The so-called sensitive skin type refers to skin itself that has a lower threshold value towards external irritations, that easily results in conditions of skin redness, itchiness, stinging, coarseness, and rashes due to irritations from temperature, humidity, physical and chemical substances.For instance, skin that just had laser resurfacing,Rosacea, and is unable to tolerate cosmetic products all belong to such skin types. As for allergic skin types, it is a skin type with specific allergic reactions towards certain metals, spices, antiseptic or chemical ingredients.However, this type of skin will usually not have a significant difference compared to normal skin if it does not make contact with these substances that result in allergies.
If yes to all three points, then you have sensitive skin.
Sensitive Skin Allergies occur easily due to external irritations, particular ingredients or body and seasonal changes.The face feels dry and tight after cleansing; the skin often feels tight with a burning sensation.
