Why do we get sensitive skin?

The Stratum Corneum is a layer on the skin’s surface packed with lipids and proteins. It acts as a barrier, providing your skin with resistance to physical and environmental aggression. When the Stratum Corneum becomes weakened the barrier develops cracks, allowing external irritating agents to penetrate the skin thus causing sensitivity. Damage to this barrier also occurs if we have a change in the natural PH balance of our skin, which is why using a toner specifically design for our skin type helps reduce sensitivity too.
