HERE ARE YOUR RESULTS
You may have sensitive skin
With sensitive skin, the outer layer tends to have a weakened barrier function, so it can be damaged more easily. Symptoms of atopic skin include redness, itching and dryness on the body and face. Skin can also flare up when you come into contact with dust, animal hair, pollution and certain fabrics like wool and synthetics.
There are many causes of sensitive skin: weather, diet, pollution or stress can play a part, as can reactions to certain skincare and cosmetic products. Protect sensitive skin by using dermatologically tested products like shower gel, shower cream, antiperspirant or deodorant that soothe irritations, repair the skin barrier and gently nourish your skin on a daily basis.
Facts about Sensitive Skin
Fact 1
Sensitive skin can affect all areas of the body, although it most commonly flares up around the elbows, hands, knees, and cheeks.
Fact 2
People who suffer from any skin sensitivity usually have periods where they won't show any symptoms. However, it's important to seek advice from a dermatologist if symptoms become worse to find out how to properly care for it.
Fact 3
Sensitive skin reactions can be a result of your immune system going into overdrive from a perceived threat. This is often the case with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
Fact 4
When the skin begins to feel sensitive, it's a sign that your skin barrier has been weakened by external factors like climate or pollution, or internal changes like stress or fatigue. You can usually feel it before you can see it.
