Sensitive Skin? Here's How To Care For It Well

Caring for sensitive skin is like raising a toddler. It's fussy, unpredictable and on some rare days, a ray of sunshine. Since no one likes to see a surprise patch of angry red bumps staring back at them in the mirror, sensitive skin needs to be treated right from the get-go. To tick that off your checklist, here's how you can give your sensitive skin the utmost care.

Step 1 - The right cleansing products can make or break sensitive skin. To start your skincare routine, begin with a soap-free facial cleanser. Squirt a coin sized amount of it in your palm and massage it into your face with your fingertips. Especially after a long day spent wearing makeup, this step will thoroughly clean up after you. Allow the cleanser to sit for a minute and splash it off with cold water.

Step 2 - Next, take a single pump of a foaming cleanser and apply it over your face and neck. Use a light hand to lather it into your skin with your fingertips and leave it for another minute.

Step 3 - Wash the cleanser off and splash your skin with cold water. This will constrict the vessels and pores to give your sensitive skin a fresh, clean feel. Pat your skin dry and move on to the next step.

Step 4 - Soak a cotton pad with a gentle, soothing toner and apply it all over your face while ensuring you avoid your eyes and lips. Let it air dry naturally for 2 minutes and move on to the final step.

Step 5 - Apply a lightweight moisturiser on your face and neck with circular motions of your fingertips and allow it to soak into your skin for a minute. Choose wisely because the right moisturiser won't weigh down your sensitive skin or clog your pores.
