5 signs that you have sensitive skin and as many solutions - Most people think of sensitive skin as skin that is easily irritated. But what they don't know is that certain products or environmental factors sensitize the skin, and thus, rashes and itching occur.
The skin becomes dull, rough, its firmness decreases, fine wrinkles appear, it itches and you may wonder why. For various reasons, the skin microbiome is affected. Specifically, that skin barrier made up of friendly bacteria that function like well-trained guards is at risk. When we live in a polluted environment, when we wear a mask for a long time, when it is very cold or very hot, this microbiome is out of balance and pathogenic microbes gain ground. For example, fine particles of heavy metals, nitrates, sulphates and hydrocarbons give rise to free radicals, which activate the receptors responsible for inflammation and trigger the response, i.e. irritation, itching, dull complexion and premature wrinkles. All these things can sensitize the skin.
Contributing factors are everywhere, whether we leave the house or not. Urban pollution damages the skin and makes it more vulnerable, but it adds to it:
You'll notice that soaps, detergents, perfumes, some skin care products and household products can make your skin react - itchy, dry or red. In addition, exposure to cold, sun and wind can trigger rashes.
It can take the form of a rash, irritation, redness or even dilated blood vessels. Sometimes even scaling can occur when the skin is exposed to a trigger. The redness will usually go away after removal of the irritant or with appropriate treatment.
Dry skin and sensitive skin can go hand in hand. Areas of itching and extreme dryness can occur. You're likely to have more problems with dry skin in cold, dry weather, as well as during windy periods. Using a gentle moisturizer rich in regenerating ingredients will help.
When your complexion is sensitized, you'll notice a lack of radiance, dark circles, bags under the eyes and discolored areas on the complexion. So, for cellular replenishment, your complexion needs rest, a healthy diet, moisturizing and products rich in specific ingredients to give your complexion the glow it needs.
Your sensitive skin is more susceptible to the harmful effects of the sun. If your skin is already irritated or flaking, you are at even greater risk for sunburn. You should always wear sunscreen when outside, especially on your face, whatever the season.
We need to give the skin microbiome a helping hand to rebalance it. An effective and handy solution is the new Uriage Bariéderm Cica Daily skincare range, specially created for damaged and fragile skin.

Range Bariéderm contains two Uriage patents - POLY-2P and GF-Repair whose role is to insulate the skin barrier against damaging environmental factors, and on the other hand to reduce redness and restore the skin. The range also contains, Uriage Thermal Water that protects, repairs and stimulates skin healing. It is a unique water in the world with a rich minerality of 11g/L, which restores the cutaneous barrier by rebalancing the microbiome and helps to reduce water loss in the epidermis.
