What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is when the skin can become sore and inflamed
due to a reaction of the skin cells when touched. The reaction can be set off
by heat, touch or products. It is usually not an allergic reaction that occurs
but a problem with cells being over sensitive. Red blotchy patches can usually be seen on the skin.
What causes sensitive skin?
Skin sensitivity can be due to hormones, stress, lifestyle,
diet, sun damage or genetics. Some skins are sensitive to different things so
it is important to always do a small patch test with products before committing
yourself to them.
Treatments for sensitive skin?
Advanced vitamin skin treatment – A treatment that used
concentrated doses of vitamins A and C in a serum form. It is placed on the
skin and electrical current is used to push the product to the basal layer of
the skin when the skin cells grow. It helps to improve the condition of the
cells making them less sensitive.
