"Beautiful Skin: Skin Care for Sensitive Skin
Hi, I'm Dr. Elissa Lunder. I've been practicing dermatology at Dermatology Partners in Wellesley,
Massachusetts for the past 10 years. I believe that skin care doesn't have to be complicated.
With a few simple steps you can have beautiful skin. You can visit Dermatology Partners on
the web at dermatologypartnersinc.com. So today we're gonna talk about skin care. People
with sensitive skin have to treat their skin really gentle. You have to make sure you're
picking a right gentle moisturizer. Sometimes you may want to use products that are meant
for babies. Gentle cleansers such as Cetaphil or Dove for sensitive skin tend to work really
well on people with sensitive skin. You want to test out any sort of products that you
use on your arm first on your arm to see if it's something you can tolerate. So before
you take a cream and put it all over your face and find out it gives you a rash you
want to test it out on your arm first. You also want to see if there are foods that you
are eating that are going to aggravate your skin and make it more sensitive. So you may
want to avoid red wine and spicy food which can cause break outs in some people. And when
you're picking out sun block people with sensitive skin tend to tolerate the physical blockers
than the chemical blockers. So look for ingredients that are have titanium and zinc oxide rather
than the chemical blockers. What's even better is if you have sensitive skin is to use sun
protective clothing. A big hat and an SPF shirt will be much better tolerated by your
skin than some of the chemicals that may irritate you.
