Sensitive Skin

Severe skin sensitivity is a result of skin cells releasing molecules that cause inflammation - leading to swelling, redness, pain increased heat and ultimate loss of cell function. A variety of reasons may cause skin cells to become overly sensitive - everything from sunlight, heat, cold along with a variety of chemicals may result in an inflammatory reaction.

The best treatment is to slowly increase exposure to vitamin A and antioxidants - thus allowing the skin's natural barrier function and resilience to outside factors to improve.
