It can also appear sore and may flare when exposed to extreme temperatures or use different types of products. This is commonly a consequence of disruption to the skin barrier leading to fragile and weakened skin.
Here at Oatlands Aesthetics, we understand what triggers sensitive skin, so we offer products and treatments with ingredients that are clinically proven to reduce irritation and ease sensitivity whilst strengthening the skin’s barrier, enabling it to be more resilient to stressors in the future.
Some people are naturally predisposed to sensitive skin, while others may suffer from an inflammatory condition such as psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea or eczema that makes it sensitive. For some, the skin can become sensitised through overuse of ingredients known to strip the skin and damage the skin’s barrier, such as alcohol, artificial fragrances and harsh cleansers that leave your skin feeling stripped and ‘squeaky clean’.
Sensitive skin is often a consequence of impaired skin barrier function when the fine balance of essential lipids, hydration, and peptides is disturbed. Age and hormonal changes associated with menopause can worsen sensitive skin, particularly as it becomes thinner and less resilient when collagen levels decline.
