Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin manifests itself as a heightened reactivity to external and internal stimuli. It is characterized by redness, itching, a sensation of heat, tingling, or burning, and may present dryness and flaking. The skin barrier is weakened, making it more vulnerable to environmental factors, pollution, sudden changes in temperature, and unsuitable cosmetics.

Sensitive skin can be caused by genetics or acquired as a result of stress, intense beauty treatments, excessive sun exposure, or the use of harsh products. Cosmetic strategies should aim to strengthen the hydrolipidic barrier, soothe irritation, and restore the balance of the skin's microbiota, promoting more resistant, elastic, and comfortable skin.
