What is Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin refers to skin that is easily irritated and causes some discomfort. When the external environment changes, the skin cannot adjust, and uncomfortable feelings and allergies appear. Sensitive skin can be divided into three types: dry skin, oily skin, and mixed skin.
Characteristics of Sensitive Skin
The skin is thin, delicate and fair, with less sebum secretion, drier, and obvious capillaries. The skin appears dry and the ability to retain moisture is reduced, and the sebum film on the skin surface is not formed completely.
Contact with cosmetics or seasonal allergies can easily cause skin allergies, redness, swelling and itching. The skin lacks luster, and the cheeks are prone to hyperemia and redness.
Due to seasonal changes, the skin tends to be unstable. The main symptoms are itching, burning, tingling, itchy skin and small rashes.
It is easily affected by external environment or substances such as cold wind, food, water quality, ultraviolet rays, synthetic fibers, fragrances, and pigments.
When exposed to irritating substances, it can cause skin problems. It can cause allergies to sunlight, climate, water, plants (pollen), cosmetics, perfume, mosquito bites and high-protein foods.
Types of Sensitive Skin
Dry sensitive skin
No matter what the season, the skin is always dry and rough. When you apply the lotion, you will feel a little tingling, itching, and sometimes redness. People with these symptoms are dry and sensitive skin. The cause of skin allergies is that the skin is dry, which reduces the defense function, and sufficient moisture is enough.
Oily sensitive skin
Acne and small particles are prone to appear on the face, red, swollen, and inflamed. Even cheeks and other areas that are prone to dryness can also develop acne. Experts say people with these symptoms should have oily sensitive skin. Sensitivity is caused by excessive sebum adhesion and insufficient moisture, which causes the skin's protective function to decrease. Just remove the excess sebum and fully moisturize it.
Stress sensitive skin
Before the seasons change and before the menstrual period, cosmetics and skin care products will become inapplicable. As long as there is insufficient sleep or stress, the skin will become dry. People with these symptoms should belong to stress-sensitive skin. The reason lies in endocrine disorders caused by various external stimuli or hormonal imbalances.
Permanently sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is like allergic dermatitis or abnormally sensitive sources such as sunlight, spices, and pigments. Specific irritants (allergens) cause allergic reactions. If you still follow your daily maintenance methods, it will be very dangerous. The best way is to go to a dermatology clinic immediately and use the Beimu Shumin ointment recommended by your doctor.
Lack of Water
The Reason Why Someone Has Sensitive Skin
Cosmetic
Sensitive skin cosmetics are inferior, deteriorating cosmetics, irritating cosmetics and certain pharmaceutical cosmetics. The most typical cosmetic allergy is fragrance allergy, and cosmetics containing alcohol, such as astringent, can also cause skin irritation. Others such as biochemical preservatives, fruit acids, etc. will cause different irritation to different skins.
Chemicals
Mosquito coils, plastics, rubber, dyes, paints, essences, alcohol, etc. Some people are allergic to chemical fiber clothes. Some hair dyes, cold perm, shampoos, and hair care products can easily cause skin allergies in these people, and even cause corneal inflammation.
Drug
Such as sulfa drugs, contraceptive drugs, etc. Penicillin, sulfa drugs, etc., may cause skin allergies.
Food
It is common that seafood, mangoes, and nuts can cause allergies. Such as fish, shrimp, milk, fruits, etc.
Pollen
During the pollen transmission season, tiny pollen particles will be scattered in the air during the transmission process, and fly around with the flow of air, and part of them will be inhaled by people and absorbed by the skin.
Dust
Dust allergy is an allergic reaction of microorganisms living in dust and is the most common allergy. Dust allergies include cotton fiber, fur and various fibers, animal fur and so on.
Age
Perhaps aging is an important reason for skin sensitivity. Young and healthy skin has a weakly acidic sebum film on the surface, which retains moisture to protect the skin from external aggressions. However, with age, this sebum film is not as healthy as before, so that some sensitive substances can easily invade the skin.
Pet
Sensitive skin is prone to allergies from the fur of domestic pets. The cause of this pet allergy is mainly the protein secreted by the fat glands of cats and dogs. When pets lick the fur, these proteins get on the fur, then scattered into the air and attached to people. Caused by the skin.
Seanson Changing
Due to various environmental factors, allergenic substances such as bacterial spores and pollen scattered in the air will release a large amount of histamine, a compound that can be found in almost all tissues of the human body, causing facial skin allergies.
Temperature Change
The temperature fluctuates and makes the faces of sensitive people red and hot.
Ultraviolet Rays
Ultraviolet radiation causes facial skin irritation.
Ohters
Animal hair, metal, and clothing are often allergens for sensitive skin. Some people are allergic to cold, hot air and ultraviolet rays.

The Skin Care for Sensitive Skin
Wash your face with cold water to increase the skin's resistance. If the skin is not suitable, you can use warm water (20℃-30℃) first, then gradually lower the water temperature, and use a facial cleanser made of natural materials or a soap with less irritation. It is best to use an anti-allergic facial cleanser.
Use skin care products made from natural plants, such as skin care products or facial masks made from fruits and vegetables. It is not suitable to use nutritional skin care products and facial masks containing drugs or animal protein because the skin is prone to allergies.
When using a new skin care product, first apply a small amount on the inner forearm or behind the ears. After 48 hours of observation, if there are local redness, swelling, blisters, itching, etc., it means that the skin is allergic to the skin care product and must not be used. On the contrary, it can be used without any partial reaction. Usually, it is best not to apply more makeup and change the makeup easily.
Skin allergic to cold wind and ultraviolet rays should be protected when going out. For example, wear a cold-proof cap and mask in winter to prevent cold winds. In summer, you should hold an umbrella or wear a sun hat, and apply sunscreen to your face to prevent sun exposure.
When caring for the skin at night, use fruit juice or vegetable juice for skin care. It can nourish the skin and prevent skin allergies.
Regularly go to the beauty salon for skin care, which has a good effect on improving the condition of the skin and increasing the skin's sensitivity.
