Sensitive skin requires special care, particularly when considering cosmetic treatments such as chemical peels. Individuals with sensitive skin often experience redness, irritation, stinging, or dryness when exposed to harsh products or environmental stressors. In Riyadh, where the climate is hot, dry, and sun-intensive, sensitive skin can be even more reactive, making professional guidance essential. Chemical peels can still be a safe and effective treatment for sensitive skin if performed correctly. When tailored to your skin type, they can help improve texture, reduce pigmentation, and enhance overall skin radiance without causing excessive irritation. Understanding Sensitive Skin Sensitive skin is not a medical diagnosis but rather a description of how the skin reacts to external stimuli. Common characteristics include: Redness or flushing Tightness or dryness Stinging or burning sensations Reactivity to skincare products In many cases, sensitive skin is associated with a weaker skin barrier, making it more prone to damage from chemical peels or environmental factors. In Riyadh’s dry and sunny environment, the skin barrier can be further compromised, emphasizing the need for gentle treatment options and professional supervision.
