Sensitive Skin

If you notice stinging, burning, itching, or redness while using certain products, or ingredients, you could have sensitive skin. Fair skin types, with lighter hair and eyes, tend to be more prone to sensitivity than darker skin types. Skin that is easily flushed may also suggest sensitive skin.

Some causes of skin sensitivity include genetics; skin conditions such as rosacea, dermatitis, or eczema; or exposure of skin to harsh conditions like extreme cold, heat, or wind.

People often misdiagnose themselves as having sensitive skin, when, in reality, they are simply using the wrong products for their skin type. It is best to use products without fragrance, soap, or dyes. It is also important to replenish the skin with a proper amount of moisture.
