Skin that easily flushes or looks red is considered sensitive.
Your skin may look red, or be itchy, dry, crusty or burning, because it is inflamed, easily irritated and reactive: sensitive to environmental conditions such as wind, temperature, sun and pollutants; easily irritated by products; prone to allergies.
Or
It may look flushed and inflamed across the nose and cheeks, because dilated capillaries are showing through your skin.
Either way, it is important to see a dermatologist to rule out chronic sensitive skin disorders, such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or allergies.
Sensitive skin is found across ethnic groups, although it is usually associated with fair skin; and it may occur in different types of skin: combination, oily, dry, aging.
Skincare Goal:
Calm the Sensitivity
Create a daily routine with products specially formulated for sensitive skins.
Rinse well after cleansing to remove all traces of any irritants, but not enough to dry skin.
Avoid exfoliating if the skin is too sensitive.
Repair and build cells.
High quality, broad-spectrum sun protection.
Anti-Aging
Aging results in fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, discoloration, sagging, enlarged and clogged pores, and visible capillaries.
The main causes of loss of elasticity and wrinkles are pulling of the muscles, collagen breakdown and loss of fat.
The sun is the most significant external contributor to the breakdown of collagen, free-radical deterioration of tissues, discoloration, and visible capillaries from thinning skin. The loss of elasticity contributes to enlarged pores, along with a build up of dead skin cells, oil and other debris, such as makeup.
Protect yourself from the sun, repair free-radical cell damage with new skincare ingredients.
