For Sensitive Skin
	Helpful Tips for Sensitive Skin Maintain skin's natural moisture – dehydrated skin is more vulnerable to immune responses, infections, sun damage, and sub-clinical irritation. Layering moisturizing formulas helps seal in moisture and forms a nourishing, protective shield. Tip: try layering Skin-Cell Regenerator Complex and/or Hydrating Gel under your favorite Golden Door moisturizer. Eat well. Nutrition plays an important role. Vegetables and fruit –foods with higher water content and vitamin sources – help maintain healthy skin. Hydrate all day long. Make sure to drink plenty of water every day. Avoid spicy foods, and caffeinated or alcoholic drinks that may be too stimulating. Use concentrated moisturizers to counteract time spent indoors with forced air heating or air conditioning. Try Skin-Cell Regenerator Complex layered beneath Rejuvenating Day. Avoid over-zealous cleansing, which can take away the lipid barrier intended to protect your skin from bacteria and environmental assaults. If necessary, limit the use of exfoliating treatments and masques – unless you are using a hydrating masque, like our Green Tea Moisture Masque, which boosts the moisture level in your skin. An occasional facial, however, can help prepare your skin to better receive the benefits of your moisturizer. Dampen your skin very lightly with water before applying a moisturizer. This simple step can sometimes be effective in minimizing dryness that can cause sensitivity. Be aware of perfumes and fragrances. Studies have found that perfumes can often be the cause of allergic reactions. Pay attention to detergents used to launder your sheets, pillowcases, towel, and lingerie. Fragrance-free detergents can help prevent sensitivity. Use sunblock regularly to protect skin from incidental and extended sun exposure. Try Walkabout Sunblock Moisturizer SPF #25 with UVA and UVB protection. Protect your skin after laser treatments, peels, cosmetic surgery, Retin-A, even alpha hydroxy acids by using hydrating products with antioxidants. Never over-scrub. Use sun protection every day – even in winter. Try Imbue Antioxidant Moisturizer. Shower or rinse soon after perspiring. Many people are sensitive to their own perspiration. Try CitrusFresh Drops. Choose skin care with naturally soothing ingredients such as chamomile, oats, grape seed, aloe vera, green tea, rose extract, or allantoin to calm over-stimulated nerve endings that initiate skin irritation. Try Imbue Milky Cleanser, Imbue Toner, and Imbue Antioxidant Moisturizer. Relax! Stress is a leading cause of sensitive, dry, imbalanced skin. An aromatic bath delights the senses while it calms, comforts, and beautifies the body and mind. Try CitrusFresh Drops or our Signature Collection Citrus Blend Bath & Shower Gel for bath, and Botanical Body Oil, Botanical Body Moisturizer, or our Signature Collection Citrus Blend Body Lotion after bath.
