What Is Sensitive Skin?
Sensitive skin is often characterised by redness, irritation, itching and a heightened reaction to products or environmental triggers.
In more reactive skin types, the body can over-respond to certain triggers, leading to inflammation and visible skin changes.
For these skin types, reducing irritation and supporting the skin barrier is key.
Common Triggers for Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin can be triggered or worsened by a range of internal and external factors.
These may include:
- Skincare products that disrupt the skin barrier
- Overuse of exfoliants or active ingredients
- Stress, hormonal changes or medication
- Environmental factors and lifestyle habits
Identifying and reducing triggers is an important first step in calming the skin.
Understanding the Bigger Picture
Skin sensitivity is not always just a surface-level concern.
In many cases, it can be linked to underlying factors such as inflammation, immune response or overall skin barrier health. This is why a more holistic approach is often needed for long-term improvement.
The Role of Internal Health
Skin health is closely connected to what’s happening inside the body.
Factors such as stress, digestion and overall wellbeing can influence how reactive your skin becomes. Supporting your body internally can play a key role in improving skin sensitivity over time.
Why a Gentle Approach Matters
When skin is sensitive, simplifying your routine is essential.
Using too many products or introducing strong actives too quickly can increase irritation. A slower, more considered approach helps the skin recover and rebuild resilience.
Why Protection Is Essential
Daily sun protection is especially important for sensitive skin.
UV exposure can increase inflammation and worsen redness, making the skin more reactive over time. Consistent protection helps maintain a calmer, more balanced complexion.
When to Seek Professional Advice
If your skin is persistently inflamed, uncomfortable or worsening, it may be linked to a condition such as eczema, rosacea or dermatitis.
In these cases, it’s important to seek advice from a healthcare professional for tailored support.
