Sensitive skin is a common skin condition where the skin is more reactive to the environment and to skincare products.
It may present redness, itchiness, rough texture, swelling, burning, peeling or stinging and it may be your entire face or just some areas of the skin.
Sensitive skin is caused by a breakdown of the skin’s protective barrier, an issue that may be caused by excessive dehydration, environmental factors or illness. It is very treatable and over time skin can become less sensitive.
The key to reducing sensitivity is building up the strength and resilience of the skin’s natural barrier.
