What Makes Skin Sensitive? And the Best Makeup for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive Skin Isn’t Just “In Your Head”

If you’ve ever felt stinging, redness, or irritation from products that promise to “nourish” or “soothe,” you’re not alone. Sensitive skin is real, and it’s more common than ever. The truth? Sensitivity doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people experience flare-ups only during season changes, while others struggle daily with redness, burning, or dryness.

What Really Causes Skin Sensitivity?

Sensitive skin can be triggered by both internal and external factors:

Internal: genetics, hormonal shifts, stress, and underlying skin conditions like rosacea or eczema. 

External: pollution, climate changes, harsh skincare ingredients, over-exfoliation, and even makeup that blocks your skin from breathing.

At the core of sensitivity is usually a weakened skin barrier. When your barrier is compromised, irritants sneak in more easily, and hydration escapes, leading to irritation and flare-ups.

Why Makeup Matters More Than You Think

Not all makeup is created equal, especially when it comes to sensitive skin. Traditional foundations often include heavy oils, artificial fragrances, or occlusive ingredients that clog pores and trap bacteria. The result? More irritation on already stressed skin. This is where Oxygenetix changes the game.
