Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin is a common condition that can affect anyone at any stage of life. Understanding your skin needs and committing to a consistent skincare regimen can help sensitive skin look and feel its best.
Understanding Sensitive Skin
Common symptoms of sensitive skin include:
- Redness or rash
- Scaling
- Peeling skin
- Skin feels dry
- Itchiness, tightness
- Burning and stinging feeling
While sensitive skin is common at any age, many people experience it in their youth. Sensitive skin shares many of the same symptoms as dry skin, but treatment for sensitive skin is different from treatment for dry skin.
Skin has a protective barrier that protects it from dust, debris, harmful bacteria, and other harmful substances in the environment. When this protective barrier weakens, skin becomes susceptible external factors and risks losing water which can lead to dehydration.
The result of a weakened protective barrier on skin is sensitive skin. Internally, aging, hormonal imbalances, acne, dry skin, and allergies can all contributed to a weakened protective skin barrier. Externally, seasonal changes, weather fluctuations, overuse of soaps and detergents, and certain medical treatments like radiotherapy and medication can also be factors in weakening the skin’s protective barrier.
Popular Products for Sensitive Skin
Certain daily cleansers can strengthen skin’s natural barrier, allowing it to retain more moisture and repair itself faster. Individuals with sensitive skin might consider using products that contain lactic and glycolic acid, as these ingredients can help hydrate and protect the skin's barrier.

Diet can contribute to sensitive skin. Too much sugary food and excessive fried food may increase your skin’s sensitivity. Eat clean and your skin will shine!
