Understanding Sensitive Skin: Causes and Signs

Skin is considered sensitive when it overreacts to external factors such as temperature changes, wind, pollution, stress, or skincare products. This hypersensitivity results in discomfort and visible signs of irritation, such as redness or tightness. Sensitive skin requires special attention and adapted care to avoid further aggravation.

Sensitive skin is often described as delicate, easily irritated, and prone to inflammation. Unlike normal skin, it may react even to mild ingredients or gentle environmental changes. This can turn everyday skincare into a challenge and make maintaining comfort and appearance more difficult.

It is also important to distinguish between sensitive skin and reactive skin. Sensitive skin is a skin type, meaning it is consistently more fragile and prone to irritation. Reactive skin, on the other hand, refers to a temporary condition—any skin type can become reactive due to specific triggers such as over-exfoliation, harsh products, or stress. While sensitive skin needs long-term care and prevention, reactive skin often requires calming treatments and barrier repair.

Common symptoms of sensitive or reactive skin include:

• Itching
• Tingling
• Burning sensations or discomfort
• Redness or visible irritation

Sensitive skin can affect anyone, regardless of age or skin type. It may appear temporarily or persist chronically, depending on genetics, lifestyle, and skincare habits. A personalized, gentle approach is essential to reduce reactivity and restore skin balance.

Our Approach

Thanks to 3D imaging technology, we are able to analyze the different layers of your skin and evaluate its overall condition, including inflammation zones, hydration levels, and barrier function. This in-depth assessment helps us determine the origin of your skin’s sensitivity—whether it is linked to external aggressors, an impaired barrier, or underlying reactivity.

Following this analysis, we design a personalized treatment plan that is adapted to your specific skin profile, lifestyle, and tolerance level. Our goal is to reduce discomfort, soothe irritation, and help strengthen your skin’s natural defenses over time.

Multiple solutions may be proposed, depending on your needs. These can be used individually or combined for greater effectiveness. In many cases, we recommend a balanced approach that includes gentle, targeted in-clinic treatments along with a simplified at-home routine designed to support your skin’s recovery and stability.

Each plan is developed with care to respect the fragile nature of sensitive skin, and to promote long-lasting comfort, resilience, and a healthy, calm complexion.
