Understanding dry, sensitive skin

What causes dry, sensitive skin

When the skin barrier, the outer layer that holds moisture in and keeps irritants out, is worn down, water escapes and skin becomes dry, tight and easily irritated. Everyday habits and the environment are often the cause.

Weather and air conditioningSun, wind and dry indoor air pull moisture from the skin.
Over-exfoliatingToo many scrubs, peels or acids can strip the barrier.
Harsh cleansers and hot waterFoaming cleansers and long, hot showers wash away natural oils.
When to see a doctorPersistent rashes, cracking, itching or patches that don't improve with gentle care should be checked by a dermatologist.
