Skin Sensitivity & Irritation

Skin sensitivity and irritation occur when the skin overreacts to environmental or internal triggers, leading to redness, itching, burning, or dryness. Sensitive skin often has a weakened protective barrier, making it more prone to irritation from weather changes, harsh skincare products, allergens, or pollutants. People with sensitive skin may experience discomfort from even mild irritants, requiring gentle care and specialized treatments. At our clinic, we provide calming and restorative therapies designed to strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and enhance resilience against future reactions.

Causes of Skin Sensitivity & Irritation

  • Harsh Skincare Products – Strong chemicals, fragrances, and exfoliants can trigger irritation
  • Weather Conditions – Extreme temperatures, wind, and humidity changes can dry and sensitize the skin
  • Pollution & Environmental Toxins – Airborne pollutants can weaken the skin barrier
  • Over-Exfoliation – Excessive scrubbing or using strong acids can strip the skin’s natural barrier
  • Sun Exposure – UV rays can inflame and worsen skin sensitivity
  • Underlying Skin Conditions – Eczema, rosacea, and dermatitis increase skin reactivity

FAQs

1. How do I know if I have sensitive skin?

If your skin frequently reacts to products, weather, or environmental factors with redness, burning, or tightness, it may be sensitive.

2. What is the best way to care for sensitive skin?

Use gentle, fragrance-free skincare products, avoid harsh exfoliants, and always wear sunscreen.

3. Can sensitive skin become less reactive over time?

Yes, with proper skincare and barrier-strengthening treatments, sensitivity can be reduced.

4. What treatments help soothe irritated skin?

Hydrating facials, anti-inflammatory serums, and barrier-repair therapies can help restore balance.

5. Should I avoid exfoliation if I have sensitive skin?

Not necessarily, but opt for mild exfoliants like enzyme-based or lactic acid treatments instead of strong chemical peels.
