What is Sensitive Skin?

Sensitive skin is a skin type that reacts easily to triggers which most people’s skin can tolerate. This reaction can cause redness, itching, burning, dryness, or rashes. It is not a disease on its own but rather a sign that your skin’s protective barrier is weaker or more reactive than normal.

When the skin barrier is delicate, external factors like weather changes, cosmetics, pollution, or even stress can irritate it. Sensitive skin can be temporary (due to a reaction or illness) or long-term (as part of a chronic skin condition).

Patient Testimonial:
“For years, my skin would turn red, burn, and itch even with the slightest weather change or soap use. I tried creams and medicines, but nothing lasted. After starting homeopathic treatment at the clinic, my skin gradually became calmer and healthier. Within two months, I could go outside in winter without fear. It’s been over a year now, and I’m still free from those irritating flare-ups. I’m truly grateful for this gentle healing.”
