Do you know which ingredients you should definitely avoid if you have sensitive skin?
I have extremely sensitive skin that gets red and irritated even with the slightest ingredient inconsistency. So, when choosing cosmetics, I analyze the ingredient list one by one, almost as if I were studying for a civil service exam. Among them, fragrance and ethanol can be the most irritating to sensitive skin, so I always avoid them when choosing products.
Parabens and silicone ingredients can also clog pores or interfere with skin respiration, so caution is required. These days, there are many products made with only good ingredients, so the range of choices has expanded. However, there are still many cases where people buy products based solely on advertisements and end up disappointed. Therefore, making your own list of ingredients to avoid will be of great help.
If you buy a new cosmetic product, get in the habit of testing it on the back of your ear or the inside of your arm before applying it directly to your face. Waiting for a day and seeing if there are any side effects is the best way to prevent any potential side effects. I hope that those of us with sensitive skin can share information and manage our skin healthily and safely.
