Sensitive skin may appear suddenly and require a bit of work to target, but with a little TLC and the right products and ingredients, you can easily reduce redness and irritation, and restore skin to its calm and healthy self.
Sensitive skin is actually a skin concern, not a skin type, which means that everyone and anyone can experience it. That’s right, even if you identify with having a skin type such as dry or oily, your skin may still be sensitive from time to time. You’ll know your skin is sensitive when you experience symptoms like redness, itchness, bumpy texture, and irritation or burning when applying products. Sensitive skin is incredibly uncomfortable and can be triggered by things like cold weather, over-exfoliation, layering too many active ingredients, and even stress. The best products for sensitive skin will be gentle and calming, working to reduce sensitivity, repair damage, and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier. If you experience a flare-up then you’ll need to strip your skincare back to the basics and focus on using soothing, repairing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal, squalane, and prebiotics.
