What to do if your skin is very sensitive

Most cases of skin sensitivity occur in people with dry or combination skin. This is because their stratum corneum is very thin and it is not easy for the face to secrete oil to protect the facial skin, so it is easy to get red and have red bloodshot. Especially in some allergic and dry seasons, the face is prone to itching. So what should we do about sensitive skin?

Sensitivity means that the skin is very fragile and cannot adapt to changes in the external environment. And there will be an uncomfortable feeling, which is an unhealthy skin type. According to beauty experts from Inxiangquan, sensitive skin mainly has the following characteristics:

Characteristics of sensitive skin are:

1. The skin epidermis is thin, delicate and fair, with less sebum secretion, relatively dry, obvious capillaries, and the skin shows signs of dryness and hypofunction. The ability of the stratum corneum to retain moisture is reduced, and the sebum film on the skin surface is not fully formed.

2. Contact with cosmetics or seasonal allergies can easily cause skin allergies, resulting in redness, swelling and itching. The skin lacks luster and the cheeks are prone to redness and swelling.

3. Due to seasonal changes, the skin tends to become unstable. The main symptoms are itching, burning, stinging, itchy skin and small rashes.

4. Easily affected by external environment or substances such as cold wind, food, water quality, ultraviolet rays, synthetic fibers, fragrance, pigments, etc.

5. Simply coming into contact with irritants can cause skin problems. Allergies may occur to sunlight, climate, water, plants (pollen), cosmetics, perfume, insect bites and high-protein foods.

Sensitive skin can be roughly divided into the following types:

A. Dry and sensitive skin

No matter what season it is, the skin is always dry and rough. Once you apply lotion, you will feel a slight tingling, itching, and sometimes redness and swelling. People with these symptoms have dry and sensitive skin. The cause of skin allergies is that the skin remains dry, which leads to a decrease in the defense function. Just remove excess sebum and moisturize the skin sufficiently.

B. Oily and sensitive skin

Acne and small particles are prone to appear on the face, which will become red, swollen and inflamed. Even dry areas such as the cheeks will develop acne. Experts from Inxiangquan say that people with these symptoms should have oily and sensitive skin. The cause of sensitivity is excessive sebum and insufficient moisture, which reduces the skin's protective function. Just remove excess sebum and moisturize sufficiently.

C. Pressure-sensitive skin

When seasons change and before menstruation, cosmetics and skin care products become inappropriate. If you don't get enough sleep or are under a lot of stress, your skin will become dry. People with these symptoms should have stress-sensitive skin. The reason lies in endocrine disorders caused by various external stimuli or hormonal imbalance.

D. Permanently sensitive skin

Such as allergic dermatitis or abnormal sensitivity sources such as sunlight, fragrances, pigments, etc. Specific irritants (allergens) cause allergic reactions. If you still follow your daily skin care methods, it will be very dangerous. It is best to go to a dermatologist clinic immediately and use the skin care products recommended by the doctor.

Skin allergy triggers

1. Cosmetics: inferior and spoiled cosmetics, highly irritating cosmetics and certain medicinal cosmetics.

2. Chemical products: mosquito coils, plastics, rubber, dyes, paints, flavors, alcohol, etc. Some people are even allergic to chemical fiber clothes. Some hair dyes, perm lotions, shampoos and hair care products can easily cause skin allergies in these people, and even cause corneal inflammation.

3. Drugs: such as sulfonamides, contraceptives, etc.

4. Food : such as fish, shrimp, milk, fruit, etc.

5. Other factors: Pollen, dust, animal hair, metal and clothing are often allergens for sensitive skin. Some people are allergic to cold, hot air, and ultraviolet rays.

The symptoms of allergic skin are very complicated, and it is not easy to explain them clearly. We ask you to start with skin diagnosis and treatment so that we can treat the symptoms and keep the allergy within your control.
