If you have sensitized skin, or are prone to rosacea, you may have had an issue with inflammation or irritation triggered by a skin care product that was recommended as suitable for your skin type. When it comes to rosacea and sensitized skin, its very important to understand the reasons some products cause irritation, and what to look for in your products. Since inflammation is a root cause of premature aging, we want to do everything we can to keep skin calm and happy.
Benir products are formulated in a way that delivers beneficial, and soothing ingredients into the skin, while avoiding ingredients that cause rosacea flare ups, dryness or inflammation.
Sensitized skin? here's a few things to consider:
Limiting essential oils.
The problem with many essential oils is they are proven to sensitize and irritate the skin. If you are experiencing patches of redness, inflammation, or itchiness, we would recommend reducing exposure to essential oils. Some essential oils such as Lavender have actually been shown to degrade fibroblasts (those amazing collagen producing cells) which could actually accelerate the appearance of aging. Benir Beauty products contain only total extracts (such as our green tea & jasmine) which preserves the benefit of the original compound and won't irritate skin.
"That tingling means it's working."
If your product "tingles" on your skin, it may actually be causing more harm than good. Masks in particular may contain menthol, peppermint, cinnamon, pine, cedar or eucalyptus, to name a few. With rosacea and sensitivities, it's very important to avoid compounds that encourage inflammation if we want to keep skin looking gorgeous. You don't have to feel anything dramatic for a product to actually be delivering benefits to your skin. Gentle is always better with sensitized skin.
Do you really need perfume in your skin care?
Synthetic fragrances may be any number of chemical combinations. If you have rosacea or sensitivities, perfumes and fragrance will only encourage inflammation. Benir products smell wonderful, due to the natural scent of our total extracts which are non-sensitizing.

*Lavender) (shown to be toxic to cells- School of Biosciences, University of Westminster, London, UK)/ As linalool and linalyl acetate are both rapidly absorbed by skin and can be detected within blood cells in less than 20 minutes, endothelial cells are an ideal choice for such a test. [2] The results of this research also demonstrated that lavender has a damaging effect on fibroblasts, which are cells that produce collagen.
