Seasonal Survival Routine for Sensitive Skin

Every spring and autumn, I suffer from a triple whammy of rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and skin allergies. Just the slightest touch of fine dust or pollen floating in the air makes my face itchy, red, and swollen.

So, during this period, when I return home after going out, my top priority routine is to head straight to the bathroom without a second's hesitation and start by cleansing.

After thoroughly double cleansing to completely wash away the dirt trapped in my pores, I never apply functional cosmetics and finish my skincare routine using only a soothing essence containing Centella Asiatica or Tea Tree ingredients.

When my skin is really irritated, even providing nutrients actually causes irritation. On days when the itching is severe, I soak a cotton pad in cold saline solution and place it on my skin like a pack; this works wonders for bringing down the heat. Let's all hang in there, allergy sufferers!
