SENSITIVE SKIN

If you are experiencing redness, but also other symptoms, such as spots, visible blood vessels and dry and thickened skin, you could be suffering from a skin condition called

Rosacea. Rosacea affects more women than men, typically in their 30s to 50s; however

symptoms can begin to show from early 20s. It is primarily seen on the nose, cheeks,

forehead and chin, as well as the neck and chest and is often mistaken for acne, eczema or

some other skin allergy. Left untreated, symptoms will worsen, so early action is

advised. Studies prove that almost one out of two women have to deal with sensitive skin.

This is not only generically-related; sudden irritation or redness is also occurring with

increasing frequency in healthy skin, leading to weakening of the natural hydrolipidic barrier

in the long term.

What Causes Sensitive Skin?

Common symptoms of facial redness include:

• Irritated and dry eyes

• Flushed face

• Sensitive skin

• Burning skin

• Breakouts similar to acne, and small red bumps or pimples

• Appearance of red broken blood vessels

  
  

Most suffers report flare-ups, with symptoms worsening and reoccurring over time. The

causes of sensitive skin are diverse –

• Temperature fluctuations

• Climatic conditions

• Increasingly mental stress

• Contact with irritating substances

• Extremely spicy food or an unhealthy diet

  
  

The skin’s natural protective function is limited and exposed to these diverse irritants. As a

result, the skin becomes sensitised or even damaged in the long-term.

Many people with sensitive skin believe that this is caused by an allergy. When the skin

reacts severely to environmental influence and stress situations, however, it is often the

hydrolipidic barrier which is damaged.

Irritating substances are able to penetrate much easily

and evoke reactions as a result of this. The skin’s ability to store moisture is also reduced.

Depending on irritant potential, the skin’s condition may change at short notice within a

matter of hours or days irrespective of your age or skin type.
