Why am I the one with sensitive skin?
In fact, the triggering factors of sensitive skin are very complex, including individual factors (genetics, age, hormone levels, etc.) and external factors (sun exposure, temperature changes, improper cleaning or skin care, medical aesthetic treatments, etc.). The reason why the number of people with sensitive skin increases during the changing seasons may be that they are affected by changes in temperature and sun exposure. Incorrect skin care habits, such as excessive cleansing, frequent use of exfoliating products, and excessive use of makeup, are common causes of aggravated skin sensitivity. However, the above-mentioned factors are only inducing factors, and the "culprit" that actually causes skin sensitivity is actually a damaged skin barrier.Our epidermal barrier is like a "brick wall" structure: the keratinocytes of the epidermis are like "bricks", and the intercellular lipids are like "mortar", which wraps the cell bricks and makes them regularly and tightly arranged into a stable skin barrier. On the one hand, this barrier can prevent external stimuli from causing damage to the skin. On the other hand, it can also prevent the loss of moisture and nutrients inside the skin through the epidermis. At the same time, it can also interact with other skin barriers, such as microecological barriers and immune barriers. Influence and regulation, together maintain the normal physiological metabolism of facial skin.
Once this "brick wall" is destroyed, a series of changes will occur:
1. Increased skin moisture loss - resulting in discomfort such as dryness, tightness, and desquamation;
2. External stimuli and epidermal symbiotic bacteria enter the skin—triggering a series of immune and inflammatory reactions, causing blood vessels to dilate, and skin redness and swelling;
3. The barrier's ability to protect the nerve endings of the skin is weakened-itching, tingling, and burning sensations are more likely to occur.
It can be seen that repairing the skin barrier is the core of sensitive skin care.How to save yourself with sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin care needs to follow the principle of "gentle cleansing, soothing and moisturizing, and strict sun protection", and at the same time, anti-inflammatory and soothing treatments can be used to further improve symptoms.1. Gentle cleaning
For sensitive skin, it is recommended to wash the face with warm and cool water every day, and dry it with a towel. The frequency should not be too much, and once in the morning and evening is appropriate. If there is a lot of oil, try to use amino acid mild cleansing; or use cleansing products on local areas such as the T zone, and wash the rest of the area with water2. Soothing and moisturizing
Sensitive skin loses moisture quickly, so moisturizer should be strengthened at ordinary times. shouldSelect clinically proven and safe skin care products for sensitive skin (cleansing, moisturizing, sunscreen), especially medical skin care products with barrier repairing effects. For oily skin, you can choose a light texture lotion to moisturize. Topical products for sensitive periods should be as simple as possible, and all make-up should be discontinued to allow the skin to fully rest.3. Strict sun protection
Sunlight further damages the skin barrier and makes the skin more prone to hyperpigmentation in areas of inflammation. During the sensitive period, try to choose sunscreen products specially designed for sensitive skin, and avoid stimulation such as fragrance and alcohol. If you can't tolerate sunscreen, you can mainly block sunscreen, choose sunscreen hats, sunscreen masks, sunglasses, etc. with UPF value (Ultraviolet Protection Factor).4. Anti-inflammatory and soothing treatment
If the facial discomfort is obvious, you can apply cold and wet compresses to the face (usually choose mechanical grade medical dressings), or go to the dermatology department of the hospital to receive cold spray, soothing and other treatments to further reduce the inflammatory response and repair the skin barrier.
