Sensitive skin.

Q: What is the difference between sensitive skin and sensitised skin?

Naturally sensitive skin has a lasting fragility. Sensitised skin goes through a period of temporary sensitivity, often linked to external factors. Normal, combination or oily skin can therefore also become sensitised from time to time.

Sensitive skin reacts quickly to cold, friction, or a new product. Our specific treatments help protect and balance these fragile skin types.

Soothe and protect sensitive skin.

Redness, tightness, sensations of heat or discomfort: sensitiveor sensitized skin reacts more intensely to factors that are usually well tolerated, such as temperature variations, stress, friction, or certain cosmetic products.

This sensitivity can be permanent or occasional. Naturally sensitive skinexhibits lasting fragility, whereas skin that is usually comfortable can temporarily become sensitizedunder the influence of external factors. Therefore, all skin types can experience periods of sensitivity.

To meet these needs, Sothys has developed a range of skincare for sensitive skinbased on three essential actions: protect, soothe, and balance.
