The best specialized treatments for sensitive skin
Teresa de Miguel Miró
What are they? This is a question nearly 50% of Spanish women are asking themselves, and they are particularly concerned about caring for sensitive skin with personalized treatments. Cosmetics and treatments specializing in sensitive skin are becoming increasingly popular and are experiencing a golden age; sensitive skin is the new darling of the beauty world, and almost everyone claims to have some degree of skin sensitivity without really knowing what that means.
There are still many questions about sensitive skin. Is it something you're born with or something you develop? Is it lifelong or reversible? Does it appear seasonally? Are there different degrees of skin sensitivity?
HOW TO KNOW IF I HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN (FOR REAL)
The first thing to clarify is that this isn't a skin type, but a skin condition. Secondly, the estimated figures aren't exaggerated, and the problem of sensitive skin increases with pollution, stress, and the intensity of sunlight.
We can talk about sensitive skin (something that never changes and is written in the genes) or about skin that is temporarily sensitized as a result of aggressive exfoliation, the overuse of excessively aggressive cosmetic ingredients, or episodes of stress.
In any case, both skin types can be identified in the same way:
- It gets irritated easily.
- It does not respond well to temperature changes.
- It is usually thin and clear.
- It often presents redness.
- It is often tight and dry and may cause itching or burning.
- It burns easily in the sun.
DERMATOLOGICAL CARE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Need and trend. Until recently, sensitive skin had to make do with a limited list of ingredients. They looked with a certain envy at other skin types, which could benefit from the most potent active ingredients in high concentrations to combat blemishes, pimples, enlarged pores, wrinkles, lack of radiance, or sagging.
Today, this has changed. There's 'green' retinol, plant-based 'Botox-like' active ingredients, and harmless acids that renew and brighten the skin…
The most generous companies even go so far as to create a 'sensitive' version of their most well-known treatments.
Caring for sensitive skin is a practice that should extend from cleansing time to bedtime, and there are increasingly more cosmetics formulated specifically for them.
A cleanser: Dr. Schrammek's Super Soft Cleanser . Specially formulated for sensitive and dehydrated skin, this cleansing milk gently and effectively cleanses, preventing dryness while restoring the skin's hydrolipidic barrier. Its pH-neutral formula perfectly removes makeup and dirt particles and is even suitable for removing eye makeup.
A toner: Press & Glow by Medik8. It's the perfect toner for sensitive skin, and it also has anti-aging properties. It leaves skin luminous, even-toned, and perfectly hydrated, while also maintaining a strong and healthy skin barrier and providing immediate soothing relief.
A serum: Dr. Barbara Sturm's Calming Serum . Immediate calming for reactive skin, it reduces redness, itching, and burning sensations, and restores balance to skin stressed by sleep deprivation, jet lag, air conditioning, or exposure to environmental pollution.
A day cream: ProbioSense by Dr. Schrammek . A probiotic balm that strengthens the skin's flora and, therefore, its protective barrier, creating an environment that promotes its balanced and healthy development. It contains a probiotic ingredient (Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate), prebiotic inulin (a nutrient for probiotics), and mimosa bark extract. This combination soothes and reduces skin irritation and redness.
An eye cream: Biologique Recherche's Biosensitive Eye Contour Cream . A soothing and hydrating treatment for the delicate eye area. Formulated to reduce inflammation, hydrate, and protect the delicate eye contour. It relieves skin sensitivity with polysaccharides, nourishes with ceramides, and brightens the eye area with white tea leaf extract.
An exfoliant: Essence de Ayuna. Its rich, creamy texture works in three phases: first, as a protein exfoliant based on alpha-amino acids (aspartic and glutamic acids) that releases its powerful renewing action upon contact with the skin. Next, its non-grainy peeling action allows for quick and effective skin refining and rejuvenation. Finally, the formula transforms into an oil that leaves skin feeling incredibly soft.
A mask:Toleskin M by Biologique Recherche. An indispensable ally in case of skin reactions. It soothes and reconditions the epidermis, providing immediate comfort and relief. It also replenishes lipids and prevents water loss. It strengthens the skin barrier and improves its ability to protect itself against external aggressors.
SPECIALIZED TREATMENTS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Those with sensitive skin should not fear salon treatments, but quite the opposite.
From time to time, they need treatments that strengthen them and calm outbreaks of redness or rosacea.
At Beldon Beauty we are very aware of the needs of sensitive skin and beyond calming and strengthening it, aware that it is a condition and not a type of skin, we offer treatments tailored to each specific need.
We always begin with our free facial analysis, and based on each situation, we will develop a unique protocol. Here are some examples:
Treatment for sensitive skin with wrinkles and/or blemishes.
We recommend the Dermacure Facial Treatment, which offers intensive cell renewal thanks to its cosmetic chemical peels, tailored to each skin type! And for professional use only.
It not only shows instantly visible results, but also a complete and progressive regeneration of all epidermal layers, creating new, luminous, even and smooth skin.
This treatment makes sensitive skin feel comfortable with the word 'peeling'. Among its benefits are creating more tolerant skin with a restored barrier function, promoting collagen production, helping to fade blemishes, reducing wrinkles, and deeply nourishing the skin.
Treatment for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
LED Light Therapy is an innovative treatment that uses cool ultraviolet light of different colors, which acts on the skin as an anti-inflammatory while improving its texture and appearance. The light-emitting diodes on which it is based activate cell growth, thus combating aging, hyperpigmentation, and specific problems such as acne. To treat sensitive and acne-prone skin, violet and blue lights should be used.
Sensitive and dry skin.
This is one of the most common scenarios. In this case, Beldon's 100% personalized Sensitive Skin Treatment is perfect. All the active ingredients applied are designed not to further sensitize the skin, but rather to strengthen and repair it, and they have an anti-inflammatory effect. Furthermore, they balance the skin's microbiota and hydrolipidic film so that it can properly defend itself against external factors, and they help to hydrate and nourish the skin.
Treatment for very sensitive skin
Biologique Recherche's ToleSkin is highly beneficial for sensitive skin in its reactive phase, quickly achieving visible results by increasing its resistance and providing a long-lasting, soothing and comfortable effect. This protocol mobilizes fluids in the face, neck, décolleté, and eye contour area, allowing the skin to better absorb the treatment's active ingredients. Furthermore, the application of a special mask and the use of cryo sticks enhance hydration.
The possibilities are endless. Don't hesitate to contact us if you see yourself reflected in our description of sensitive skin. Although it's a problem that will always be with you, we'll help you manage it and alleviate its symptoms.
