01
Causes of sensitive skin
Sensitive skin can be caused by different skin conditions, both congenital and acquired. Come and find out what’s causing your sensitive condition~
Q: The cause of dry sensitive skin – most of them are congenital
Dry and sensitive skin is mainly caused by lack of water, and congenital factors account for a large proportion. For example, the innate stratum corneum brick wall structure of the skin is relatively weak, and the natural moisturizing factors at the skin level are also less. When stimulated by external physicochemical (physical, chemical) factors, such as excessive ultraviolet radiation, stimulation of certain cosmetic ingredients Or the dry climate in autumn and winter will cause some skin to be dry, tight, flushed, and even tingling, hot, or peeling.
Q: The cause of oily skin – acquired sperm
Oily skin is dry on the outside and oily on the inside, which is more caused by improper skin care the day after tomorrow. Generally speaking, the stratum corneum of oily skin is thicker, the sebum film is tougher, and it is not easy to produce sensitive phenomenon. However, due to improper skin care, such as excessive cleaning and acid brushing, excessive skin care, excessive use of some powerful products, wind and sun exposure, and failure to repair after medical art, etc., it will lead to the destruction of the sebum film, which will lead to oily skin. sensitive.
Q: The cause of oil sensitive acne – inflammation invasion
The barrier protection system of oil-sensitive skin is relatively weak. When the sebum film that maintains the stability of the skin’s pH value and inhibits the reproduction of microorganisms on the skin surface is damaged, bacteria are easy to invade and infect, resulting in inflammation and acne.
Key points: Whether it is dry, oily, or oily acne-prone skin, there is a common cause, that is, the skin barrier is damaged . The main thing to do is to maintain and rebuild the skin barrier. The barrier refers to the skin stratum corneum barrier and the microbial barrier , that is, while repairing the skin stratum corneum, it also maintains the microbial homeostasis of skin cells. Only in this way can the skin barrier reach a healthy state and exert its own protective function, which can not only resist the invasion of external physical and chemical harmful factors, but also prevent the loss of nutrients and moisture in the body, so that the skin is in a healthy state.

The high-grade red ginseng of the same origin in Zhengguanzhuang is also its only skin care brand. We all know that we have been doing research on red ginseng for more than a hundred years in Zhengguanzhuang, and I trust its brand endorsement.”
And this essence is actually the second-generation upgraded version of their red ginseng essence. In addition to red ginseng saponins, red ginseng root water, red ginseng essential oil, and red ginseng body fluid, these 4 core red ginseng ingredients are also added. Contains “Red Ginseng Probiotic Technology” and some herbal botanical compounds.
