SENSITIVE SKIN


 Sensitive skin is a skin condition where the skin is more reactive and easily irritated compared to normal skin. People with sensitive skin often experience the following symptoms:

- Redness or flushing

- Stinging, burning, or itching sensations

- Tightness or dryness

- Increased sensitivity to skincare products, fragrances, soaps, and environmental factors like wind, sun, or cold.


People with sensitive skin need to be very selective with the products they use and limit exposure to potential irritants. Gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers are usually recommended. Avoiding exfoliants, hot water, and certain ingredients like alcohol, fragrances, and dyes can also help manage sensitive skin. Consulting a dermatologist can help identify triggers and develop an appropriate skincare routine.
