The manifestations of sensitive skin are among those that cause the most discomfort in daily life. Here's how to recognize them, treat them and take care of yourself.
The SKINIUS lines aim to take care of the most sensitive skin. This mission comes from the heart of the founder and biologist Mariagrazia Boniardi who has always lived with reactive and delicate skin.
For this reason, SKINIUS dermocosmetic products are designed for the dermatological patient in terms of efficacy, tolerability and functionality.
The available formulations - able to respond to all needs, at any time of the year and in every phase of life - are therefore also suitable for the most sensitive skin (37 tests carried out on 990 volunteers) because they act in accordance with the physiological rhythms of the skin tissue thanks to functional active ingredients.
How to recognize sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is characterized by the presence of a weak hydrolipidic film and an exaggerated reactivity to external or internal stimuli . Sensation of skin that tightens, redness and itching are just some of the first signs of a more delicate skin.
Sensitive skin can be caused by various internal factors that bother the skin, regardless of age and skin type. It is not excluded that sensitive skin is present from birth or can appear in adulthood.
What causes sensitive skin?
The causes of sensitive skin are not yet completely clear and can be multiple. Among the most frequent external causes that can determine the appearance of sensitive skin we find:
- temperature changes (cold and hot)
- wind and sun
- pollution
- skincare and dermocosmetics that are too aggressive or not suitable for your skin type
Among the internal factors that can instead determine a more reactive skin, the following may emerge:
- drug therapies
- hormonal changes
- moments of high stress
It is important, however, to rely on the experience of a dermatologist, the only one able to establish what may be the triggering factors of this excessive skin reactivity.
Facial cleanser for sensitive skin
In case of skin that is sensitive to touch, the first fundamental step is a correct cleansing of the face that involves delicate and hydrating textures .
It is often due to an overly aggressive or incorrect facial cleansing that the skin can become more vulnerable to internal and external stress.
