Skin prone to allergies often reacts to the arrival of spring with redness, flaking, and dryness. During this time, it requires special, more delicate care. Below, we’ll explain how to improve your skin condition during allergy season and which products can help.
First, it’s essential to note that sensitivity is not a skin type but rather a condition characterized by redness, burning, dryness, and itching.
It can be chronic, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, or rosacea, or temporary, triggered by external factors like cold weather, illness, stress, or the use of unsuitable skincare products.
When your skin becomes overly reactive to any external irritants, it often signals a compromised skin barrier. Once the bonds between skin cells weaken, the skin becomes more permeable to allergens.
So, the number one goal is to restore and protect the skin barrier. This includes using the right skincare products and minimizing aggressive effects on the skin.
Here are some simple rules:
- Wash your face with warm, not hot water.
- Avoid scrubs, loofahs, and cleansing brushes.
- Skip acids and retinol for the time being.
- Use hypoallergenic, fragrance-free products with gentle formulas.
- Keep your skincare routine minimal and simple.
