Did you know that STRESS plays a huge factor in the sensitivity of your skin? It can actually create havoc with the skin's protective barrier causing us to exhibit the telling signs of sensitive skin... red, irritated, and itchy skin. When skin is stressed it loses water at a greater rate and it doesn't renew or repair itself at it's natural rate.
To combat the signs of sensitive skin caused by stress we can look at a two step approach. Using products with ingredients that are GOOD for sensitive skin such as Oatmeal, Chamomile, Aloe vera, Sulfur, Lipids, Vitamins C and E, Dimethicone, Allantoin, and Green Tea will help get the red out and reduce the irritation.

Focusing on reducing stress a few minutes a day can do amazing things. A study at the University of California in 2007 showed that those assigned to a stressful assignment versus those assigned to a non stressful one showed a delayed skin barrier recovery of 10%. Taking time for yourself and engaging in low stress activities for a few minutes a day can have a lasting effect on your skin.
