Do you describe your skin as intolerant, irritable, hypersensitive or reactive? Often wrongly categorised as their own sensitive skin type, these terms are misunderstood to be independent of each other. However, they are actually just varying intensities of one skin type: sensitive skin.

Here are some signs to look out for to identify if you have sensitive skin:

- Itchiness

- Temporary redness

- Tightness

- Burning and/or tingling sensations

A syndrome recognised in 2017, the Sensitive Skin Syndrome is defined by the appearance of unpleasant sensations in response to stimuli that do not normally cause such sensations, and which cannot be attributed to any skin disease.

Do you know more than 60%1 of the world's population has sensitive skin? As a fairly common problem that is slowly affecting more people than ever, there is a growing need to understand skin sensitivity in order to alleviate its symptoms.

Natural skin sensitivity is a permanent biological dysfunction, where nerve fibres become hyper-excited when exposed to stimuli that normally should not cause the skin to over-react. Hence, protection is needed to reduce chances of reactivity and in turn, preserve the skin’s health.

Healthy and normal skin can become sensitised skin should there be a lack of protection against external triggers.

In today's urban environment, your face is constantly exposed to irritants such as pollution, UV rays and more. These irritants produce free radicals and weaken the skin's protective barrier. As a result, more irritants penetrate the skin, further weakening the already compromised skin barrier.

The skin ultimately becomes sensitised and displays sensitive skin symptoms. Induced sensitivity may come and go depending on a person's lifestyle and environment, but it is becoming more common globally.

The origin of skin sensitivity can be natural, induced, or even both. In both cases, sensitive skin is out of balance and may not be able to defend itself. Hence, it is crucial to cover all bases to keep the skin healthy and well-defended against daily aggressions and irritants.

What triggers sensitive skin?

There exists a variety of sources, which can be split into two main groups - external and internal. These factors cause sensitive skin to react and display symptoms, leading to discomfort. Overexposure to, or a lack of protection from these triggers causes sensitive skin to be further sensitised in the long run.

 

Pollution
UV rays
Temperatures
Detergents
Hormones
Lifestyle factors and choices
Cosmetics and make-up
