Reactive Skin

Reactive skin flushes, stings or flares in response to triggers rather than to products specifically: heat, cold, wind, spice, alcohol or stress. It overlaps with sensitive skin, but the pattern is different even though the response is much the same. Keep the routine short, avoid fragrance and physical scrubs, and build the barrier. Persistent flushing across the cheeks and nose can be rosacea, which is treatable and worth having diagnosed.
