    Glossary Skin Sensitivity

    condition where skin reacts easily to external stimuli

    Skin Sensitivity, also known as Sensitive Skin or Dermal Sensitivity, refers to a condition where the skin reacts more easily to external stimuli such as chemicals, fragrances, or environmental factors. This can result in symptoms like redness, itching, burning, or dryness. It is often due to a weakened skin barrier or heightened nerve endings, making the skin more prone to irritation and discomfort.
