What exactly do you mean by sensitive skin? “Sensitive skin” isn’t really a clinical term; it’s more of an expression for the skin that is easy to irritate. It means that the skin has a tendency to react more than average and can easily be irritated by environmental factors like sun, wind, cold or by topical products like lotions and fragrances. Sensitive skin feels different to different people.

The irritation usually manifests itself in the form of symptoms like redness, stinging, burning itching and general discomfort, after your skin comes in contact with the particular ingredient or environmental trigger.
