Sensitive skin: a skin type beyond oily and dry skin

There are probably many people worried about sensitive skin..!

Today, we’ll cover related information once,

and next time, we’ll gather the related procedure information and look at everything overall!

What is sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin refers to a skin condition that goes beyond specific skin types (dry, oily, etc.).

It is a skin condition that reacts much more sensitively than normal skin to external stimuli or internal factors, causing various uncomfortable symptoms.

Visible symptoms such as redness or flaking may appear to the eye, but in many cases there is only subjective discomfort such as stinging, itching, or a burning sensation.

If the symptoms are severe and interfere with daily life, please consult a specialist to identify the exact cause!

Characteristics of sensitive skin

Frequent redness and breakouts: It easily turns red even with small刺激, and bumps may also appear.

Stinging, itching, burning: When using certain cosmetics or being exposed to external stimuli such as temperature changes or wind, it may sting or itch and feel hot.

Thin and weak skin barrier: The outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, is thin and damaged, so harmful external substances can easily penetrate and moisture evaporates easily. As a result, the skin may feel dry and tight.

Dilated capillaries: As the skin becomes thinner, capillaries are often visibly noticeable.

Sensitive reactions to cosmetics: When using cosmetics you normally use well or trying a new product, it may cause contact dermatitis or an allergic reaction.

Causes of sensitive skin

Of course, sensitive skin can also be influenced by genetics, but compared with other skin types, environmental factors often seem to play a larger role than genetic factors.

Damage to the stratum corneum, which is the skin’s protective barrier, due to improper cleansing habits (hot water, harsh scrubbing), excessive exfoliation, or use of unsuitable cosmetics

Stress, lack of sleep, irregular eating habits, hormonal changes

Atopic dermatitis, rosacea, eczema, etc.

It can also occur due to a variety of external factors.

How to care for sensitive skin

For sensitive skin, minimizing irritation and restoring the skin barrier is the most important thing!

Use mild products that do not irritate the skin, such as mildly acidic cleansers and low-irritation moisturizers.

Rather than using multiple steps of skincare products, it’s also good to reduce the burden on the skin by using only the products that are truly necessary! *Especially skin soothing

UV rays.. I’ll skip talking about that one...

Increase the skin’s resilience through enough sleep, stress management, and a balanced diet.
