If you have sensitive skin, you probably already know it can be a challenge. Everything from sun and weather to cosmetics and pollution can cause the skin to react with irritation. Fortunately, there's a lot you can do to protect your skin from external influences.
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is characterized by being more delicate and reactive than normal skin. This means that the skin reacts more easily to external influences – anything from weather to pollution and cosmetics.
If you have sensitive skin, you may regularly experience symptoms such as redness, itching, dryness, and tightness. And if the skin is sensitive, there's also a greater risk of developing rashes or irritation upon contact with certain products or environmental factors.
Therefore, it is crucial that you choose skincare products with ingredients specifically formulated to protect and soothe sensitive skin.
