There is a difference between irritants and allergens, and understanding this distinction can help in identifying and avoiding potential skin reactions. Fragrances, both natural and synthetic, can be a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis. Finding skincare products that work for sensitive skin can be challenging, and it often requires trial and error. The beauty industry needs more research, regulation, and education to ensure the safety and efficacy of products. Simplify your skincare routine and eliminate potential irritants to identify triggers for skin reactions. Reintroduce products one at a time to pinpoint the cause of skin problems. Skincare for young children should involve minimal washing and exposure to some dirt. Excessive cleanliness can disrupt the immune system and the skin's natural balance.
