We're often asked this question. People with sensitive skin naturally have concerns, such as, "Will body scrubs be too irritating?" or "Is it safe to use?" Many people face these questions, but lacking proper information leads to improper use or even giving up. However, as long as you know how to choose and use it correctly, even those with sensitive skin can safely enjoy exfoliation.
Let me quote a dermatologist.
There are three key points: mild ingredients, appropriate frequency of use, and correct method of use .
| step | explain | Recommended points |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Preparation | Warm and soften your skin with lukewarm water | Applying a hot towel to your face or taking a warm shower are best options. |
| 2. Massage | Use your fingertips to gently slide in circular motions | Don't overexert yourself |
| 3. Rinse | Rinse thoroughly with warm water | Failure to rinse skin may cause irritation |
| 4. Moisturizing | Gently apply moisturizer to promote barrier recovery | This is an essential step, especially for sensitive skin. |
For example, Ousan Chenxiang Bioengineering's natural scrubs are made with sea salt, caffeine, and green tea extract. These products are ISO 22716 and GMP certified, making them safe even for sensitive skin.
The recommended frequencies are as follows: There is no need to force yourself to do it every day.
| Skin type | Dry season (winter) | Wet season (summer) | Recommended frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| sensitive skin | 1-2 times a month | Once every two weeks | Avoid overdose |
| Normal skin | Once every two weeks | Once a week | Adjust to suit your skin tone |
Therefore, if you have sensitive skin, you should be extra cautious. The skin barrier changes with the seasons, so it's important to monitor your skin's condition. If redness or itching occurs, reduce the frequency of use.
For example, a woman in her 40s with sensitive skin suffered from persistent redness and itching due to irritation from a sand paste she used once a week. She switched to a natural sand paste made from Wushan agarwood, reducing its use to twice a month and massaging it more gently . After three months, her skin texture improved, and the dryness was reduced.
So , choosing the right products and using them carefully can significantly improve the condition of your skin . The ideal approach is to take good care of your skin, but not overdo it.
The following questions can help you roughly predict your skin type. Give them a try.
If you experience more than one of these symptoms, we recommend gentle care and minimal sandpaper use . If you require more detailed advice, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for reading this far. I repeat, it's a waste to completely forgo exfoliation simply because you have sensitive skin. With a scientific approach and reliable product choices , you can achieve beautiful, smooth skin.
