Sensitive skin is a skin type characterized by heightened reactivity to various environmental factors, products, and stimuli. People with sensitive skin often experience symptoms such as redness, itching, burning, dryness, and irritation. This can be triggered by factors like harsh skincare products, extreme weather conditions, pollution, fragrances, and certain ingredients in cosmetics. Managing sensitive skin typically involves using gentle, hypoallergenic products, avoiding known irritants, and maintaining a consistent skincare routine focused on hydration and protection.
