Common Triggers for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin can react to a variety of factors, including:
• Harsh soaps, detergents, and cosmetic products
• Excessive sun exposure or extreme weather changes
• Environmental allergens such as pollen, dust, or pollution
• Stress, hormonal fluctuations, and unhealthy diet habits

Identifying these triggers early and minimizing exposure is key to preventing irritation.

Tips for Caring for Sensitive Skin

1. Gentle Cleansing: Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers to avoid disrupting the skin barrier.
2. Moisturize Regularly: Hydration helps strengthen and protect sensitive skin.
3. Sun Protection: Always use sunscreen with at least SPF 30, even on cloudy days.
4. Patch Testing: Test any new skincare or cosmetic product on a small area first.
5. Avoid Over-Exfoliation: Too much exfoliation can strip the skin’s natural oils.
6. Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and manage stress for better skin resilience.
