 As many as 80% of women complain about skin sensitivity, redness, inflammation and itchiness. There is no one cause, as everyone is an individual. Genetics, environmental exposure, misuse of products, stress, etc., all can be challenging to your skin. A good first step in treatment is to determine whether your skin “sensitive” or “sensitized.” Let’s explore the differences:



Sensitive Skin
 Sensitive skin tends to be more intrinsic (genetic) in nature. It is often associated with red, irritated, stinging skin that can react to the smallest changes, be it a cosmetic or a result of environmental changes. Environmental factors such as stress, fatigue, drugs, alcohol, sun exposure and pollution can cause additional aggravation to the skin. Don’t discount those internal aspects either, such as hormones and the natural aging of the skin. People who have more peaches and cream type skin also have more of a tendency towards redness due to the color of the skin and the fact that you can more easily notice the capillaries, especially in the cheek area. That’s those “red cheeks” we commonly hear about.
Sensitized Skin
 Hundreds of causes can be the culprit here. People with usually normal skin that suddenly becomes sensitive should look at both internal and external factors. Over-treating or improper handling of you skin can cause skin to be sensitized. Don’t over exfoliation the skin, stay away from harsh scrubs and cleansers, and watch out for heavily perfumed products, as these can all cause reactions. The goal here—be gentle.
 There is no common cause for sensitivity and it may not even be what you are using on your face that is causing the problem. Hair products, perfumes, nail polish, food allergies, even stress can be where the problem lies. It is best to look at all aspects of internal and external possibilities in your lifestyle. Eliminate those things you think might be the issue, adding one at a time back into your regimen. You can also be tested for allergies by your physician, should the reaction be highly irritating or on-going.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tips

 No matter if you have naturally sensitive skin, or have caused your skin to be sensitized by improper care and management, it is important to remember to avoid sun, harsh environmental changes and to keep your skin properly moisturized and protected with sunscreen to help avoid potential irritation. Be gentle and avoid harsh detergents or soaps. Eat right, get your sleep, minimize stress and supplement your diet, as these are key components, not only for your overall health, but your skin will appreciate the benefits, too
