What Exactly Is Sensitive Skin?
Sensitive skin is not a clinical diagnosis but rather a symptom of an underlying issue like eczema, rosacea, or an allergic reaction. It’s a term we use when your skin reacts strongly to environmental factors or skincare products that wouldn’t bother most people.
Some Common Causes of Sensitive Skin:
- Harsh skincare products with alcohol or fragrances
- Extreme weather changes (hot, cold, dry, or humid)
- Underlying skin conditions like eczema or rosacea
- Over-exfoliation or misuse of active ingredients
- Poor barrier function, leading to increased skin permeability
How to Manage Sensitive Skin – Doctor-Recommended Tips:
- Simplify your skincare routine: Stick to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers.
- Use sunscreen daily: Opt for physical (mineral) sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
- Avoid alcohol and parabens: These ingredients can further irritate your skin.
- Hydrate deeply: A good ceramide-based moisturizer can repair your skin barrier.
- Consult a dermatologist: At Skinnfit Medspa, we offer personalized skincare plans to manage sensitivity and prevent flare-ups.
