sensitive skin

Sensitive, red, irritated skin is a result of a compromised protective barrier. This barrier traditionally acts as a shield to keep out assaults. When skin has trouble defending itself against external aggressors, inflammation is triggered.

do you have sensitive or sensitised skin?

Two conditions that share the same result:

Sensitive - is genetic, common in those with fair or a thinner more delicate skin. People with sensitive skin also produce more histamine in the body resulting in hypersensitive skin.

Sensitised - is not genetic and can affect anyone of any age or skin type who is exposed to environmental assault.

Symptoms and triggers for both sensitive and sensitised skin can be experienced as itching, burning, dryness, flushing and stinging.
