Sensitive skin type is described as skin with reduced tolerance after the application of skin care products. It presents in a wide variety of ways; stinging, itching, burning, redness, peeling, hives, Four subsets of sensitive skin: acne, rosacea, stinging, allergic.

• Acne sensitive skin has pimples, clogged pores and cycts.

• Rosacea occurs when blood vessels dilate and lose their ability to shrink back, skin looks pink/red and has the sensation of warmth and facial flushing. 

• Stinging skin hurts when you put anything on it. This is caused by sensory receptors in the skin reacting to what it has come into contact with.

• Allergic skin reacts when exposed to an allergen.

All of the above leads to irritated (aka: sensitive) skin,  a result of a disrupted skin barrier which allows irritating substances into the skin. However, all hope is not lost! Utilizing products with anti-inflammatory properties as well as soothing and calming ingredients is a great start to calming sensitive skin. In addition incorporating products that help to rebuild the skin barrier is a great way to help sensitive skin be less sensitive.*as well as products that help to rebuild the skin barrier.**
