Frequently Asked
Questions

What are the common symptoms of sensitive skin on the face?

What factors can contribute to the development of sensitive skin on the face?

There are many reasons that your skin may develop skin sensitivity such as a change in humidity, stress, harsh skincare, UV radiation, washing detergent and hay fever. You may also find that lifestyle factors such as eating certain foods or drinking alcohol creates skin sensitivity. Identifying your personal triggers can be beneficial to managing your sensitive skin and help you to prevent future flare-ups.

How can the environment cause skin sensitivity?

What are some recommended skincare practices and products for individuals with sensitive skin on the face?

A daily skincare routine is especially important for those with sensitive skin, who may have a compromised skin barrier. Dermatologists recommend formulations that are designed to help strengthen the skin barrier and boost moisture levels with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, squalene, chamomile, and ceramides. You should also use products with very gentle and minimal formulations and accreditations such as those from Allergy UK. Many dermatologists recommend applying serums and moisturisers to slightly damp skin to maximise hydration levels.

What should you avoid if you have sensitive skin?

If you have sensitive skin there are a few things you should try to avoid, such as very hot showers or baths, overheating your home, lying out in the sun without sunscreen, or using very harsh skincare containing fragrance or alcohol. It’s also very important that your skin doesn’t dry out and that you re-apply moisturiser throughout the day.
