Naturally sensitive skin requires special attention. Choosing the wrong beauty products can be fatal such as skin irritation, acne or other skin disorders.
There are many terms in the make-up products on the market. Starting from hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, until the term non-comedogenic. Which one is right for sensitive skin?
Fragrance-free
& Unscented
Some products for sensitive skin is also often display a label "fragrance-free". While the product "unscented" means without scent. Well be careful to distinguish between them. "Fragrance-free" means containing no artificial fragrance, while the "unscented" may be using materials that eliminate the smell of perfumes or fragrances. So the "unscented" are not necessarily free of perfumes or fragrances.
Why is this important? Some skins have allergic reactions to artificial fragrances contained in beauty products. Not just make-up, products such as shampoo, soap, and moisturizers also often contain perfumes or fragrances.
Artificial fragrance has a different reaction in each person. Allergies, such as itching, redness on the skin, or other allergic disorders are common allergic reactions to artificial fragrances. Artificial fragrances are the five major causes of allergies in the world. Besides having adverse effects on sensitive skin, in certain people, artificial fragrances can also disturb the brain and nervous system. Dizziness or shortness of breath is one of the symptoms that arise due to this substance.
Non-comedogenic
Especially for the skin prone to comedones, these products should be considered. Products with this label means, has been tested on oily skin, which is more prone to comedones. Comedones can appear due to clogged pores of the skin by using make-up. Generally more common in oily skin.
The product is claimed to be low-risk causes comedones, blackhead or whitehead. However, the effects of these products on each skin is different. For very oily skin, you can still experience the onset of comedones due to the use of make-up that labeled non-comedogenic. If your skin is considered very oily skin, you should first test the product on your skin before deciding to buy it.
