Dry or Sensitive Skin

Causes of Dry or Sensitive Skin

• Environmental Factors: Harsh weather conditions, low humidity, and exposure to extreme temperatures can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leading to dryness and sensitivity.
  
  
• Skincare Products: Certain skincare products containing harsh chemicals or fragrances may irritate the skin, especially for those with sensitive skin types. Choosing gentle, fragrance-free formulations is key.
  
  
• Age: As we age, the skin tends to produce less oil, making it more susceptible to dryness and sensitivity. The gradual decline in natural skin oils can compromise the skin's protective barrier.
  
  
• Hot Showers and Bathing Habits: Prolonged exposure to hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to sensitivity. Opting for shorter, lukewarm showers can help mitigate this effect.
  
  
• Underlying Skin Conditions: Conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can contribute to dryness and sensitivity. Managing these conditions with the guidance of a dermatologist is crucial.
  
  
• Diet and Hydration: Inadequate water intake and a lack of essential nutrients in the diet can impact skin health. Hydrating from within and consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants can contribute to skin vitality.
