Managing Sensitive Skin

“I can’t use that, it might cause a reaction” Does this sound familiar? Sensitive skin can lead to redness, dryness and frequent skin irritation. Proper diagnosis of sensitive skin is the first step in finding a solution. This can be done via a dermatologist or esthetician. If you do have sensitive skin, its important to find products that work to improve and maintain the health of your skin.

MACRO B COMPLEX® This ground-breaking technology begins with oat beta glucan, a powerful botanical element found in the cell wall of an oat. Through BREVENA’s proprietary purification process, oat beta glucan is transformed into the healing powerhouse known as, Macro B Complex®. Trusted by doctors and plastic surgeons for over 20 years to successfully treat traumatized skin in burn centers nationwide, the unique, cellular friendly properties of Macro B Complex have proven to accelerate the healing process of the most damaged skin making it the ideal ingredient to calm sensitive skin, replenish severely dry skin, and soothe irritation while protecting skin from future damage and environmental age accelerators.
For those with the most sensitive skin, I always suggest BREVENA. The Macro B Complex does a fantastic job of soothing and hydrating.

5 Tips for Sensitive Skin

1) A patch test is a great way to find products that work with your skin. Testing on a small spot on the back of your neck is discreet and will tell you if the product is a go.

2) Simple is best. The fewer ingredients the better. Skip ingredients like added fragrances and dyes.

3) Hydrate, Hydrate Hydrate. Sensitive skin is often aggravated by a weakened skin barrier. By using a moisturizer night and day, you will help maintain a healthy skin barrier and lock in moisture essential for healthy skin.

4) Look for calming ingredients like aloe and oats to soothe and replenish the skin. BREVENA products are formulated the oat-based Macro B Complex® to soothe and work with your body to hydrate, heal, and replenish.

5) Don’t forget the SPF. BREVENA products do not contain SPF, because we want you to select a product that works with your skin. Mineral or chemical, powder, gel or lotion, find one that passes your approval, and layer over your favorite BREVENA moisturizer.
