Skin sensitivities, otherwise known as sensitive skin, is a condition in which the skin cannot tolerate harsh conditions, chemicals or even some foods. It is easily irritated and is more reactive than usual. The skin may burn, sting, turn red or feel uncomfortable when exposed to triggers. There may also be appearance of rashes or hives. However, lifestyle and dietary changes can help to manage sensitive skin. Tips for dealing with skin sensitivities through diet and lifestyle include:

1. Identify triggers: Keep a record of the symptoms you experience and patterns or anything that triggers the symptoms.

2. Stay away from your trigger: After identifying what triggers your skin sensitivities, stay away from them. They could be food such as diary, wheat, soy or certain skincare products.
