Solution for Sensitive and Red Skin

If you have sensitive skin, you are already aware of the wide variety of factors that can affect it – from a change of weather, to environmental factors, to ingredients and products. You are also aware of the symptoms: redness, scaliness, swelling, irritation or skin cracks. The good news is that – while itchy, painful and annoying – sensitive skin is not a diagnosis of “disease.”  In fact, it is usually a symptom of an imbalanced skin.

Three factors often play a large role in sensitive skin:

• A disturbed barrier function – the corneal layer becomes porous.

• Inflammation of the skin, due to the environment, diet or other health issues.

• Dehydration of the skin.

Causes and Triggers of Sensitive/Red Skin:

• Genetics
• Age due to decreased oil production
• Increased pH level as ceramide producing enzymes are weakened in their function
• Hormonal imbalances
• Excessive cleansing attacks the barrier lipids
• The use of cosmetics not meant for sensitive skin can irritate it
• Air pollution weakens the skin‘s protective barrier
• Too much exposure to UV rays dries out the skin
• Psychological factors (Stress, Depression) interrupt the natural balance
• AND – yes – dehydration! Lack of water in the skin.
