Your skin communicates in different ways, and understanding the language matters.
Skin sensitivity is the skin’s immediate response to external triggers. You may experience stinging, flushing, tightness or irritation when using certain products, during weather changes, or when the skin barrier is weakened. Sensitivity often tells us the skin needs protection, nourishment, and time to rebuild its resilience.
Skin inflammation is a deeper, ongoing state within the skin. It can present as persistent redness, breakouts, uneven tone, accelerated ageing or skin that feels difficult to settle no matter what you try. Inflammation is often influenced by internal factors such as stress, hormones, gut health, lifestyle, and long-term barrier disruption.
While the symptoms can look similar, the support your skin needs is very different.
A truly considered approach begins with listening — observing patterns, triggers, and the skin’s history. By understanding whether the skin is reacting or inflamed, we can nurture it with intention, calm the nervous system of the skin, and guide it back to balance over time.
Because caring for skin is not about quick fixes. It’s about education, patience, and respecting the skin’s natural intelligence.
