How to judge whether you have sensitive skin

There are three main types of facial skin: oily skin, combination skin and dry skin. When people perform skin care, they can choose suitable skin care products and cosmetics according to their skin properties. Among them, there is a skin type called sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is easily allergic to some skin care products with too many additives and more irritating skin care products, and some red blood streaks will develop. So how do you judge whether you have sensitive skin?

We usually call the skin that is easily affected by external stimuli, turns red and hot due to high or low temperatures as sensitive skin. There are two reasons for sensitive skin: excessive skin care and genetic factors. In fact, there are not many cases of sensitive skin caused by genetic factors. The characteristics of congenital sensitive skin are more obvious: thin epidermis, obvious capillaries, easy congestion and redness and swelling of the cheeks, and the face will become red and itchy when encountering internal or external stimulation or excessive rubbing.

Acquired sensitive skin is related to lifestyle, environmental pollution, etc. and has some similarities with allergic skin. Studies have shown that about 80% to 90% of sensitive skin is caused by excessive skin care.

Among these five skin types, sensitive skin is the most special. Compared with other skin types, its judgment standard is mainly the degree of response to external stimuli.

Characteristics of sensitive skin:

1: The skin epidermis is thin and red, especially when angry.

2: When the seasons change, especially in spring and autumn, the skin becomes itchy and flaky

3. Using new skin care products may cause rashes or swelling, and skin tingling

4 : Pollen and dust allergies; redness, itching and other discomfort

5: There are red blood streaks on the cheeks. Don’t dare to use skin care products randomly, as it is easy to have a burning sensation.

Sensitive skin type

① Naturally sensitive skin: Due to genetic factors and physical constitution, the skin sensitivity should be mainly moisturized in skin care.

② Acquired sensitive skin: Skin sensitivity caused by factors such as temperature, humidity, climate, mental state, or skin diseases. For this kind of sensitive skin, soothing should be the main focus in skin care.

③ Sensitive skin caused by “making” mistakes: Sensitive skin is caused by excessive cleansing, frequent visits to beauty salons for skin care using three-no products, or long-term use of skin care products or drugs containing hormones. This type of sensitive skin should be mainly repaired.
