Alcohol-containing Toner
If your skin is naturally drier, you must avoid products that contain alcohol. Dry and aging skin can be extremely sensitive and prone to irritations.
Alcohol in skincare products can have a more serious impact if you have a more textured skin. The skin’s protective barrier is at risk of becoming excessively dry due to the evaporation of moisture from the skin, and this leads to the infiltration of irritants that cause inflammation and redness.
Foaming face cleanser with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
Sodium lauryl sulfate (often abbreviated as SLS) is an ingredient found in many foaming face cleansers that creates a soapy lather which can irritate sensitive skin and cause itching or redness.
If you have dry skin and regularly use products containing SLS, try switching to something more gentle like coconut oil.
A much better choice for a face cleanser is one that is pH balanced and gentle, so use this type of face cleanser every morning and evening with warm water.
After cleansing your face at night, apply hyaluronic acid serum before going to sleep. When we apply an effective skincare product, like hyaluronic acid, at night, we will see optimum results from the product. This is because our skin relies heavily on water and the hydration process.
Hyaluronic acid applied to the skin at night penetrates the skin and then continues to draw water to it, allowing for better moisturization of the skin.
Oil-based Day Creams/Citrus-based Cosmetics (Citrus oils)
Low concentrations of essential oils from oranges, lemons, and limes found in skincare products usually have minimal noticeable effects, but they are often advertised as having high antioxidant properties and helping to heal wounds quickly.
However, they can also cause phytophotodermatitis. This dermatological condition causes brown spots to continuously appear on your skin without any discernible warning signs (redness, itching, or blisters).
Fragranced Face Cleansers and Moisturizers
Fragrances can cause irritation and allergic reactions. You may not even realize that the products you use daily have fragrances, so make sure to carefully check each bottle before purchasing to ensure that no fragrances have been added.
Make sure that any skincare product or face cleanser you use does not contain fragrance in its ingredients.
