Sensitive skin reacts more than normal skin to stimuli that are usually of no visible consequence. It experiences sensations of discomfort that may be permanent or temporary. This skin is constantly fighting against the aggressions of everyday life. It no longer has the weapons to defend itself properly, which prevents it from returning to its normal threshold.
Some environmental (pollution, UV rays, etc.) and lifestyle (stress, diet, etc.) factors exacerbate the reactivity of already sensitive skin. When it becomes chronical, these aggressions aggravate skin sensitivity and leads to accelerated skin ageing process, called “inflamm’ageing”. Thus, over time, clinical consequences are aggravated with an increase of wrinkles, fine line, skin dehydration and loss of radiance.
