How sensitive skin comes?

Is delicate skin easy to form sensitive skin?

No exactly. Sensitive skin is divided into congenital type and postnatal type. The former one is related to inheritance. It is usually sensitive skin. The later one is related to many factors, such as: a. environment, season alternation. Lines are caused by changes of humidity, air pollution and ultraviolet radiation; b. internal disease and incretion disorder, i.e. long-term disorder of stomach and intestines’ function; c. unbalanced nutrition and long-term innutrition; d. spirit, long-term instable spirit, high pressure and excessive blahs; e. medicament, i.e. skin may has dependency on medicine if keeping using punchy or steroids medicine; f. improper maintenance, i.e. skin is cleaned excessively using alkaline products, or excessively remove cutin.

How hypersusceptibility comes?

There are four factors that tend to bring and induce hypersusceptibility:

Food: irritative food, such as seafood, pollen and capsicum and so on;

Medication: eternal medicine, such as liniment, lintment; medicine, such as aspirin, anodyne, diuretic and so on;

Cosmetics: alcohol, coloring matter, flavor, antiseptic and sun-screening agent, and hair dye, cold wave lotion and so on；

Eyewinker: such as animal hair, leather goods, K gold, oil paint and so on.

Why sensitivity and hypersusceptibility occur?

Healthy skin has a layer of natural protective membrane-sebum membrane. In normal conditions, it contains about 5%-7% of axunge, 20%-30% of moisture, both of which are in subacidity. It can prevent not only moisture from excessive evaporation, but also ultraviolet and air pollution from hurting skin. Once sebum is damaged, moisture-keeping function will become weak, skins is getting dry, itch, even peels, and becomes weak in guarding against cold and hot and pressure. In this situation, we can see inflammation, red in some parts of skin. That is sensitivity.

Hypersusceptibility refers to that a series of reflection will arise when skin contacts anaphylactogen.

Characteristics of hypersusceptibility and sensitivity:

Characteristics of sensitive skin are: a. hair pores are closed and fine. The surface of skin is dry, coarse. Skin is thin, and capillary vessel and asymmetric rubeosis can be seen; b. dryness and itch tend to occur to surrounding of eyes, mouth margin, arthrosis and so on. c. many cosmetics and some medication lead to hypersusceptibility, which is marked by partial rubefaction, itch and anthema if not serious, and swelling, exuviations, many irritable pimples, water seepage and even exuviations in large area and fever heat on the whole body if it is serious.

Treatment of hypersusceptibility and sensitivity:

Words from exports:

For sensitive skin, irritative food and herb cosmetic should not be eaten and used; no contact on hotness, alkali and electricity; do not rub skin excessively; avoid being irradiation by ultraviolet radiation and wash face with cold or warm water.

Once hypersusceptibility occurs, we should go to find out why. We should keep away from anaphylactogen. Simultaneously, adjusting immunity and improving sensitive constitution through eliminating free radical.

If hypersusceptibility occurs during nursing:

Stop using cosmetics. Have a treatment if it is not serious and smear antianaphylaxis medication if it is serious, and stop using the medication at once when the disease straightens up. If it is very serious, go to hospital for a treatment.

Nursing order in beauty parlor can be improved. The order is: cleansing cream-skin lotion- cold spraying (B6 vitamin or antianaphylaxis essence can be added)- shiatsu on facial points- antianaphylaxis collagen face mask- cold compress-basic maintaining.
