Sensitive skin refers to a condition where the skin is more prone to reactions and irritation than normal. Individuals with sensitive skin often experience symptoms such as redness, itching, burning, or dryness, even in response to mild stimuli. The sensitivity can manifest as a reaction to environmental factors, such as harsh weather conditions, pollutants, or exposure to sun and wind. Causes of sensitive skin include genetic predisposition, which makes some individuals more susceptible to skin reactions, and underlying conditions like eczema or rosacea, which exacerbate skin sensitivity. Additionally, the use of certain skincare products containing allergens, irritants, or harsh chemicals can trigger sensitivity. Skin that is compromised due to excessive dryness or damage from over-exfoliation or aggressive treatments can also become more sensitive. Treatment for sensitive skin focuses on identifying and avoiding triggers and maintaining a gentle skincare routine. Using hypoallergenic and fragrance-free skincare products can help minimize irritation. Products with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera, chamomile, or hyaluronic acid are often beneficial. Incorporating a moisturizing regimen to keep the skin hydrated and protect its barrier function is essential. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and applying sunscreen with physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide can prevent further irritation. For those with underlying skin conditions, appropriate treatments for conditions like eczema or rosacea, such as topical corticosteroids or other prescribed medications, are necessary. Adopting a mild cleansing routine, avoiding hot water, and reducing the use of potentially irritating products can also alleviate symptoms. If sensitivity persists or worsens, consulting a dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan and to rule out other skin conditions is recommended.
