Sensitive skin is a common condition, often where the skin reacts strongly to things like the environment, chemicals, or skincare products. This can cause discomfort, redness, itching, or even allergic reactions. It’s influenced by factors like genetics, environmental factors such as sunlight and pollution, skin disorders like rosacea or eczema, hormonal changes, allergies, and reactions to skincare products. Common triggers include harsh weather, UV rays, air pollution, certain fabrics, fragrances, dyes, alcohol in skincare products, rough exfoliants, and chemicals in household items.

Implementing simple skincare tips at home can help manage these skin symptoms. This includes opting for fragrance-free and hypoallergenic skincare products, selecting items that are suitable for sensitive skin, avoiding harsh chemicals, alcohol, and abrasive ingredients, conducting patch tests before introducing new skincare products, applying sunscreen with a high SPF for UV protection, moisturising regularly to maintain skin barrier function and prevent dryness, and using lukewarm water instead of hot water for cleansing. For a more tailored and long-term approach, we recommend booking a skin consultation, where we can assess your specific needs and create a personalised plan including targeted in-clinic treatments.
