Sensitive and Hydration

The Correlation Between Hydration and Sensitivity

When our skin speaks, it does so through its silent messages.
Deciphering these messages unlocks a path to optimal skin health and self-awareness.

Dehydration is a sign of the body losing water more than it is taking in.

When an individual experiences dehydration, the integrity of their skin barrier diminishes, leading to a reduction in natural oils and moisture. This compromises the skin’s surface, the protective barrier that normally prevents the entry of undesirable substances and limits excessive water loss from the body.

Consequently, the weakened barrier leaves the skin vulnerable to irritation from external factors, allowing allergens, and exposure to chemicals and pollutants without effective protection, resulting in increased skin sensitivity.

When the skin is adequately hydrated and moisturised, it becomes more resilient, supple and better equipped to fend off environmental stressors.

Here are some other factors that may increase skin senitivity.

In the TCM term, skin is the reflection of our lung which governs the defense Qi on the skin surface. With deficiency to a certain level, conditions such as eczema, rosacea, rashes and other skin sensitivities can be found in some individuals.

Pregnancy, menopause and menstruation can cause skin sensitivity due to hormonal changes. Such fluctuations in hormonal levels can affect the skin’s oil production and moisture balance.

Daily sufficient water intake is necessary to allow a good flow of body fluid to nourish and promote bodily functions. With the lack of water, the hydration supply to the skin level is naturally reduced.

Inadequate sleep can disrupt the skin’s repair and regeneration, heightening susceptibility to damage and irritation, thereby increasing skin sensitivity.
