CLEANSING and moisturising are two essential and basic steps in skincare.
For those with sensitive skin, it pays to read the label on your product and look for formulas which take a gentle, skin-friendly approach.
Many cleansers can leave skin looking and feeling dry, leading to irritation.
Traditional cleansers offer lathering properties that consumers desire, but they often utilise a sulphate-based surfactant system which can lead to drying and other skin issues.
Keeping skin health in mind, Cetaphil has come up with a cleansing solution that cleans while maintaining skin hydration and is also devoid of soap, fragrance, and parabens, to ensure a gentle approach to skincare.
The Hydrating Foaming Cream Cleanser is a cream-to-foam face and body cleanser and has been formulated with aloe vera to nourish skin.
Suitable for all skin types, it helps remove pollution particles but cleanses in a gentle manner without drying skin.
KEEP SKIN HYDRATED
Moisturisation is essential no matter what type of skin you have but ideally, choose a formula that doesn't clog your pores or leave skin looking greasy while providing daily hydration.
For those with sensitive skin, it's important to opt for formulas that are also free of fragrance or other harsh ingredients.
Gel-based formulas are particularly popular in hot and humid climates as they hydrate without leaving skin greasy.
Cetaphil recently unveiled its Optimal Hydration Skin Replenishing Water Gel, a formula that provides hours of hydration for dry, dehydrated skin.
The gel soothes, replenishes, and plumps dehydrated, irritated skin while being oil, fragrance and dye-free.
The gel format also makes for quick absorption and gives a cooling sensation that's much needed in hot weather.
Galderma Malaysia country manager, Cindy Tiu says there is an intrinsic link between dehydration and skin sensitivity. Dehydration weakens the skin's moisture barrier, increasing its susceptibility to sensitivity and irritation.
"Our goal is to empower individuals with sensitive skin to achieve healthy, well-hydrated, and resilient skin," she says.
