Best care for dry, irritated skin
Dryness, tightness, redness, itching. If your skin struggles with these problems on a daily basis, you may have “atopic” skin.
Atopic skin has similar characteristics to sensitive skin, but atopic skin needs to be treated more gently and with anti-itch products that contain active ingredients.
If you have atopic skin, follow some tips from Absolution and learn how to best care for it. Characteristics of atopic skin.
Your skin is your first line of defense against environmental influences such as cold, UV rays, bacteria and urban pollution. This means that your skin has a lot to deal with! But sometimes it’s all too much and it seems impossible to
keep your skin feeling comfortable or looking beautiful.
If you have atopic skin (your skin easily reacts to the smallest things), it means that your skin is not able to act as an effective protective barrier. This makes it more sensitive to environmental influences,
immediately causing redness, tightness and discomfort, as well as stinging sensations, often accompanied by a strong urge to scratch. However, if you give in and scratch, your skin will feel even more uncomfortable
and may be left with painful lesions.
The hydrolipidic film of atopic skin is unbalanced – similar to sensitive skin. It is either lacking in water or oil, and sometimes both.
To care for and soothe the skin, it is important to take preventive measures immediately at the first sign of discomfort. Trust in nature and use Absolution certified organic skin care products for a targeted beauty routine that is
gentle on atopic skin.
