Introduction
If your skin often feels itchy, burns after washing, or reacts to new products, you’re not alone — you may have sensitive skin. At Essanne, we understand the daily struggle of trying to find skincare that soothes instead of stresses. Let’s break down what sensitive skin really means and how to care for it the gentle way.
What Is Sensitive Skin?
Sensitive skin isn’t a medical condition — it’s a way your skin responds to certain triggers like fragrances, harsh chemicals, weather, or even stress. It can show up as:
- Redness
- Dry patches
- Itchiness
- Stinging or burning sensation
- Breakouts from "normal" products
Everyone's sensitivity is different - that's why personized care is key.
What Causes It?
There are many possible causes, such as:
- Genetics
- Overuse of strong products (especially exfoliants)
- Environmental stress (pollution, sun, cold)
- A damaged skin barrier
- Allergies or reactions to fragrance and alcohol in products
