Common conclusions

Breakouts that look like acne with itchy patches and sores can grow if you have sensitive skin. You should clean your skin gently with a mild soap, so you could try CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Senté Daily Soothing Cleanser, etc. The best moisturizers for you can be Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel, etc.

Sensitivity to sunlight can be a sign of sensitive skin. If you sunburn easily your skin is definitely sensitive. You should aways wear sunscreen when you are outside, especially on your face. You should use a gentle sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, so you could try La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen, Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30, Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 50, etc.

Sensitive skin is generally defined as skin that is reactive to external aggressors both in the environment and skincare. Soaps, detergents, fragrances, perfumes, skincare products, and household products are common causes. You should avoid harsh astringents and exfoliants, try using organic cleaning supplies, use essential oils instead of perfumes, use a gentle, fragrance-free soap, etc.

Those with delicate skin that is thin and has less layers of protection are more likely to have damaged capillaries.

If your skin reacts to bad weather, your skin could be sensitive. The atmosphere of an area can really affect the skin all over your body, causing everything from acne breakouts to itchy dry patches, whether it is cold and dry or hot and sunny. You may need to change your skincare routine to add cleaning products to protect your skin from the changing weather to keep breakouts and discoloration at bay. To remain hydrated, you will also need to turn to a light-weight moisturizer and drink plenty of water.

Great! Your skin is maybe not sensitive.
