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.
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 dermo-cosmetic products are designed for dermatological patients in terms of efficacy, tolerability, and functionality.
The available formulations - able to meet all needs, at any time of the year and at every stage 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. A feeling of tight skin, redness, and itching are just some of the first manifestations of 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 can be present from birth or appear in adulthood.
What are the causes of sensitive skin
The causes of sensitive skin are not yet entirely clear and can be multiple. Among the most frequent external causes that can lead to the appearance of sensitive skin are:
- temperature changes (cold and heat)
- wind and sun
- pollution
- skincare and dermo-cosmetics that are too aggressive or not suitable for one's skin type
Among the internal factors that can, however, determine more reactive skin, the following can emerge:
- drug therapies
- hormonal fluctuations
- moments of high stress
It is always important to rely on the experience of a dermatologist, who is the only one able to determine the triggers for this excessive skin reactivity.
Facial cleanser for sensitive skin
In the case of sensitive skin to the touch, the first fundamental step is correct facial cleansing, which involves delicate and hydrating textures.
Often, it is precisely because of overly aggressive or incorrect facial cleansing that the skin can become more vulnerable to internal and external stresses.
