Dr. Sagar Gujjar, Dermatologist, Founder and Director of Skinwood Senior Aesthetic Center (India), said that skin irritation is a common condition, which can be caused by many reasons such as dry skin, overuse of cosmetics, exposure to unprotected sunlight, or a water environment with clo.
Dr. Sagar Gujjar shares 6 effective tips to help soothe irritated skin, including:
1. Gentle skin care and adequate moisturization
You should use gentle care products. Use a cleanser with a balanced pH and avoid active ingredients such as AHA, BHA or retinol.
After washing your face, always moisturize to keep it moist and support the skin barrier. During the day, use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher; at night, prioritize moisturizing masks containing hyaluronic acid and skin soothing.
2. Intensive treatment at the clinic
According to Dr. Sagar Gujjar, therapies such as medicated masks, LED lights or exosome treatment can help reduce inflammation and speed up skin recovery. This is a suitable solution for severe skin irritation and needs a quick recovery.
3. Adjust your lifestyle to prevent recurrence
Always use sunscreen when going out, avoid wearing too thick makeup or using products containing exfoliants. A healthy lifestyle with a diet rich in antioxidants and drinking enough water every day will help keep the skin healthy from within.
4. Drink enough water, limit hot showers
Skin care expert Nikhil Kakkar ( IKCURA Skincare cosmetic center, India) recommends drinking enough water to keep the skin moist. At the same time, avoid bathing in water that is too hot because it can remove the natural oils, making the skin dry and prone to irritation. Choose warm water to maintain the necessary moisture.
5. Wash your face properly with gentle products
Washing your face too much or using a strong cleanser will damage the skin barrier. Choose products with mild ingredients such as tea tree oil and mint - both clean and anti-inflammatory, helping the skin to balance and cool.
6. Moisturize regularly with vitamin C
Moisturizing twice a day is key to maintaining a healthy skin barrier. creams containing vitamin C not only provide deep moisture but also protect the skin from environmental damage, reduce sensitivity and naturally brighten the skin.
