The 5 Signs of Skin Sensitivity

Living with sensitive skin is a life-long journey. The good news is that you’re not alone. In fact, 70% of us admit to having skin that is prone to dryness, irritation, inflammation or adverse reactions. From chemical irritants to environmental conditions, hormonal shifts, stress, and even diet, many factors can trigger or exacerbate skin sensitivities. But when skin needs are as unique as they are personal, how can you tell which sensitive skincare products are right for you? We consulted with dermatologists, scientists and experts to identify 5 signs of skin sensitivity, making caring for your skin even simpler.

Identifying The 5 Signs

of Skin Sensitivity

Image without a name

People with skin sensitivities often have a thinner or damaged barrier layer of skin that allows irritants to penetrate, and moisture to be lost more easily. This is not something you are likely to see, but you will feel it. If you are prone to discomfort, like stinging or burning sensations when using products not designed for sensitive skin, chances are you have a damaged or fragile skin barrier.

Sensitive skin is more likely to react negatively to certain stimuli, which can lead to unpleasant sensations such as stinging, itching and discomfort.

We naturally shed skin all the time, but this process can be impaired for those with sensitive skin, leading to flaky, dull and uneven skin texture.
tightness

Taut, stretched or strained skin lacking moisture and hydration can affect nearly 98% of people with sensitive skin.
weakened-skin

People with sensitive skin may have a thinner or weakened skin moisture barrier, which allows irritants to penetrate and hydration to escape.


Cetaphil products are designed to improve the resilience of sensitive skin and help defend against dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness and a weakened skin barrier.
