Have you noticed your skin suddenly flaring up, feeling tight or becoming irritated? Sensitive skin can be a bit of a drama queen – sometimes reacting to weather, stress or products that normally work perfectly well. A reactive complexion is often a sign that the skin barrier is compromised and in need of extra care.
Here’s your guide to calmer skin with products from MARIA ÅKERBERG.
Why does skin become sensitive?
Sensitivity is a common skin condition that occurs when the protective barrier is weakened and the skin falls out of balance, making it more reactive to various triggers. These can include external stressors such as sun, cold weather or pollution; internal factors like stress or hormonal changes; or strong products containing sulphates, fragrance compounds or other skin-reactive ingredients. Skin conditions such as eczema or rosacea can also make the skin more prone to redness.
All skin types can experience sensitivity
Whether your skin is dry, oily, normal or combination, it can occasionally feel sensitive or reactive. Even resilient skin can be affected by internal or external factors. When this happens, your skincare routine needs a boost of soothing products that strengthen the skin over time.
