How to cleanse sensitive skin?
Our skin has a PH value of approx 5.5 (slightly acidic)
Using alkaline cleansing products on skin for prolonged periods has damaging effects as it strips our skin of its natural protective barriers
Hence, it is best to use slightly acidic cleansing products for our skin (PH: 5.5)
The foam created by cleansing products are one of the culprits of causing sensitive skin. Hence, we should take care not to leave foam residue on skin for prolonged time and to thoroughly wash away any residue from cleansing products
Tip 1: Rub cleanser in palms to create foam before applying to face or use sponge ball to create foam. Directly applying cleanser on face to create foam can aggravate sensitive skins
Tip 2: Choose the correct type of cleansing products meant for sensitive skins. Cleansers with hydration ingredients are good and soothes sensitive skins
Tip 3: Never use a towel to pull at skin when drying. Instead, towel should be pressed on wet skin to dry it
