What is sensitive skin?
The term sensitive skin is used to describe skin with reduced tolerance to cosmetics or personal care products. In surveys, about 50% of women and 40% of men may report having sensitive skin.
Dermatologists, when diagnosing this type of skin, pay attention to:
- Skin reactions such as blisters, skin bumps or skin erosion
- Dry skin
- Irritations or redness
Causes of sensitive skin
There are a number of scientifically recognized causes of sensitive skin, some of which are:
- Irritant contact dermatitis
- Allergic contact dermatitis
- Eczema / dermatitis of any kind
- Urticaria
- Rosacea
- Dry skin
What factors cause reactions in sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin can react to a variety of reactive agents. Factors include:
- Skin disorders or allergic reactions (eczema, rosacea, allergic dermatitis, etc.)
- Severely dry or injured skin, which does not have the ability to protect the nerve endings in the skin resulting in skin reactions
- Exposure to harmful environmental factors (sun, wind, extreme heat or cold)
- Genetic factors, as well as age and gender, can play a role in causing skin reactions.
What to avoid when you have sensitive skin?
- Hot showers or long baths
- Scented care products
- Granular exfoliating products
- Chemical exfoliation products
- Excessive sun exposure, without sun protection
- Hard cleaners or soaps
- Rough fabrics
