Sensitive Skin

Your skin may be reactive to certain temperatures, ingredients, or materials and these sensitivities usually cause your skin to turn red. Either as a rash, rosacea, or eczema. Sensitive skin can be triggered by stress, alcohol, sun exposure, spicy foods, or low quality skin products with irritants. 


Rosacea

Rosacea is like a blush that never seems to go away. Rosacea can look like small red pimples, fine vascular lines, or red bulbous nose. Rosacea is caused by heat or sun exposure, diet (like spicy foods or alcohol), bacteria, or sensitivity to facial products.

In order to prevent rosacea, monitor triggers and avoid them. 


Eczema

Dry, itchy, scaley patches are marks of eczema. Eczema starts out as dry red or brown patches in skin folds or on neck, hands, and feet usually caused by either genetic or environmental factors. While there is no cure for eczema there are ways to manage and reduce symptoms. Monitoring triggering factors and wearing breathable materials, regular moisturizing, and avoiding rubbing the skin helps.


Acne
