5 ways to soothe and repair sensitive, irritated skin, using just one cream
“Sensitive skin”. You’ve heard it many times, but what exactly does the term “sensitive skin” mean? What factors affect it and how can it be improved? Regardless of your skin type, your skin can become sensitive or irritated for a period of time, due to specific factors. This means that you may not have been “born” with sensitive skin, but it is not 100% certain that it cannot become sensitive at any time in your life. Therefore, no matter how far you are from the sensitive skin type, it is very important to know WHAT it is, WHY it becomes sensitive and HOW to calm and repair it according to your skin type.
What factors irritate our skin?
Let's start by knowing the enemy. There are many factors that surround us and create irritation in the skin, turning it into sensitive. Our skin is vulnerable to external factors and you may be surprised by some of them that you will see below:
Some factors that can irritate your skin:
– External, environmental factors (UV radiation/atmospheric dust/heat)
– Dry environment (Home/Office)
– Acne (and when you pop acne pimples!)
– Shaving
– Laser treatments
– Applying Makeup for a long time
– Applying cosmetics that don’t suit your skin
– Bacteria from your hands or clothes when you touch your skin
Easy tips to treat irritated skin at home
Now that you know what factors irritate your skin, it's time to learn how to solve it by taking care of the sensitive areas of your skin. Before we start recommending our beauty products for great results, you can try some solutions to soothe irritated skin at home. They are very simple to follow, especially when your skin needs immediate relief.
1. Combine cotton pads with isotonic saline solution
You'll be surprised to find that saline is an effective solution for irritated skin. In particular, it is incredibly soothing for sensitive skin when combined with saline. But remember that the product that makes the real difference is the use of isotonic saline solution (yes, the one you use to clean your nose!).
How to use : Mix 3-4 cotton pads (PRODUCT) with your regular serum and gently apply to your face as you would a cleansing serum. You can also use it as a face mask by applying the cotton pads to the irritated areas of your face.
2. Make room in the fridge to store your cosmetics!
If the above solution is too difficult for you, there is always an easier way to acquire a healthy habit that will relieve you whenever you need it! You can store your cosmetics (your cleansing serum, masks and moisturizer) in the refrigerator. By “cooling” your beauty products, you will see a big difference in the change in the temperature of your face (it will decrease) but also in irritations.
3. Use aluminum foil!
There are times when your skin is irritated and sensitive and needs a quick and effective solution to cool and soothe it. Instead of storing cotton pads in plastic bags in the refrigerator to keep them cool, you can use aluminum foil! Aluminum foil quickly transfers the cold without having to wait long for irritated skin to calm and cool down.
How to use: Soak 3-4 cotton pads (PRODUCT) in the serum or saline solution (see 1) and wrap them in aluminum foil. Place them in the refrigerator and wait for them to freeze.

Here you will find the right cream that will save your skin from all the problems that arise in emergency situations.

3) Irritated skin with acne marks and pimples
Taking the right vitamins for acne scars is the most important step to success! All you need to do is apply a few drops of avitamin serum before applying your night cream to create a protective base on your skin. Not only will it soothe irritated skin, but it will also reduce acne scars and transform your face into its brightest version!
4) Irritated skin with hydration problems
Lack of hydration in the skin when it is irritated is a very common phenomenon. This can be prevented by adding a little of the hydration serum to the night cream in a 1:2 ratio (or you can change the proportions, increasing the amount of serum, depending on the moisture level of your own skin).
5) Irritated skin with a lack of elasticity
If you want to activate your skin's elasticity and gain deep hydration in your irritated skin, it is important to use a cream that will enhance elasticity at the same time as your night cream. This can be none other than the moisturizing cream of By Wishtrend Vitamin 75 Maximizing Cream with vitamin E, an important ingredient for skin reconstruction and the lack of elasticity due to age. Your irritated skin will love this combination as it is very moisturizing and its texture does not "stick" to the face.
