Sensitive skin
Sensitive and reactive skin.
Usually it’s a genetic trait that results in a poor skin barrier. It allows the penetrations of allergens and irritants.
The nasty reactions include redness, inflammation, dryness, burning, itching and even breakdowns. Sensitive skin can be difficult to treat. It is naturally thin, and blood vessels are found near the surface. Sensitive skin is always dehydrated and prone to breakouts.
How to Take care of Sensitive Skin?
You can start with a basic routine
A basic cleanser
A basic moisturiser
A basic sunscreen
Basic cleanser means with no active ingredients. Exception made by the ones with prone to breakouts, acne breakouts, with a lots of blackheads etc, otherwise you don’t really need a cleanser with active ingredients.
