Skincare Products For Sensitive Skin

Sheriya Beauty - Ireland & United kingdom

Sensitive skin refers to skin that is susceptible to inflammation and arises when the skin’s natural barrier weakens, and nerve endings become irritated. The skin’s barrier is responsible for shielding against pollutants and irritants. When damaged, toxic substances can trickle into the skin’s layers, causing unpleasant sensations and adverse reactions. Vital hydration is also able to escape through the impaired barrier, which may result in dry skin. While most people have at some point experienced an allergic reaction to cosmetics and other products, those who persistently suffer from adverse reactions are identified as having sensitive skin.

Common symptoms associated with sensitive skin include redness, dryness, flushing, itchiness, scaling, peeling and bumps. Proper skin care management, in addition to topical treatments, can severely improve sensitive skin issues. To repair and control sensitive skin, you should avoid products containing harsh chemicals, artificial and natural fragrances. Instead, focus on actively treating inflammation and strengthening the skin’s barrier using hypoallergenic products. This can be achieved by incorporating a sulphate-free cleanser, gentle exfoliator, calming mist and a light hydrating moisturiser into your daily skincare ritual.
