How to identify sensitive skin and take care of it?
Did you know? One in two women report experiencing symptoms of sensitive or reactive skin: tingling, burning, redness, or tightness.
Key Takeaways
- Sensitive skin is a skin condition, not a skin type, often characterized by redness, irritation, tightness, and discomfort.
- Environmental aggressors, stress, climate changes, and skincare products are among the most common triggers of sensitive skin.
- A gentle skincare routine with soothing, hydrating, and barrier-supporting ingredients helps comfort sensitive skin and reduce visible signs of irritation.
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is not really a skin type, but rather a skin condition. Sensitive skin is characterised by redness, inflammation or feelings of discomfort.
The causes of this sensitivity are multiple and variable, but are often linked to environmental factors: stress, UV rays, pollution, cold, use of aggressive cosmetics, which make the skin's barrier fragile.
How to take care of sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin requires a special beauty ritual and adapted products that are not aggressive to the skin.
In the morning, it is essential to cleanse the skin and then apply soothing and moisturising products to protect it throughout the day. In the evening, the skin should be cleansed with a cleanser, then moisturised with a suitable care product.
