What is Sensitive Skin?

Sensitive skin is more reactive to external and internal factors, often leading to discomfort, redness, or irritation. This heightened sensitivity can stem from a compromised skin barrier, genetic predisposition, or environmental aggressors.

A targeted skincare ritual can help soothe and support the skin over time.

Sensitivity:

Signs + Symptoms

Sensitive skin may present as redness, dryness, tightness, or a stinging sensation after product application. External factors such as weather changes, harsh ingredients, or pollution can heighten these symptoms. Identifying these triggers is key to maintaining skin harmony.

Redness
Plus
Minus

Persistent redness is a defining characteristic of sensitivity, creating a flushed appearance that can be heightened by environmental stressors, harsh ingredients, or allergies.

Itching + Burning
Plus
Minus

Sensitivity often brings an uncomfortable sensation of itching or burning. While relief may feel urgent, scratching only further compromises the skin’s integrity, leading to increased irritation.

Dryness + Tightness
Plus
Minus

A weakened barrier leaves skin feeling tight, dry, and fragile. Gentle, lipid-rich formulations are essential to replenish hydration, restore comfort, and strengthen resilience.

Understanding

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin requires a delicate balance of nourishment and protection. Easily reactive to environmental stressors, it benefits from gentle, restorative ingredients that support the skin barrier while maintaining hydration.

Understanding the unique needs of sensitive skin allows for a targeted approach to care, ensuring a calm, resilient, and visibly radiant complexion.
