Several biological changes can contribute to increased skin sensitivity with age.

Weakened skin barrier
As skin matures, the protective barrier can become less effective at retaining moisture and protecting against external irritants.

Reduced lipid production
Lower natural oil production may lead to dryness, which can increase skin sensitivity.

Hormonal changes
Hormonal shifts after menopause can affect skin hydration and resilience.

Environmental exposure
Sun exposure, pollution and environmental stress can gradually weaken the skin’s protective functions.

These changes can make mature skin more vulnerable to irritation if not properly supported.

Sensitive mature skin benefits from a skincare routine that prioritises hydration, barrier support and gentle formulations.

Effective skincare for sensitive skin often focuses on:

• maintaining hydration and moisture balance
• strengthening the skin barrier
• avoiding harsh or stripping formulations
• supporting skin resilience with nourishing ingredients
• maintaining a consistent and gentle skincare routine

When skincare is applied in a thoughtful sequence, it can help maintain skin comfort and improve overall skin health.

When applied in the correct sequence, skincare can help improve skin texture and restore visible luminosity..
