Hello my lovelies – how are you? I am full of the joys of spring today, the sun is shining and it really feels like winter has left us behind – so here’s hoping!
I caught up with a very dear friend for a coffee yesterday who I have known since school – how amazing is that! She however very kindly reminded me that I had not done a blog for quite some time, she even said she enjoyed them (see I told she was a very dear friend!) so here I am prompted to put fingers to keyboard again….
It seems like a while since I have done this so forgive me if I am little rusty. I had a look back over some of the things I had written about in the past and decided that I might touch on sensitive skin. It seems I have had a lot of emails lately from lovely ladies that suffer from all types of issues with their skin. Hopefully I have been able to help them!
So, sensitive skin – the exact reason for it is unknown. It can be associated with dry and dehydrated skin, as well as oily skin and is characterised by redness, itching, burning and in the worst cases, small pustules.
One possible reason is a thin, compromised corneum layer. In such cases, the protective barrier is impaired and may not allow products to penetrate to the deeper and more delicate epidermal layers.
Sensitive skin may be one of the most difficult to treat because the exact cause is unknown. It can appear in dry, dehydrated or oily skin. Sensitive skin is best treated with gentle products that restore the skins protective barrier while promoting balance.
Now as I sign off I have a challenge for you all – I would like to know what you would like to hear about in this blog of mine and I have decided that a wee bit of bribery could go a long way…. So for the first 100 replies with a useful suggestion I will post you an exfoliating mitt to say thanks!
So enjoy this start to spring and….
Love Your Skin!
