Sensitive cream: Discover the benefits of a cream with Avena Sativa

As a dermatologist, the increasing demand for skin care products specially developed for sensitive skin, such as the sensitive cream, strikes me. I’ve been seeing more and more people with sensitive skin in my practice lately.

It is estimated, however, that at least 50% of women and 40% of men perceive their skin as sensitive. It is even called a dermatological condition by 31.2% of people with very sensitive skin, by 17.6% of people with sensitive skin, by 8.7% of people with slightly sensitive skin and by 3.7% of people who do not have sensitive skin. Patients with sensitive or very sensitive skin have also had eczema more often in their youth.

Many medical textbooks do not consider sensitive skin to be a specific condition. Therefore, the analysis and treatment usually remains with the patient/consumer and their physician. Sensitive skin is not actually a skin disease, but rather a skin type that is less resistant to regular use of cosmetics and other external factors. It’s important to use products specifically designed for sensitive skin types and to treat your skin gently to avoid further irritation.

Sensitive skin can manifest itself in different ways, such as redness, a stinging or burning sensation, sensitivity and/or itching, especially in areas that are exposed to different factors, such as chemical products (cosmetics, soap, water, pollution), physical influences (ultraviolet radiation, extreme temperatures (heat or cold), and even excessive wind), psychological factors (stress), or changes in hormones (pregnancy, the menstrual cycle).

It is important to know that sensitive skin is not always the same as an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction involves a hypersensitivity reaction of the immune system, while sensitive skin can be caused by various factors and does not always have an allergic cause.

Irritation after cosmetic use: within minutes, sometimes after days

Factors that increase the predisposition of sensitive skin

A woman’s epidermis is less thick than a man’s, which can make the skin more sensitive….

A number of factors are known to increase the predisposition to sensitive skin. According to experts, age plays an important role first; young people have more sensitive skin than the elderly. There is almost no data on sensitive skin in children in the medical literature. One possible explanation is the high ratios of body surface area to body mass in children, as a result of which they experience higher exposure to skin care products and are therefore more sensitive.

Several factors can contribute to developing sensitive skin. One of those factors is ethnicity, where it seems that Asians, for example, develop sensitive skin more quickly.

The body part also plays a role, because the skin on the face is often more sensitive than on other parts of the body. For example, the nasolabial fold is the most sensitive part of the face, followed by the cheekbones, chin, forehead and upper lip.

In addition, culture also plays a role, because in some cultures perfumes, creams or make-up are more often used that are aggressive and irritate the skin. It is important to understand that sensitive skin can have different causes and finding the right skin care routine is important to protect the skin and prevent it from becoming irritated.
