Massage face and body with almond oil every day Grease helps to lock in moisture in the pores while protecting them from contamination. Grape seed oil, avocado oil or castor oil can also improve skin.
Five points of sensitive skin care
First, sensitive skin should not be exfoliated. This is because, cutin thin and cutin damage is the main reason for sensitivity, so the first principle of maintenance is to maintain cutin from damage. Do not over clean, do not choose soap lotion. For frosting cream, to dead skin cream and other products should be far away.
Second, the daily protection of sensitive skin should be strengthened. Due to the thin epidermis of sensitive skin, lack of UV protection ability, and easy aging, it is necessary to pay attention to the use of sunscreen products. The ingredients of sunscreen products are also one of the factors that can easily stimulate the skin, so it is better not to directly apply on the skin, but to apply sunscreen products after basic maintenance products.
Third, the thin cuticle of sensitive skin often can't keep enough water. No matter in the air-conditioned room in summer or in the dry climate in winter, people with this kind of skin will feel the water shortage and dryness of skin more acutely than ordinary people, so it's very important to strengthen the moisturizing in daily maintenance. Besides moisturizing lotion and skin care products, moisturizing facial mask should also be made regularly. When the seasons change, we also need to pay attention to the replacement of unsuitable basic maintenance products.
Fourth, sensitive skin should not be over nourished. This is because the modern cosmetics and maintenance products emphasize the high efficiency, so the active ingredients must be able to penetrate the skin and act on the deep skin to produce high effect. For sensitive skin, high concentration and good effect are high risk and high sensitivity. Therefore, when people use skin care products (especially high concentration activator such as essence fluid), they should be diluted by half before they are used properly. In addition, sensitive skin is not suitable for products with too strong curative effect. The non curative product that does not burden the skin is the best way to restore the health of the skin.
Finally, we should try to reduce the stimulation to sensitive skin. When the skin is dry, desquamated or red, the red light is on. To recover the skin as soon as possible, the best way is to reduce the stimulation, avoid excessive wind and sun exposure, do not eat stimulating food, and then use low sensitivity products. After reducing the damage, the skin may recover itself.
Nursing methods of sensitive skin
1. Wash face with cold water to increase skin resistance. If the skin is not suitable, you can first use warm water (20 ℃ - 30 ℃), and then gradually reduce the water temperature, using natural materials made of facial cleanser or small irritant soap. It is best to use anti allergy cleanser.
2. skin care products made from natural plants, such as skin care products or facial mask made from vegetables and fruits. It is not appropriate to use nutritious skin care products and facial mask containing medicine or animal protein, because skin is prone to allergy to it.
3. When using a new skin care product, first apply a little on the inner side of the forearm or behind the ear. After 48 hours of observation, if there is swelling, blisters, itching, etc. in the local area, it means that the skin is allergic to the skin care product, and it can never be used. On the contrary, no reaction can be used locally. It's better not to make up more and change cosmetics easily at ordinary times.
4. Protect the skin sensitive to cold wind and ultraviolet rays when going out. For example, wear a cold hat and mask in winter to prevent cold wind. In summer, you should hold an umbrella or wear a sunshade hat, and apply sunscreen on your face to prevent sun exposure.
5. Use fruit juice or vegetable juice for skin care at night. It can not only nourish skin, but also prevent skin allergy.
6. Regular skin care in beauty salon can improve skin condition and increase skin anti sensitivity.

1. Clean the face with anti sensitive cleanser.
2. no ion spray. Spray can only be used for long distance and short time spray.
3. use the iontophoresis machine to import sensitive essence.
4. make anti sensitive mask (for cold film).
5. Pat shrink water.
