At The Skin Studio, we’ve been pondering over why skin tends to react in a fussy manner at times. Dealing with redness, itchiness, and irritation can be daunting, and we believe it’s crucial to understand whether it’s a case of sensitive skin or sensitized skin. Both these conditions demand a unique approach, and we’ll help you understand the difference.

Sensitive Skin: Let’s picture your skin as a strict doorkeeper at an upscale event. Your sensitive skin carries these strict boundaries, naturally more delicate with limited tolerance to external factors. Common stimuli that bring discomfort to your sensitive skin may include fragrances, harsh chemicals, and various environmental factors.

Sensitized Skin: Now, imagine that doorkeeper after a long, chaotic evening. Usually normal skin becomes temporarily weakened and sensitized due to external stressors. These stressors often mirror those affecting sensitive skin, with the addition of over-exfoliation, harsh skincare products, and certain medications.

At our Skin Studio, we have strategies and procedures inspired by the wisdom of Korean skincare practices to provide relief and prevent flare-ups for both sensitive and sensitized skin:

1. Streamlining Skincare: We recommend and provide gentle, fragrance-free products that are formulated specifically keeping sensitive skin in mind.
2. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize: We ensure that your skin receives the essential hydration it needs to keep the skin barrier healthy and irritation-free.
3. Prioritize Sun Protection: We advise using mineral sunscreen for protection against harmful sun rays, especially for sensitive skin.
