Sensitivity

[samisunn]

I have recently developed very dry and itchy skin. I keep breaking out all over my chin, cheeks and forehead. I recently had a dermaplane facial and ever since my skin has just been reacting to anything I put on it (whether it be a skincare product or make up). If anybody has any suggestions my skin and I would appreciate it very much. 🙂

Try something like avene tolerance creme. It’ll help soothe your skin until your natural barrier is restored. Avoid everything with fragrance and acids, at least until things get better

@samisunn What specific products have you been putting on your face since your dermaplane facial?

You might need to roll your usual skincare routine waaaaay back to something very simple: 

1. Wash with a gentle hydrating/moisturizing cleanser. What's your current cleanser? 
2. Moisturize with something that contains occlusive ingredients (petrolatum, mineral oil, shea butter, etc.). An occlusive moisturizer will act as a protective barrier while your skin heals. 
3. Use sunscreen during the day. A mineral/physical one may work best for you right now. 

Did the folks who did your dermaplane facial offer any post-treatment skincare advice?

I've been using (AM): Cerave SA Renewing Cleanser, Beauty Water toner, Khiels Ultra hydrating moisturizer. (PM): Cerave SA Renewing Cleanser, Heritage Store Rosewater Toner, Argan oil, Khiels Ultra hydrating moisturizer. 

My facialist said she has ordered two hydrojelly masks for me and masks for sensitivity.

@samisunn If you were using a salicylic acid cleanser twice a day after dermaplaning, you likely overexfoliated. I see this post was from a couple weeks ago so hopefully your skin has calmed down some, but if not switch your cleanser to a gentle cream cleanser and stop the beauty water for not since it has mild exfoliants as well.

@samisunn Hey! I used an ingredient analysis app called Clearya to check out the ingredients in the products you listed. Those are the screenshots below. I couldn't do an analysis on the Argan oil since you didn't specify which brand. If it's 100% Argan Oil, it should be fine, but some brands have the oil as a main ingredient or name the product after it when there's way more inside. Just check the ingredients. I've never heard of the procedure you did so I can't say anything about the side effects, but you should use Clearya to screen your products and when you're buying something new.

All things in loveThe App gave Cerave a Red!That's a list of known allergens/irritants in the Beauty Water toner!Khiel's scored a Red as well!Heritage Rosewater toner passed
