Sensitive skin is a skin type that reacts more easily to external factors like skincare products, weather changes, or environmental irritants. People with sensitive skin may experience symptoms such as:
- Redness or rash
- Itching or burning
- Dryness or tightness
- Stinging or irritation
Key Tips For Caring For Sensitive Skin
- Use hypoallergenic products: Free of fragrances, alcohols, parabens and dyes
- Patch test new products: Apply a small amount behind your ear before using it on your face to check for reactions
- Moisturize regularly: Keeping your skin barrier strong helps reduce sensitivity
- Use sunscreen daily: Sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide – less likely to cause irritation
