Sensitive skin is a very common skin condition characterised by a heightened reaction to certain environmental triggers or skincare products.
Individuals with sensitive skin may experience symptoms such as redness, irritation, itching or a stinging sensation when exposed to factors like harsh chemicals, fragrances, extreme temperatures or even certain fabrics.
Sensitive skin can be influenced by genetic factors, environmental factors or other underlying skin conditions. It requires gentle and non irritating home care products and treatments to assist in rebuilding a healthy barrier which will mean a healthier skin with less reactions.
If you have sensitive skin, it's important that you consult with a professional to have a skin care routine tailored to your specific concerns.
What causes sensitive skin?
There can be many causes, including stress, genetic dispositions, allergies and environmental factors and over exfoliation and use of harsh products.All of these causes can lead to what is known as an impaired barrier. This is where the outer layers of the skin are not providing a strong and healthy outer barrier to protect the skin from the triggers that can make it sensitised.
How do you make sensitive skin less reactive?
The first step is to understand what is causing the sensitivity in the first place and to combine a combination of treatments and home prescriptives to be used everyday to im,prove the skin over time. This can be seen in as little as a week, whereas some clients' conditions may take 6 months. Every skin is different, so is the customised skin care program we provide you.
