3. Notes

1. Avoid using too hot water when washing your face. It is best to use running water and warm water when washing your face. After washing, you can apply a cold towel. Avoid using very hot water.

2. Take a bath and wash your face separately. Bath water is too hot and is not suitable for washing your face, the same goes for other skin types, let alone sensitive skin. So be sure to wash them separately.

3. Avoid eating. You should also pay more attention to what you eat. You must not eat barbecue, no matter how delicious it is, as it can cause great damage to sensitive skin and cause it to become severely dehydrated. Eat less fried foods, and of course it’s best not to eat them, whether they are staple foods or snacks. It is better to avoid spicy food. Also drink less alcohol.

4. Avoid sauna. People with sensitive skin should absolutely avoid sauna use. Whether it is dry steam or wet steam.

5. Avoid staying in a dry environment for a long time. For example, the dryness of air conditioning is ten times that of the desert. Being in such a dry environment for a long time is very detrimental to the recovery of sensitive skin. Therefore, try to find ways to increase the humidity in the air.

6. Massage less. Sensitive skin should be massaged very rarely, and the duration should not exceed ten minutes, and the massage should be very gentle.

7. Avoid hot spray. Whether in a beauty salon or at home, do not use hot steam for heat spray.

8. Strictly prevent sun exposure. Ultraviolet rays are also fatal to sensitive skin. Wear sun protection year-round. Not only outdoors, but also indoors, you must be careful not to use too many fluorescent lamps in your home because fluorescent lamps also contain ultraviolet rays.
