Things about sensitive skin!

Sensitive skin, also known as allergic skin, is an unstable skin. In recent years, more and more people have been troubled by sensitive skin. Epidemiological studies have shown that the prevalence of sensitive skin in women is 60%~70%, and in men it is 50%~60%.

Main features:

1. The skin looks thinner and is prone to allergies, with obvious red blood on the face.

2. The skin is prone to redness. Generally, the skin is prone to redness and fever when the temperature changes too cold or too hot.

3. It is easily stimulated by environmental factors (contact sensitive skin, red sensitive skin, pressure sensitive skin), seasonal changes and facial care products. It is usually attributed to genetic factors, but more often it is due to the use of hormone cosmetics that lead to sensitive skin, and may be accompanied by skin sensitivity throughout the body.

Causes of allergies:

1. Damage to skin cells reduces the skin's immunity, thinning the stratum corneum, and causing insufficient skin moisture, which ultimately leads to the skin's barrier function being too weak to resist external stimuli. In addition, the skin's nerve fibers are often stimulated by external stimuli and are too excited, which makes it easy to produce redness, fever, itching, tingling, rashes and other discomforts. This type is usually caused by the skin coming into contact with hormones.

2. Sensitive skin caused by genetic factors.

How to care for sensitive skin?

1. Stay away from allergens. Because allergic symptoms will always exist and cannot be cured, you can only be careful at all times to avoid contact with allergens that may cause allergies.

2. Do a good job of basic moisturizing and hydrating. Usually, you should use warm water to wash your skin. Remove makeup thoroughly after each makeup. Try to choose weakly acidic cleansing products when washing your face. Products such as scrubs and exfoliants should be kept away. Use a simple cleansing and moisturizing procedure.

3. Use cosmetics with caution. For people with sensitive skin, it is best not to change the cosmetics you are used to. If you want to use new cosmetics, you should do a skin test first. The method is to apply the cosmetics to the delicate skin on the inside of the wrist, leave it for one night or 2-3 days to observe its reaction. If there is an abnormal reaction, such as inflammation, redness, and rashes, you must avoid using the cosmetics.

4. People with "sensitive" skin should try to reduce going out in areas where pollen flies in spring to avoid causing pollen dermatitis.

5. In terms of diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and have a balanced diet.

6. Get enough sleep and exercise properly to enhance skin resistance.
