If your skin feels stinging even when you wash your face or turns red immediately when you change your cosmetics, you likely have sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is a condition that causes itchiness, stinging, and redness due to external stimuli.

Today, I'll be covering everything from the causes of sensitive skin, to its characteristics, how to manage it in daily life, and even treatments you can get from a dermatologist!

1. Causes of sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is said to be caused by a complex interaction of several factors. The causes of sensitive skin are as follows.

 

1) Damage to the skin barrier

Excessive exfoliation or excessive washing can weaken the skin barrier, making it more sensitive to external stimuli.

 

2) Breakdown of water-oil balance

It is also said that when moisture loss in the skin increases, it can become sensitive to dryness and irritation.

 

3) Environmental factors

Environmental factors such as fine dust or rapid temperature changes can also worsen symptoms.

 

4) Other factors

In addition to this, it is said that the skin can become overly sensitive to external stimuli due to various factors such as genetic factors or using cosmetics that do not suit the skin type.

2. Characteristics of sensitive skin

Sensitive skin can develop skin problems like eczema or inflammation if irritation worsens. Therefore, it's important to identify the characteristics of sensitive skin and take appropriate care of it.

 

1) The skin becomes red for no reason.

2) Even if you apply enough moisturizer, you still feel tight.

3) The skin reacts sensitively to temperature changes.

4) Skin troubles often occur depending on the cosmetics used.

5) Dead skin cells and breakouts occur easily.

6) When exposed to ultraviolet rays, excessive irritation is felt.

3. How to manage sensitive skin at home

As I mentioned earlier, proper skin care is paramount for sensitive skin. I'll share some sensitive skin care tips you can incorporate into your daily routine.

 

1) Gentle face washing

There are cases where excessive washing is done due to skin troubles, etc., and in such cases, the skin barrier is more likely to be weakened, so it is important to use a mild cleanser and wash your face gently.
