Sensitive Skincare Rules « Dermal Radiance

These rules are very similar to the Golden Rules of Skincare but there are specific ones added for sensitive skin

If wearing makeup – use a gentle makeup remover to remove your makeup at night.
After washing off your makeup at night always wash your face again so there is no residue on top of your skin.
Use a gentle cleanser.
Avoid creams and washes with beads or soaps in them.
Serums and moisturisers are best applied when skin has just been washed and is slightly damp
Any active ingredients in treatments- leave them for night time so the sun or your daytime creams do not interfere with them
Avoid apply creams with active ingredients (anti-aging, blemish ) around the eye area. This area is very fragile and sensitive.
If you are trying a new skincare range, always introduce one cream at a time. It makes it much easier to figure out if you are having a reaction.
If any treatment is stinging on your face for longer than 2-3 seconds- wash it off immediately and moisturise your skin.
Avoid harsh methods of hair removal on your face- threading or bleaching is much more gentle.
Avoid washing your face or having a shower in water that is too hot. Luke-warm to cold water is best for your face.
In summertime if you are outside between 9am – 5pm either wear a sunscreen or stick to the shade to prevent premature ageing.
In winter the timings for sunscreen is 11am – 2pm
Listen to your skin- if it’s dry- moisturise it, if it’s oily do not smother it.
Be gentle with your skin- no harsh rubbing or scrubbing
Do not exercise with makeup or sunscreen.
