7 Tips for Making Your Sensitive Skin Stronger

Updated July 30, 2019

1。Don’t Be So Sensitive

别这么敏感

Trying not being so sensitive is easier said that done when it’s your skin. Many of us experience dry and dehydrated skin, but sensitive skin can be a real challenge because your nerves are more sensitive, your skin may tear or bruise more easily, you suffer frequent breakouts and rashes and it can limit the skin care products you use. The most effective way to make your sensitive skin stronger is to create a strong barrier which enhances your skin’s ability to protect itself. Here are some sensitive skin tips that can power up your skin care regimen and make your skin fierce.

让你的皮肤别这么敏感是比较容易做到的。很多人都有皮肤干燥、脱水的经历，但敏感的皮肤可能是真正的挑战，因为你的神经更加敏感。你的皮肤可能会更易撕裂或擦伤，你可能会频繁发皮疹，这会对你使用的护肤品有所限制。让敏感肌肤更健康的最有效的方法是建立强大的屏障，提高皮肤保护自身的能力。以下小建议可以提高敏感肌肤的保养效果，让你的皮肤更坚强。

2. Watch Out for the Sun

当心太阳

“Wear sunscreen” is common advice these days, but sun protection is especially important for people with sensitive skin. Sun exposure can damage your skin, making it dry and aging it prematurely. Be sure to wear a good sunscreen that protects you from UVA and UVB rays and contains zinc oxide or titanium oxide. Also, avoid being out on the sun during the peak hours between 10am and 3pm. Remember, the sun isn’t the only skin irritant on a summer day. Heat can bother sensitive skin, so stay in the shade to keep cool and avoid getting overheated.

“擦防晒霜”是如今常见的建议，但防晒对皮肤敏感的人尤为重要。暴晒可能损害你的皮肤，使之干燥并提前老化。一定要擦上好的防晒霜，它能保护你免受UVA 和 UVB射线的伤害，含有氧化锌或氧化钛的防晒霜为佳。另外，上午10时至下午3时，紫外线最强烈时，避免外出暴晒。记住，夏天，阳光并不是刺激皮肤的唯一因素。高温也会干扰敏感的皮肤。因此，要待在阴凉处保持凉爽，避免过热。

3. Drink Lots of Water

多喝水

When your skin is dry it can make it thinner and more sensitive. An cost-effective addition to your skin care regimen is drinking at least 32 ounces of water a day. When your skin is hydrated, it’s plumper and healther. This becomes even more important as we age. When we’re born our body is 75% water and that decreases as we get older. Drinking more water will keep your skin from thinning so much as you age, plus its good for your other organs.

干燥会使皮肤更薄、更敏感。比较经济的皮肤护理方法就是每天至少喝32盎司的水。当皮肤水分充足时，它会更加饱满和健康。随着我们年龄的增长，补水变得更加重要。当我们出生时，身体75%都是水，而随着年龄增大，这个比例会下降。多喝水可以避免皮肤随年龄增大而变薄，而且对其它器官也有益。
