With each passing year, hundreds of skincare companies are emerging, vying for a place in the vast beauty industry. This often involves aggressive social media marketing aimed at capturing the attention of younger and working individuals. Many consumers, enticed by these marketing strategies, experiment with multiple products without understanding their skin type or condition, leading to potential skin issues.
People with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) are particularly susceptible to this consumerism. But, individuals with AD, their skin requires special care. AD skin is significantly more sensitive, necessitating extreme caution with any application. Even the slightest irritation from a new product or DIY treatment can trigger a flare-up, resulting in red, itchy, and inflamed skin. For those with AD, skincare products should be as simple, gentle, and bland as possible. This means avoiding added fragrances, essential oils, and known irritants like camphor and lanolin.
It’s far easier to select appropriate skincare products than to manage a flare-up. Therefore, products should be chosen with minimal effort, focusing on their suitability for sensitive skin
Salon treatments should also be approached with caution. Fragrant compounds, aromatherapy creams, and unfamiliar massage techniques can precipitate a flare-up. To achieve a better quality of life with fewer flares, individuals with AD should strictly follow their dermatologist’s advice.
While skincare trends will continue to evolve, the priority should always be maintaining the health and balance of your skin. Following a dermatologist’s guidance ensures that your skin stays at its best, despite the ever-changing trends in the beauty industry.
