Sensitive vs sensitised skin
True sensitive skin conditions are genetic – they’re usually a result of a defect in the skin’s outermost protective layer, which allows irritants and allergens to penetrate the skin more easily.
Sensitised skin on the other hand is a result of environmental factors, which damage the outer layer of the skin. These include:
Pollution
Heat and UV damage
Hormonal changes
Poor diet
Sensitised skin will often show the same symptoms as inherited sensitive skin, becoming easily irritated, inflamed, red and itchy.
