The sensitive skin has fine texture with thin surface and blood vessels very close to the surface. As a result, it can be easily affected by internal and external factors causing blotchiness, redness, increased warmth, dehydration and irritation. The sensitive skin can feel taunt over the bone areas and have tendency toward dryness. While there is always the danger of over stimulating the skin, it is important to increase the cellular function to improve elasticity. Generally, the skin layer is very thin with unbalanced protective film (moisture). Sensitive skin is easily stimulated by stress, causing vasodilation, chronic dehydration, and often arctic oil production. A person with dry sensitive skin will tend to get drier under stress, whereas as person who is oily tends to easily erupt with acne and show a greasy film.
