Summer's in full swing!
We all love those sun-kissed days, beach escapades, and endless adventures. But if you've got sensitive skin, you know it can be a bit of a buzzkill. Don't worry, we've got your back (and your skin) covered. In this ultimate guide, tackle how to manage sensitive skin during the summer!
Quick Tips for Summer Sensitive Skin Care:
- Cotton - Your Summer BFF: Rock loose, breathable 100% cotton clothing, towels and blankets. It helps control sweat and keeps you cool and comfy. Better yet - use Turkish cotton towels and blankets because their softer, longer fibers are even more gentle on your sensitive skin.
-
Short and Sweet Showers: Lukewarm water, 5-10 minutes tops. Hot water dries out your skin and can exacerbate flare ups, and we're all about that summer glow!
-
Sensitive Cleansers: Use cleansers made for sensitive skin. Skip the dramatic soap-ups and just focus on areas that need attention.
-
Moisture Magic: Pat yourself dry and lock in moisture with fragrance-free creams and ointments (that are better than lotions). Your skin will thank you for the hydration.
-
Laundry Love: Choose fragrance-free, dye-free laundry detergent, because this detergent can leach into your skin when you're sweating. No irritants, just fresh clothes!
-
Sunscreen Fun: Use physical/mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. They're cool on the skin and won't irritate your sensitive side as much as chemical sunscreens
That's it! Now it's time to rock your summer with confidence and keep your sensitive skin happy and healthy.
