“6 Signs You Have Sensitive Skin”

Most people think of sensitive skin as skin that is easily irritated. However, if you have experienced one of the following symptoms before, that means you are likely to have sensitive skin.

 

1. Your skin is dry

Dry skin and sensitive skin can go hand-in-hand. It can lead to acne breakouts and cracked skin. You will likely have more problems with dry skin in cold, dry weather and when exposed to wind. 

2. You notice redness 

Most people with sensitive skin deal with some amount of redness. This can take the form of a red rash, red bumps, blushing and flushing.

3. Your skin is reactive

Soaps, detergents, fragrances, perfumes, skincare products, and household products may cause your skin to react whether it may be itchiness, dryness or reddening. In addition, exposure to cold, sun, and wind can trigger flares.

4. You develop rashes often

Sensitive skin may react with a red, dry, flaky, or bumpy rash when exposed to a trigger. This is especially true for products that are left on your skin, such as facial creams. You may develop a rash very quickly after contact. 

5. You’re prone to breakouts

If you have sensitive skin, you may develop breakouts that look like acne with red bumps and pustules. You may find that an acne wash or cream to treat the breakouts only worsens your symptoms.

What should I do if I have sensitive skin?

If you have sensitive skin, you should immediately abandon all makeups with chemical ingredients immediately as those will only worsen your symptoms.

To make things worse, On 15th June 2021, the University of Notre Dame has published a new research report in the academic journal "Environmental Science and Technology Letters "reporting a fact of high concentrations of fluorine compounds (PFAS) in cosmetic products such as concealers, foundations, eye makeup, and lip makeup sold and used in the US and Canada. 

After the team's investigation on over 200 makeup cosmetic products, the team detected a high concentration of PFAS in 52% of the products.

These data tell us that there is so much toxicity in the makeup products we use every day. Even before we saw this report, many people probably also had the feeling that makeup would do something terrible to our bodies.

The "Toxic Defender Skincare"

This news immediately reminded me of one unique brand I knew. They have been looking into this problem for some years ago.

Slo-brew Botanical has an exciting product called the Geologist Herbal Claypack that applies a clay called montmorillonite, made from the volcanoes 65 million years ago. It has the property of generating a nano-molecular shield of clay minerals which allows you to do your makeups over it, the most prominent feature.

It's a different way of using clays only known by some professionals or DIY cosmetic freaks, and Slo-brew literally made it into a product for more people to have this helpful method in those hands.

It has 3 features:

1. Pollutants Shielding
2. Purification (contamination removal)
3. Intense Moisturizing

And the products' primary purpose is so outstanding that it generates a "veil" to protect the skin from contaminations of the makeups & pollutants and provides an intense moisturizing effect simultaneously during the DAYTIME.

Geologist Herbal Claypack is different from those conventional claypacks designed for evening routines.

If you're worried about your makeup in contact with your skin, I think it's worth trying out this kind of physical segregating approach.
