Sensitive skin is due to environmental pollution, food or skin allergies. You will need to discover which compounds cause this sensitivity and inflammation. Combination skin happened when we do not have the even functioning of the sebum glands, resulting in some areas more oily and some areas with dry skin.
Moisture levels in the skin are partly determined by genetics. Some people are genetically predisposed to dry and sensitive skin. Even in identical conditions, different people will have different skin types.
Hormonal changes due to puberty, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and the menopause can all affect skin’s resistance to irritants.
Existing facial skin conditions ranging from dehydrated and dry skin to atopic eczema and acne can all result in skin becoming sensitive to irritants such as colourants, perfumes and alcohol.
Over-exposure to the sun and lack of appropriate UV protection can cause skin to dry out and become irritated. The lack of humidity caused by central heating affects skin hydration too.
Certain medications and medical treatments (e.g. radiation therapy, dialysis or chemotherapy) can affect skin’s natural moisture balance.
A balanced diet helps the body function properly and build a defense against harmful diseases and conditions. Lack of nutrients affects the body internally and externally. Dry, flaky skin is a direct result of poor nutrition.
Lack of sleep, too much stress, smoking, improper skin care regimen can lead to sensitive and dry skin.
