Sensitive skin:
understand and react
Sensitive skin is characterized by more frequent skin reactions to everyday stimuli.
Discomfort, sensations of pulling, faster reactions: understanding these signals allows for more appropriate actions and care.
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is characterized by increased reactivity to factors that are usually well tolerated by other skin types.
It is not a pathology, but a state of skin sensitivity that can be constant or fluctuating, depending on the period and the environment.
Sensitive skin requires specifically adapted care, formulated to be well tolerated.
Sensitive skin or a one-off reaction: how to tell the difference?
A one-off reaction may occur after:
- a product change,
- an unusual climatic exposure,
- an inappropriate gesture.
Sensitive skin, on the other hand, exhibits a more regular reactivity , even in the absence of any obvious change in routine.
In case of frequent or persistent reactions, it is best to adopt a routine dedicated to sensitive skin.
Common signs of sensitive skin
Sensitive skin can manifest itself through:
- sensations of discomfort ,
- skin that reacts more easily,
- tensions,
- a feeling of less comfortable skin on a daily basis.
These signs can appear on all skin types.
Factors that can worsen skin sensitivity
Several everyday factors can increase skin sensitivity, including:
- stress ,
- climate variations ,
- the use of unsuitable cosmetics ,
- over-cleansing or excessive exfoliation,
- repeated friction (shaving, masks, forceful movements).
Reducing these factors helps to limit skin reactions.
