What is sensitive skin?
By definition, sensitive skin is skin that reacts strongly when faced with a stimulus. It can be caused by external and internal factors, which we detail further down in this article. Hyper-reactive skin does not only concern dry skin. You can have skin that is both sensitive and oily. Furthermore, reactive skin can be linked to many skin problems such as rosacea, couperose, and seborrheic dermatitis, for example. Likewise, even skin that is otherwise more resistant than others can be prone to occasional sensitivity. When skin is sensitive, one may:
- feel tingling sensations,
- feel heat;
- feel burning sensations;
- feel tightness;
- feel discomfort;
- notice redness…
The concept of sensitive skin is often associated with other terms such as intolerant skin, reactive skin, ultra-sensitive skin, or irritable skin, for example.
What are the causes of sensitive skin?
The cause of sensitive skin can be internal (endogenous) or external (exogenous). Exogenous causes of sensitive skin can include the following factors:
- Medical treatments;
- Increased use of detergents;
- Increased use of soap;
- Seasonal changes;
- Climate changes;
- Temperature changes;
- The composition of the hygiene products used;
- UV radiation;
- Washing too frequently;
- Chemical aggressions;
- Lifestyle…
Endogenous causes of sensitive skin can include the following factors:
- Intolerances;
- Allergies;
- Hormonal imbalances;
- Genetic heritage;
- Dehydration;
- Thin skin, as in the case of an infant or child.
But what does this have to do with deodorant? Underarms can also have sensitive skin and be prone to rashes. This can be linked to various causes such as hair removal creams, textile friction, soap, shaving, waxing, diabetes, irritants... Hence the importance of choosing a natural, gentle deodorant with a suitable composition.
