People with sensitive skin are very lucky these days. There are so many products out there that have swapped the harsh ingredients for mild and natural ones so you don’t have to suffer through rashes and itchiness. From beauty products to clothes, there are formulas that allow you to live in comfort. Luckily, even lip butter balms are formulated for people with sensitive skin. 

There are a lot of ways that you can protect your sensitive skin so it pays to learn more about what some of your options are. In this article, we will go over several ways that you can protect yourself. 

1 – Stay hydrated

When your skin dries out it becomes very irritating. It is very important to stay hydrated both from within and from without. Make sure that you not only use moisturizing skin creams, but that you also drink plenty of water throughout the day. 

You should also focus on using products that are all-natural and don’t use any synthetic ingredients. Many moisturizers contain harsh chemicals that will not be good for those with sensitive skin. If you stick with vegan cosmetics, the chemicals are swapped out for natural ingredients. 

You do still need to get moisturizers that don’t have natural ingredients that can cause irritation, however. Look for gentle formulas that won’t cause rashes. 

Whether it is the summer or winter, you need to be drinking plenty of water to keep the supply of moisture in your skin high., In the summer you will sweat a lot of it out. In the winter, the dry air pulls moisture away from the skin.

2 – Use sun protection

We all have a love-hate relationship with the sun. Often, we long for the long days of summer and get plenty of vitamin D. The problem is that it can also cause sunburns and give people with sensitive skin a flare-up. This makes many people need to cover up just when everybody else is shedding their clothes. 

There are a lot of sunscreens out there that will help you block the dangerous UV rays that will cause sunburn. Look for sun blockers that work best for your skin type. The paler your skin is, the higher the protection that you need. Even those with dark skin need to use sunscreen but could use ones with a lower SPF rating. 

3 – Use the right toilet paper

Yes, even the toilet paper you use has an effect on your sensitive skin! This is often overlooked when you are out buying products that are either going to help get rid of your irritation or at least not cause it to begin with. 

There are lots of toilet paper for sensitive skin that are very gentle on your sensitive bits both because they don’t contain harsh ingredients, but also because they are very soft. For instance, bamboo toilet paper is made with natural ingredients and bamboo fibers are naturally already hypoallergenic. They are also much softer and stronger than regular toilet paper so you get more comfort and don’t have to use a lot to wipe.
