Sensitive Skin

What is it?

Sensitive skin on the body can manifest in various ways, including redness, itching, irritation, or a tight sensation. This skin type tends to react more strongly to external factors, such as temperature changes, clothing materials, or certain skincare products. While not a serious condition, sensitive skin can cause discomfort and disrupt the skin's natural balance.

Causes

The causes of sensitive skin vary from person to person. For some, it’s genetic, while for others, external factors like dry air, over-washing, harsh ingredients, or friction can trigger irritation. A damaged skin barrier plays a crucial role; when the barrier is compromised, the skin becomes more vulnerable to external influences like allergens and bacteria, leading to inflammation or a burning sensation.

Tips

Sensitive skin requires gentle and thoughtful care to reduce irritation and restore the skin barrier. Here are some tips:

  • Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser that doesn’t dry out the skin.
  • Choose fragrance-free and paraben-free products specifically designed for sensitive skin.
  • Hydrate daily with a soothing lotion to strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Avoid using hot water when showering, as it can further dehydrate the skin.
  • Wear breathable fabrics to minimize friction on the skin.
  • Protect your skin from extreme cold or heat.
