Most people with sensitive skin will have no idea that their skin is sensitive until they start developing reactions to products. For example, if you continue to use a product with fragrance in it, your skin may become red or burn. Sensitized skin is often a temporary reaction, while sensitive skin is a permanent issue.
How Can You Tell If You Have Sensitive Skin or Sensitized Skin?
It is a common misconception that sensitive skin and sensitized skin are the same thing, but they can be very different. If you have sensitive skin, it is easily inflamed by harsh skincare ingredients, chemicals, or irritants. If your skin is sensitized, it is typically a reaction to specific chemicals and triggers symptoms such as itching, redness and scaling.
