More Information

Sensitive skin is a skin type that is prone to irritation, itching, redness,
and inflammation. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, environmental stressors, and the use of certain skincare products. People with sensitive skin often have a weakened skin barrier, which makes it more vulnerable to external factors.

Symptoms

Redness: Sensitive skin can become red or flushed easily, especially in response to environmental factors like wind or sun exposure.

Dryness: Sensitive skin can also be dry and flaky, which can further exacerbate redness and inflammation.

Itching: Sensitive skin can be itchy and uncomfortable, especially if it is dry or irritated.

Burning or stinging: Some people with sensitive skin may experience a burning or stinging sensation when using certain skincare products or being exposed to environmental factors like wind or sun.

Rashes or hives: Sensitive
skin can develop rashes or hives in response to irritants or allergens.

Treatment

Managing sensitive skin involves using gentle, fragrance-free skincare
products, avoiding harsh chemicals or irritants, and protecting the skin from
environmental stressors like sun exposure and wind. It's also important to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support overall skin health.

If you have persistent or severe symptoms of sensitive skin, it's best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
