Sensitive and sensitised skin

Sensitive and sensitised skin is quite reactive. Tingling, tightness, burning sensations and redness are all signs, and common reactions for sensitive to intolerant skin. Its sensitivity is caused by a reduction in the skin’s tolerance threshold and a weak barrier function. The skin is therefore more sensitive to internal and external stress.
Intolerant skin must be distinguished from allergic skin, which is caused by sensitisation to a specific molecule.
