Replace Chemically Heavy Products With Lighter Versions
Are you a fan of getting something heavy and effective into your pores to give them a good scrub out? If so, your skincare crisis could be stemming from this habit. After all, your skin is quite sensitive, even if it’s a difficult ‘type’ to deal with. Being aggressive with it can sometimes backfire, and even though you feel like you’ve cleared the worst of the natural oils from your face, your skin is going to produce a lot more of it to return the balance it’s been predetermined to have.
Get A Proper Facial
If your skincare crisis seems to be persisting, you may want to visit a salon to get a proper facial treatment to alleviate it. Book in for a consultation first, to ensure you can talk through your worries with the practitioner, and then follow their advice if it seems right for you.
Facials come in various types and forms, and you could benefit from any one of them. You could book in for a hydrafacial that focuses on providing deeper hydration, or you could try out a light therapy facial, which are usually best for targeting signs of aging. Anyone who’s noticed drier skin could benefit from the former, and those who have concerns over sagging could benefit from the latter.
Less Is More
If your skin seems to be suffering right now, applying more products, in thick and heavy layers, could be the worst thing possible for it. Apply a less is more approach here. This is especially useful if you suspect you may be having an allergic reaction. In this case, make sure your skin is clear of any product that may have caused the problem and then get in touch with a dermatologist.
But above all, keep things to a minimum and see how your skin fares. Try not to aggravate it any further, and keep an eye out for signs of inflammation. Redness should start to fade, but if swelling occurs, you may need some more immediate help.
If you’re in the midst of a skincare crisis, make sure you stop, evaluate, and give your skin a break. You may need to change your current routine, try out a treatment, or you may need to dial back on having a routine at all!
