With winter weather approaching, the season for sensitive skin is returning. Sometimes you may find yourself applying lotions all day long to heal chapped, red skin. One application seems to never be enough. Some people also find that their skin is just too sensitive all year round, winter or summer. Your skin might not even be able to handle multiple applications of lotion without becoming irritated. So when will a skincare line ever come out that is formulated for such sensitive and intolerant skin? The answer is now. Originating in France, lines such as Avène and Nuxe have developed skin care products specially made for sensitive, dry, and intolerant skin.

Avéne’s special weapon for combating sensitive skin is the use of their straight-from-the-source Thermal Spring Water in every product they make. All of their products are:

• Rich in silicate and trace elements soothes, calms and softens
• Protects and purifies skin
• Low salt mineral content (NoCl, 207 mg/l) adapted to sensitive skin will not dry out the skin (see Avène’s NoCl amount compared to other thermal spring water)

Nuxe has a wide range of products for all skin types but makes special moisturizers and creams formulated for very dry and sensitive skin. Using natural ingredients, their products are able to soothe and protect your skin instead of damaging it. No synthetic coloring agents, no mineral oils, and no animal ingredients are used in any of their formulas.

Do you have oily skin that seems to shine no matter what kind of makeup you’re wearing? It can get annoying constantly wiping your face throughout the day or using blotching papers. Well now you can kiss oily skin goodbye because Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel was designed with oily skin in mind.

It’s a gentle, hypoallergenic cleanser that purifies your skin of oils and impurities, leaving it soft and oil free. It combines a blend of herbs, natural cleansers, and Aloe vera that remove any kind of pollutant your skin can build up. It removes these oils without over drying and is great for sensitive skin, too.

A special formulation of Saponins are a key ingredient within Obagi’s Foaming Gel. They act as a natural detergent to cleanse your skin and keep it clean all day. The Aloe soothes your skin as an anti-inflammatory agent and reduces redness and swelling. Your skin will remain extremely soft with reduced shine all day. This product isn’t just for oily skin, normal to combination skin can use it too for the soothing properties it has.

Makeup has been around for centuries, improving the appearance of our skin and enhancing our natural features. The Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used kohl to darken and line their eyes and crude paint and powder for their face. What they didn’t know was that many of these substances contained dangerous lead compounds and mercury.

Over time, Cosmetologists have changed the formulas used in cosmetics in order to have safe yet effective products. Today, makeup containing natural minerals from the earth is preferred over synthetic compounds. These natural minerals are safer to use on your skin and won’t clog your pores or irritate sensitive skin. Mineral Makeup is safer to use on acne and other skin problems because it skips the use of fragrances and synthetic dyes.

Ingredients such as titanium oxide and zinc oxide have anti-inflammatory properties which allow people suffering from acne or rosacea to use them over their problematic skin. Many kinds of mineral makeup incorporates titanium and zinc oxide for those reasons. These two ingredients also have natural sun protection (SPF) within them making several mineral makeup products a great boost for your regular sunscreen base.

Not all mineral makeup uses all natural ingredients so make sure to read the ingredients of your favorite product before applying it to your skin.
