While it may be beautiful, there is a downside to the changing weather: as the seasons shift, many Canadians will be noticing early signs of skin sensitivities. In fact, a survey recently conducted by Tide revealed that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians identify seasonal transitions as trying times for their skin, citing dryness, redness and irritation as their top concerns.
Dr. Sandy Skotnicki, leading Canadian dermatologist, knows that sensitive skin can be painful, irritating and frustrating for many. Here are her top tips to help soothe and prevent irritable skin.
1. Avoid fragrances and or botanicals in your daily washing, soaps, detergents and moisturizers, as they can be both irritants and allergens. Test out a detergent like the new Tide Pods Free & Gentle. For people with sensitive skin seeking a detergent free of dyes and perfumes, Tide Pods Free & Gentle provides a deep clean that leaves behind no dyes or perfumes on fabrics, for gentleness on skin.
2. Stick to non-foaming "soaps" in the shower. They do not strip the skin of its natural oils.
3. Only shower or bath once a day. Water dries out the skin.
4. Make sure that you keep bathing times to under 15 minutes and avoid using hot water.
5. After bathing, pat dry. Rubbing your body with a towel will remove moisture and further dry out your skin.
