Sensitised Skin

A diminished immune response can be genetic or exacerbated by various factors.

• Excessive sun exposure
• Environmental toxins
• Poor nutrition and a lack of protein
• Harsh soaps and some cosmetics
• Cigarette smoke, inhaled or second hand, constricts the blood vessels, which reduces the amount of oxygen reaching skin tissue

Sensitivity is often triggered by a warning signal from the Langerhans cells, receptors that register the presence of foreign agents and toxins in the skin. The Langerhans cells stimulate an allergy response, known as a histamine reaction when they come in contact with skin irritants.

To attempt to calm sensitised skin and to “Turn the Red off” irritated and reddened skin needs a skin care professional who understands the reactive nature of this skin care concern.

DermaFix ACC Copper has a soothing and calming effect, ensure to use a correct DermaFix cleanser and stay away from the use of soap based products.

After the cleansing routine, apply DermaFix ACC Copper to calm skin and stop red inflammatory conditions. Follow with the application of DermaFix Vitamin B Cream, promoting skin healing whilst providing the deep moisturisation needed to combat sensitive skin. DermaFix Argan Oil can be applied over the above-mentioned products to alleviate the discomfort associated with dryness and sensitivity.
