How do I know if I have sensitive skin?

The term “sensitive skin” refers to skin which is prone to reactions, due to a number of internal and external factors. Variations in climate, temperature rises, cold, stress, pollution, the sun’s rays, shaving for men, using a beauty or make-up product with an unsuitable formula are all external stressors that can be the source of irritation and cause an immediate reaction on the skin.

Sensitive skin expresses its discomfort by showing signs of suffering on the face or body. Redness, excess sebum, tightness, itchiness, and breakouts are all reactions that a person may experience. Sensitive skin is not unique to one skin type - you may have oily skin, dry skin, or combination skin, and simply be prone to reactions.
