How sensitive are you?

Some of us tend to think our skin isn't that sensitive, and we regularly abuse it by not wearing sunscreen all of the time, not drinking enough water, and generally ignoring our skin's need for cleaning and moisturizing and treating other ongoing conditions. But when you start using a new product or product set, you may find that you are more sensitive than expected. If you have redness as a result of a cleanser it could be caused by: Something in the cleanser you're allergic or sensitive to The way you're using the product such as scrubbing too hard or applying or removing it in too rough a way Using it with water that can be an irritant Not following it with an appropriate moisture replacement I have found that I'm using very little water on my face these days. I'm using a very mild cleanser and taking it off with a very fine, hospital-grade gauze pad. This seems to work for me in minimizing any skin sensitivity issues for my akin, which I know is ultra-sensitive after years of rosacea irritation. While my rosacea is well managed at last, I still have to contend with sensitive skin issues all of the time so I don't lapse back into redness and severe outbreaks.
