What is Sensitivity?
Sensitive skin is characterized by heightened reactivity to internal and external triggers. It may feel uncomfortable, sting, burn, or become red when exposed to certain products, weather changes, or stress. Sensitive skin is often a sign of a compromised skin barrier, meaning the skin is less able to protect itself and retain moisture.
Anyone can have sensitive skin, whether it’s oily, dry, acne-prone, or aging, and it can be temporary or long-lasting. When the barrier is compromised, irritants get in more easily, causing redness, irritation, and discomfort.
Symptoms
- Redness or flushing
- Stinging, burning, or itching sensations
- Dryness or tightness
- Increased reactivity to skincare products
- Inflammation or irritation after treatments
- Breakouts triggered by stress or product changes
Causes
- Over-exfoliation or aggressive treatments
- Harsh or fragranced skincare products
- Environmental stressors such as cold, heat, sun, or pollution
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Stress and lack of sleep
- Compromised skin barrier or dehydration
