This weekend I treated yet another new client experiencing extreme sensitivity, with itching, stinging and redness and at a complete loss as to how to deal with it. Sound familiar?
All the above are the signs of sensitive skin, but the triggers behind these sensations are less clear; genetics, hormones, stress, chemical assaults, foods and even aggressive skin treatments can intensify skin's highly reactive state. In addition, environmental factors, ageing and lifestyle choices can all increase skin sensitisation.
Cold winds and low temperatures, sun exposure, pollution and chemical exposure in cleaning and household products can irritate and dry out skin, depriving it of lipids and moisture between cells that keep the protective layer of the skin intact. Without these substances skin is left unprotected against bacteria and irritant invation and moisture is drawn out. Did you know dry skin is a precurser to sensitised skin?
Whether skin is naturally sensitive or has become sensitized by external factors,the common factor behind sensitive skin is inflammation. When paired with the loss of skin’s protective barrier, skin health is compromised and becomes highly reactive.
How does it work?
Using active botanical extracts, Dermalogica have created the UltraCalming range, the first and only treatment system to target both immunogenic and neurogenic inflamation as well as reinforcing the skin’s lipid barrier layer. Dermalogica UltraCalming is the most advanced treatment system on the market for sensitised skin.
Immunogenic Inflammation
Triggered by the immune system, skin inflammation is caused by a foreign substance such as pollen or artificial fragrances.
Neurogenic Inflammation
Triggered by the nervous system, sensitized or inflamed skin may be the result of the environment, chemicals or physical and emotional stress.
Loss of Protective Barrier
Excess exfoliation, exposure to soap and water, even psychological stress can compromise the skin’s protective barrier, lowering tolerance against potential stressors resulting in sensitization and irritation.
