A Complete Guide to Healing Sensitive Skin.

Sensitive skin can be tough to manage as the skin may often react to what appears to be the simplest of ingredients. The skin’s reactivity is a result of a damaged skin barrier allowing everything to enter straight into the bloodstream. This may be a result of skin complaints such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne or the skin’s response to a poor diet or unhealthy lifestyle.

Can Sensitive Skin Be Treated?

The fantastic thing about the human body is that it is in constant state of repair. With that in mind, following a few tips can improve skin health and repair the damaged skin barrier.

Treat any skin problem with suitable, targeted treatment that won’t present with any side effects. I would encourage conjunctively using topical and internal treatments.

I found Chinese Medicine very effective for the management of my psoriasis. For topical treatment we have a beautiful cream, the Revitalising Scalp and Body cream that helps nourish problematic skin. If you are looking for something to help reduce redness and itchiness in the skin read more here

Enjoy a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as beetroots, green leafy vegetables, lean protein and whole foods.

Drink 2-3 litres of filtered water each day. This can be supplemented with chlorophyll.

Avoid drinking alcohol, and eating foods high in sugar, greasy fatty foods and refined carbohydrates.

Avoid smoking, late nights and being consumed by electronic devices.

Ensure your digestion, hormones, thyroid and general well being are at optimal levels. Imbalances in any of these areas will see skin health be compromised.

Manage stress and other negative emotions. Although it is important to experience all these emotions, it is detrimental to your health when these emotions are experienced often.

Meditate regularly. A meditative state is a healing state. The immense benefit to your mind, body and soul achieved by meditating both at the start and end of your day is phenomenal.

Exercise regularly. Encouraging the healthy circulation of blood throughout the entire body and the release of endorphins is fantastic for the health of your mind and body and your skin.
