Sensitive VS. Sensitized Skin
Half of the world's population suffers from symptoms associated with the term "sensitive" skin. Truly sensitive skin is genetic, however, sensitized skin is not due to genes. Sensitized skin reactions are due to triggers in your lifestyle and environment. Triggers include: climate, cosmetic products, alcohol, pollution, skin care ingredients, diet, over exfoliation, and stress. By making simple changes to your daily life because of the triggers mentioned above relief and results can be achieved.
Solutions: use caution with makeup (pay attention to the listed ingredients), use skincare products with soothing properties (ex: chamomile, lavender), de-stress (topical treatments can't absolutely calm the skin without help from your mind). So when it comes to your sensitive or sensitized skin be aware and use caution.
