use products containing aloe vera, ginger, and burdock root on irritated areas.
5. You Might Get Rough Patches
While it’s normal to bundle up when it gets cold, the added layers can irritate your skin. This condition is known as keratosis pilaris and it affects how often skin sheds. It also causes your body to produce too much keratin. The result is that you’ll see rough patches on the skin accompanied by small bumps that resemble acne. In this case, it’s best to avoid too many clothes and materials like wool that hold heat close to your skin. It’s also helpful to use a gentle exfoliator to remove keratin build-up.
How To Take Care Of Your Skin
When it comes to sensitive Black skin, it’s critical to balance cleaning with moisturizing. The experts recommend using a gentle cleanser that has no added fragrances.
Exfoliants should also be gentle because the abrasive ones can cause small cuts that lead to inflammation and infection. Using a mud mask can help with unclogging your pores and rejuvenating your skin while a vitamin C serum encourages normal skin shedding.
Depending on your skin, it can be good to use a light moisturizer during the day and a thicker one before bedtime. Finally, you shouldn’t use hot water to wash your face or any sensitive areas on your body. The heat will only encourage dry skin and irritation.
The changing season can bring some much-needed cool weather, but it may also wreak havoc on your skin. However, if you adopt a preventive skincare routine and move quickly to ease your symptoms, you won’t have such a hard time. As always, it’s good to consult with your doctor before making any major changes to your routine.
