Here’s How To Find Out"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Whenever you\u2019re buying a new beauty product, whether that\u2019s skincare or makeup, you will have to consider what skin type you have. The beauty market has largely expanded in recent years and that has resulted in a wide range of different products, targeting different skin types and tones. When buying skincare products, it is important to fully understand your skin type and the way your skin reacts to certain products or ingredients. Using the wrong product for your skin type can affect your skin in a negative way and of course, that\u2019s something we wouldn\u2019t want to happen. In this blog, we will run you through six signs that will tell you that you have sensitive skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. YOUR SKIN REACTS QUICKLY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your skin is sensitive, you will notice that it reacts very quickly to products that are applied. This doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be skincare products only, you might experience a reaction on your skin from simply washing your hands with soap. Harsh ingredients in skincare products are not a great match with sensitive skin and will likely cause redness and irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. BAD WEATHER IMPACTS YOUR SKIN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only may products have an impact on sensitive skin, but bad weather can also cause your skin to react. Cold, windy days are not your friend if your skin is sensitive, especially for people suffering from Rosacea. The bad weather can cause flushing via agitated, swollen blood vessels which can be painful and uncomfortable. When sensitive skin is inflamed, it\u2019s best to apply soothing products<\/a> that contain Calendula, Chamomile or Aloe Vera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. YOUR SKIN SHOWS REDNESS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blotchy, inflamed skin is a well-known issue for people with sensitive skin. Whether your redness shows up naturally as a reaction to certain situations or is caused by the usage of certain ingredients, if your skin flushes red easily, this is probably a sign you have sensitive skin. Redness takes form in multiple ways, such as red rash, red bumps, blushing and flushing, or even red dilated blood vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. DRY PATCHES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dry skin and sensitive skin go hand-in-hand. Dryness and irritation of the skin are signs of eczema, a skin condition that makes your skin red and itchy. Depending on the severity of your dryness and possible eczema, you can decide between different types of hydrators. The Obagi Hydrate<\/span><\/a>\u00ae is a moisturiser that provides all-day hydration and keeps the skin hydrated for up to eight hours. It\u2019s the perfect product for sensitive skin as it contains no harsh ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. YOUR SKIN BREAKS OUT EASILY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, if you\u2019re struggling with regular breakouts this might be caused by your sensitive skin. Dry, sensitive skin produces extra oils to compensate for the lack of moisture in the skin. This causes clogged pores that will result in more breakouts. To avoid breakouts when you have sensitive skin, you can use a gentle exfoliator to thoroughly clean your face twice a day. This will get rid of excess oil and dirt on your skin, leaving it clean and smooth.\u00a0Obagi CLENZIderm Foaming Cleanser<\/span><\/a>, including Salicylic Acid asa type of BHA,\u00a0has been specially formulated for normal to dry skin and effectively removes makeup, oil residue and impurities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. YOUR SKIN IS PRONE TO SUNBURNS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With sensitive skin comes increased sensitivity to UV rays that are caused by direct exposure to the sun. People with sensitive skin are more likely to sunburn and sunburn way quicker than people without sensitive skin. Is your skin already irritated or peeling before going into the sun? Be extra careful then, as the sun will have harmful effects on your skin. Whenever you\u2019re going out, whether this is in winter or summer, you should wear sunscreen at all times. Preferably, with sensitive skin, you should wear SPF30 or higher daily. If you don\u2019t want to stack layer on to layer, a 2-in-1 moisturiser and sunscreen combination will work best for you, such as the OBAGI360 Hydrafactor\u00ae SPF30<\/span><\/a>. Does your skin need more protection? The Obagi Sun Shield Matte\u2122 Broad Spectrum SPF50<\/span><\/a> will be your perfect match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
