The sensitive and irritated skin on the body

Sensitive and irritated skin on the body is a skin condition where the skin reacts excessively to influences that most people normally tolerate. For example, clothing, soap, temperature, or skin care products.

The skin is often dry, red, itchy and uncomfortable and requires extra gentle care.

Characteristics of sensitive and irritated skin on the body

  • The skin may appear red, especially after touching, washing, or shaving.
  • It often feels hot and "stressed".
  • The skin often itches and can burn, especially if it becomes dry or exposed to perfume, wool, heat or cold.
  • Dryness and rough surfaces often worsen the irritation.
  • Reactions to external influences can lead to temporary outbreaks, such as red spots or small itchy bumps.
  • Does not tolerate perfume, alcohol, dyes, synthetic clothing or temperature fluctuations.

Causes

  • Weak or damaged skin barrier: Makes the skin more susceptible to the penetration of irritants.
  • Skin diseases: Such as atopic eczema, rosacea or contact dermatitis.
  • Frequent washing or improper care: Too much soap, hot water or rough sponges.
  • Environmental influences: Cold, dry air, sun or pollution.
  • Hormonal changes or stress.

Skin care for sensitive and irritated skin on the body

  • Use soap-free, perfume-free and pH-neutral products.

  • Take short, lukewarm baths instead of long, hot ones.
  • Moisturizer or balm several times a day. Without synthetic perfume or overly strong essential oils.
  • Cotton or bamboo clothing can be nice. Avoid wool and synthetic materials.
  • Avoid scratching, as it worsens irritation and can lead to sores or infection.
