Don't let sensitive skin hold you back.
Published for CETAPHIL, 21 Feb 2023, 02:45 PM
Do you have sensitive skin and find that it's getting in the way of enjoying life like you want? :(
Sensitive skin affects about 70% of individuals worldwide*. According to Cetaphil, seven out of ten Malaysians believe they don't have healthy skin**, while more than 50% surveyed have experienced at least one sign of skin sensitivity**.
Wondering whether you have sensitive skin? There are usually five signs of skin sensitivity you can look out for. They include dryness, irritation, a weakened skin barrier, roughness, and tightness.
You tend to experience dry skin when your skin doesn't produce enough oil, leading to dry flakes, redness, or irritation.
Roughness and tightness, on the other hand can come alongside a weakened skin barrier, where your skin loses the ability to hold on to hydration, leaving it vulnerable to outside stressors.

Those with sensitive skin often deal with these issues.
But, did you know that even people with dry, oily, and normal or combination skin types are also prone to the five signs of skin sensitivity?
External factors, such as your environment, are usually to blame for these triggers. This means your skin can get irritated just by going about your daily activities.
Other triggers include certain chemicals like preservatives or dyes, as well as things like pollution, weather, and temperature sensitivity.
Think strong winds while riding your bike, sweat that drips down your face during a workout, a makeup routine with new products, or even fur and dander from cuddling with your pet!
No matter what kind of skin sensitivity you are facing, let Cetaphil come to your aid!
