Sensitive Skin Care: Simple Steps to Calm and Protect

What is Sensitive Skin?

Sensitive skin isn’t a medical diagnosis - it’s a skin condition where your skin reacts more easily and strongly to external or internal triggers. This could mean redness after using certain products, stinging sensations in cold weather, or rashes from harsh fabrics. For many in India, pollution, heat, and even hard water can make this sensitivity worse.

What Does Sensitive Skin Look Like?

Sensitive or reactive skin can show:

• Persistent or occasional redness

• Burning or stinging after applying skincare or makeup

• Itchiness or dryness in specific areas

• Tiny bumps or rashes that appear after exposure to triggers

• Flare-ups around the nose, cheeks, chin, or forehead

What Causes Sensitive Skin?

Several factors contribute to reactive skin, especially in Indian conditions:

1. Weakened skin barrier - Makes the skin less able to lock in moisture and block irritants.

2. Environmental triggers - Heat, humidity, and air pollution.

3. Harsh skincare products - Soaps, alcohol-based toners, strong exfoliants.

4. Underlying skin conditions – Eczema, rosacea, or dermatitis.

5. Lifestyle stressors – Lack of sleep, poor diet, and high stress can increase reactivity.
