Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin typically has a genetic basis and tends to be prone to redness, often experiencing flushes of redness. Even the slightest irritation or trigger can cause this type of skin to flare up at any given moment. Allergies, pollution, chemical irritants, illness, extreme temperatures, and unsuitable environmental conditions are among the many factors that can trigger such reactions. Sensitive skin can be more prone to inflammatory conditions like psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema due to elevated levels of histamine in the body. Visible signs of sensitive skin include skin sensitivity, dermatitis, chafing, broken veins, and fine broken capillaries. Sensitised skin, also referred to as reactive skin, is typically caused by self-induced factors. It can also arise from untreated or undiagnosed pre-existing conditions like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies. Various major contributors to sensitised skin include the use of harsh chemical cosmetics, excessive application of makeup, frequent harsh professional skin treatments that strip away the skin's natural hydrolipid barrier, medications, dietary choices, and hormonal changes.

The key to treating sensitive or reactive skin lies in using ingredient formulations that aim to prevent dermal sensitivity and inflammation, shield the natural hydrolipid barrier, decrease free radicals, and rejuvenate the skin's innate health. By incorporating plant-based ingredients like Aloe leaf extract, Centella asiatica extract, Chamomile extract, and various other calming botanical oils, Kalahari formulations effectively address and restore your skin's optimal balance.
