5 SIGNS OF SKIN SENSITIVITIES?
Identifying the
5 Signs of Skin Sensitivities
Skin sensitivities can span a wide spectrum and may have different causes.
INTERNAL
Generic predisposition and hormones
ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS
Heat, cold, wind, pollutants
CLINICAL CONDITIONS
Rosacea, eczema, contact dermatitis
REACTIVE
Makeup, skincare, fragrance, food, jewellery, hot showers
Dry skin is a common indicator of skin sensitivity.
A weakened skin barrier creates an ineffective seal on the skin’s surface, leading to skin
dehydration. The right skincare products can help restore a healthy skin barrier.
Unpleasant sensations such as redness, itching, burning and stinging can be seen or felt. These could be a result of dry skin, eczema or even contact with allergens like harsh soaps, laundry detergents, makeup or pollution.
Irritation may make you want to scratch, however, scratching disrupts the skin barrier and promotes inflammations. Soothe your skin instead by using the right hypoallergenic skincare products for you.
Often occurring hand in hand with dryness, flaky, dull, patchy and uneven skin texture is another
visible sign of skin sensitivity. Such irregularities affect your overall skin quality, and may lead
to discomfort and distress.
Taut. Stretched. Strained. These sensations are often caused by using harsh products, particularly during cleansing, that strip away the skin’s natural protective oils.
It indicates that your skin lacks moisture and hydration, and may cause further discomfort if not properly cared for.
A weakened skin barrier allows irritants to penetrate and for moisture to be lost.
If you feel stinging or burning sensations when using particular skincare products, it means they are not suitable for your skin and/or you may have a damaged or fragile skin barrier.

1
Do you feel a stinging sensation after using skincare or makeup
products?
This may indicate either an allergy to the product, or
damaged
and sensitive skin that is prone to irritation.
2
After cleansing, does your skin feel tight?
Harsh cleansers typically have high pH levels and disrupt
the skin’s barrier, leading to moisture loss in the skin and a feeling of
tightness after cleansing.
3
Do you notice dull, uneven skin texture on parts of your face or body?
Uneven skin texture is commonly due to excessive
accumulation of dead skin on the skin’s surface. This can give the skin a dull
appearance and make it feel rough to the touch.
4
Do dry skin patches frequently crop up on your face, hands, feet and
other parts of your body?
Dry skin patches can have multiple causes, such as exposure
to chemicals or harsh soaps, windy or cold weather, showering with hot water,
frequent hand-washing, or using products that irritate or dry the skin.
5
Does your skin tend to get irritated and develop redness or itching
easily?
Your skin may be more reactive than average and is easily irritated when coming
into contact with environmental triggers, or particular ingredients in topical
products, like skincare or makeup.
