Sensitive Skin: The Silent Scream of Sensitivity and Redness

In a world full of stimuli and stress, our skin is often the first to sound the alarm. Sensitive skin can manifest as redness, itching and irritation - a gentle whisper from our body begging for attention.

But where does this sensitivity come from? How can we best care for sensitive skin? In this blog, let's dive into the origins of sensitive skin and the role of serums in calming it down.

The development of sensitive skin

Our skin is a true masterpiece of nature, but it can become unbalanced and sensitive . The development of sensitive skin can have many causes, such as genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, an unhealthy lifestyle, and external factors such as pollution and UV radiation.

The skin is our first line of defense against the outside world and is naturally covered with a protective layer of lipids and cells. When this skin barrier is weakened, the skin can become irritated more easily. This often results in redness, itching, small bumps and a feeling of discomfort.

Why do we need special serums for sensitive skin?

The answer lies in the gentle nature of this skin. Perfumes and fragrances in many skincare products can contribute to irritation and redness in sensitive skin. That’s why fragrance-free serums are so essential.

Fragrance-free serums are specially designed to nourish the skin without adding irritants. They are rich in hydrating and soothing ingredients. These ingredients help to restore and protect the skin without further aggression.

Ingredients LAYZIN SERUM 05 highlighted:

Symcalmin is a high-quality complex derived from oats. The main ingredient Avenanthramide has a calming and soothing effect, with excellent properties against redness and itching. This makes Symcalmin particularly suitable for atopic and sensitive skin. And it makes the skin more resistant to allergies. It is colorless and odorless.

Niacinamide stimulates the production of Ceramides: these are fatty acids that are naturally present in your skin. Your epidermis consists of more than 50% Ceramides. These fatty acids keep the skin cells together so that your skin barrier remains intact and healthy.

Vitamin E , also called Tocopherol, offers good protection against free radicals and supports the barrier function of your skin. In addition, Vitamin E ensures that your skin burns less quickly in the sun. Vitamin E also limits the damage that UV radiation can cause to your skin and provides protection to healthy skin cells.

Jojoba has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces redness by preventing dehydration. It soothes the skin and provides the necessary comfort.

Panthenol , also known as provitamin B5, has a versatile effect and is well absorbed by the skin. It makes your skin barrier stable and therefore your skin is better hydrated. It also stimulates the fibroblasts: these are important cells in the skin that are partly responsible for the formation of elastic fibers and collagen. It forms the basis for letting the sensitive skin breathe again.

Woresana® is an ingredient of natural origin that should not be missing. It regenerates collagen and also has an anti-aging effect. An unsettled or quickly irritated skin can have various causes such as eczema, allergies or changing weather conditions.

The Impact of UV Radiation on Sensitive Skin

UV rays are one of the biggest culprits when it comes to sensitive skin. The sun can damage the skin and cause redness, even in people without sensitive skin. But for those with already sensitive skin, exposure to UV rays can make the situation worse.

UV radiation can damage skin cells, weaken the natural barrier and cause inflammation. This can lead to increased sensitivity and redness. It is therefore crucial to protect sensitive skin from the sun with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
