Sensitive skin is red most of the time and can be easily irritated by things like the sun, products, etc. You may even notice rosacea-like symptoms. While sensitive skin is commonly hereditary, it can be brought on (or made worse) by environmental assaults like pollution, sun, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, etc.
Proper treatment of sensitive skin will focus on calming ingredients. A gentle cleanser with vitamins and antioxidants is important...don't over-scrub the skin! Antioxidants will help to prevent environmental assault on the skin. Moisturize with a product that will calm and protect skin, and be sure it has SPF15. Moisturizer acts as a barrier to help protect skin during the day. Exfoliate a 2-3 times a week with a very gentle exfoliant if you can...for some sensitive skin types, exfoliating is too harsh and should be avoidid. Listen to your skin and don't overdo anything!
