When we talk about sensitive skin, we are making a general reference to skin types that react strongly to factors that do not affect normal skin. However, it is important to remember that not all sensitive skin is alike. As a result, helpful tips for other people may not be right for you.
For example, some people’s skin is sensitive to contact with certain products or metals, reacting with rashes or eczema. Other people may have a more pronounced skin reaction to abrupt changes in temperature or different environmental factors. What we eat may also cause skin reactions.
Using stringent criteria when choosing your body hygiene products can help you give your sensitive skin the care it deserves. If your sensitive skin is affecting your quality of life, you should ask your dermatologist for advice.
