People with increased skin reactions during allergy season, that is, in the spring months, have a difficult time. Foci of irritation and peeling, itching and a general feeling of tension become their constant companions. And cosmetics that perfectly meet the needs of the skin in summer or autumn cannot always help. Then you should take a closer look at products labeled “hypoallergenic.” How they differ from ordinary cosmetics and which ones are worth trying are discussed below.
How do hypoallergenic cosmetics differ from regular ones?
Hypoallergenic cosmetics are designed to care for sensitive skin. Therefore, the main task of such products is to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. This means that hypoallergenic cosmetics should not contain ingredients that can cause irritation. These often include essential oils, mineral oils, fragrances, dyes, lanolin, plant extracts, honey and other bee products.
How do I know if I have hypoallergenic cosmetics?
Typically the packaging of hypoallergenic cosmetics is labeled “for sensitive skin” or “hypoallergenic”. In most cases, an equal sign can be placed between these two concepts.
7 hypoallergenic products for face and body
Shower oil is a must for sensitive skin. It prevents the skin from drying out by neutralizing the effects of hard water. Therefore, if your skin is prone to allergies, it should definitely be on your bathroom shelf. It should also be hypoallergenic. Camomilla BLU is an Italian brand that produces dermatological cosmetics. It is perfect for caring for irritated and sensitive skin as it does not contain potentially allergenic ingredients.
The formula contains herbal (read: non-aggressive) surfactants that gently cleanse the skin and remove any traces of makeup and sebum. At the same time, the gel does not tighten the epidermis and leaves a feeling of comfort. The product has been dermatologically tested and found safe for sensitive skin.
Spanish brand Skeyndor has a special range of products designed for the needs of sensitive skin – Aquatherm. The products in this range are based on Salies-de-Bèarn thermal water and a mineral healing complex that helps strengthen and repair the skin’s natural barrier. This series is ideal for epidermis prone to irritation.
All Skin Helpers brand products are designed for dry skin. They contain no dyes or fragrances, only ingredients for sensitive skin. And they’ve saved our face more than once when other methods didn’t work. Emulsion for face and body deeply nourishes and softens the skin, reduces flaking and protects the skin from external aggressive factors.
The risk of allergic reactions is minimized in Cosmedix brand formulas. For example, for sensitive skin, the brand has patented a special encapsulation system consisting of retinol and retinal for maximum skin regeneration without the irritating properties of retinoids – LG-Retinex. Ideal for dry and sensitive skin.
The brand has the Atoderm series for sensitive, dry and atopic skin. The products of the series are quite tolerable, hypoallergenic and suitable for adults, children and babies. You can use the triple effect balm for both face and body. It helps relieve symptoms accompanying dry, very dry and atopic skin, soothes, moisturizes and increases its resistance to aggressive factors.
It is generally accepted that many drugstore brands are pre-hypoallergenic. Because they have been tested by dermatologists and do not contain substances that may cause skin reactions. La Roche-Posay is one of them. The brand has many series for different skin needs. Therefore, choosing the right product will not be difficult. But since it is already April and the sun’s rays can only worsen the allergic reaction, we recommend that you take a closer look at a liquid with an SPF factor.
