Sensitive Skin
 Sensitive skin is characterized by: • A thin epidermis with blood vessels close to the surface • A red and blotchy appearance • Tautness over bone areas • A crepe-like or delicate texture • Some cases of sensitive skin can have over-active sebaceous (oil) activity. • External conditions such as chemical, mechanical, atmospheric irritation and fluctuations in temperature can easily affect the skin. • Internal conditions such as stress or illness can affect skin appearance. Blood vessels dilate in reaction to stress. • The heat generated from the redness creates a tendency towards dehydration. |
