What is the difference between “sensitive” and “environmentally sensitized” skin?
A. Professionally-speaking, skin sensitized by the environment is easily-irritated and unable to tolerate over-stimulation from aggressive environmental factors such as pollution, sudden changes in climate and humidity and certain cosmetic ingredients. While a small percentage of the population is born with genetically sensitive skin, most people who experience redness, itching and inflammation are actually suffering from an environmentally-induced reaction.
