(Redirected from Sensitive skin type)
 


Sensitive skin is a skin condition in which skin is prone to itching and irritation experienced as a subjective sensation when using cosmetics and toiletries. When questioned, over 50% of women in the UK and US, and 38% of men, report that they have sensitive skin.[3]

A 1914 photograph for Emily Lloyd's dermatology book detailing the benefits of massage for all skin types; the c. 1870 text reads, "Extremely sensitive skins sometimes become irritated under even the lightest treatment but these are exceptions to the rule."[1][2]
