Sensitive facial skin [care, causes and signs of hypersensitivity]

Sensitive skin has a second name – reactive. Such skin often turns red, irritated, tingling. There is only one rule that must be followed in order to achieve daily comfort – this is special attention and care.

How to understand sensitive skin or not?

Sensitive skin reacts sharply to a variety of influences. To determine the degree of sensitivity, you can answer the following questions:

  1. Does your skin often turn red in the cold?
  2. Do you have a feeling of heat and “blood” to the skin after drinking alcohol or spicy foods?
  3. Does peeling appear after visiting the pool?
  4. Do you have negative reactions of the skin of your hands to household chemicals?
  5. Do you feel a feeling of tightness after washing with water?

If you answered yes to most of the questions, you probably have really sensitive skin.

The main signs of high sensitivity

Sensitive skin is more prone to external factors and is characterized by an overreaction to them. Sensitivity is inherent in different skin types: dry, oily, problematic or dehydrated – any skin can be reactive.

It is characterized by:

  • redness;
  • tingling;
  • feeling of tightness;
  • itching;
  • and even burning.

Causes of skin hypersensitivity

The increased sensitivity of the skin of the face and body can be explained by several factors – both individual and their combination. Why does the skin become sensitive?

  • The reasons may be the features of the blood vessels. The fragile walls of blood vessels can suffer under the influence of external factors, for example, due to spicy food or drinking alcohol.
  • Wind, dryness, cold, sun or bad environment can cause tingling or burning.
  • Some substances that are poorly tolerated by the skin can also cause a reaction. For example, the skin may react to hard water.

Proper care for sensitive skin

For complete care, it is important to take several steps:

  1. For cleansing, use products that maintain the physiological balance of the epidermis.
  2. Look for products labeled “for sensitive skin”.
  3. Use a soothing toner as the first step in the morning to refresh your skin and as a make-up remover.
  4. Pay attention to thermal water with a high content of selenium.
