Here are some Biological & Lifestyle Triggers that can make skin hypersensitive:


🧬 Biological Triggers:

  • Genetics – If sensitive skin runs in your family, you may be more prone to it.

  • Hormonal fluctuations – During menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, your skin may become more reactive.

  • Underlying skin conditions – Such as rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis increase skin sensitivity.

  • Aging – Thinner, more delicate skin becomes more reactive over time.

  • Allergies – Both food and environmental allergies can show up as skin irritation.


🧘‍♀️ Lifestyle Triggers:

  • Stress – Increases cortisol levels, which can weaken your skin’s barrier and trigger inflammation.

  • Lack of sleep – Reduces skin regeneration, making it more prone to sensitivity.

  • Poor diet – Deficiencies in essential fatty acids, vitamins, or antioxidants can compromise skin health.

  • Smoking – Diminishes blood flow to the skin and increases oxidative stress.

  • Alcohol – Can dehydrate the body and increase skin flushing.

  • Caffeine – May cause redness or dehydration in sensitive individuals.

  • Overexertion (excessive workouts) – Sweat buildup and heat can irritate skin.

  • Inconsistent skincare routine – Switching products too often or overusing actives can disrupt your skin barrier.
