Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is not a condition that can be diagnosed by a doctor. It is usually a symptom of other conditions. You may not realise you have sensitive skin until you have a negative reaction to cosmetics, such as soaps, moisturisers or make-up.

​

Sensitive skin is a condition characterised by reactions such as erythema, papules, dilated capillaries, tingling, burning, and intolerance to certain cosmetics due to complex mechanisms including the skin barrier, nerves, blood vessels, immunity, and inflammation.
