Understanding skin hypersensitivity to care for it better. Do you have skin that gets tight or hot easily? Tingling or redness on the face at the slightest attack? When you have hypersensitive and reactive skin, discomfort is very common. To provide lasting relief from these symptoms, it is important to identify the cause of the irritation and then choose the most appropriate solution.
The epidermis is a protective barrier. Its first task is to prevent external elements from penetrating the skin. If this epidermal barrier is weakened, it is unfortunately no longer able to stop external aggressors, such as irritants or allergens. This is what happens with reactive skin, whose protective shield is no longer strong enough to protect it effectively.
Its second task is to prevent the water contained in the skin from escaping. In the case of some hypersensitive skin, the epidermal barrier is too weak to carry out this role properly. The skin's water evaporates more easily than normal, leaving the skin drier and dehydrated (and therefore more fragile and uncomfortable).
A: Normal skin
B: Reactive skin
There are many sensory receptors on the surface of the skin. Their role is to transmit an alert to the brain when the skin is attacked, thus causing a sensation (tingling, tightness, flushes, etc.). When skin is hypersensitive, these “ overly chatty ” receptors send information to the brain at the slightest opportunity, causing discomfort, itching and burning.
If your skin is hypersensitive, you have probably already noticed that it cannot tolerate certain cosmetic products. Specific ingredients cause this. Sterile Cosmetics® is the most suitable solution for the most demanding skin types. Preservative and fragrance-free, Sterile Cosmetics® contain only the essential ingredients to soothe, moisturise and protect your skin. As the name suggests, the products are manufactured in a sterile environment, and the closure system is hermetically sealed to prevent contamination. Therefore, no preservatives are needed and tolerance is optimal. Sterile Cosmetics® moisturise and soothe the skin with the utmost respect, minimising any risk of skin reaction.
Make-up removers, lotions, balms, creams: have you tried several cosmetic products with different formulas to try to soothe your hypersensitive skin? The more different products you use, the more potentially irritating substances your skin comes into contact with. It can then be difficult to identify the ingredients that cause your skin to overreact. One of our main pieces of advice to people with skin sensitivities is, therefore, to review their skincare routine. The aim is to avoid increasing the number of cosmetic products and to tilt the playing field by focusing on safe, fragrance-free and preservative-free products, therefore, limiting the risks of irritation.
