“…For example, in the study by Misery et al 12 (3rd line of the Table 2), variation in temperature was an aggravating factor for 66.9% of subjects with SS and for 33.1% of subjects without SS, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.001). 11 The seasons Some studies evaluated skin sensitivity according to the season. 11 Richters et al 14 effected a multivariable logistic regression in which temperature changes independently contributed to the prediction of self-reported sensitivity with an odds ratio (OR) 1.072 [1.030-1.115].…”

Sensitive skin (SS) is a syndrome defined by the occurrence of unpleasant sensations in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke such sensations. In most patients, symptoms occur within 1 h following exposure to trigger factors and may persist for minutes or even hours. Numerous triggering factors (physical, chemical or psychological) are suspected and described in articles. The aim of this article was to perform a systematic literature review to collect data on the triggering factors involved in SS and to then perform a meta‐analysis. Thirteen studies were included in the systematic literature review. Subjects were classified into groups, SS or no sensitive skin (NSS), and triggering factors were researched through responses to different questions. SS could be triggered by numerous factors. The most important triggering factor was cosmetics, with an odds ratio (OR) equal to 7.12 [3.98–12.72]. Other triggering factors were physical (variations in temperature, cold, heat, wind, sun, air conditioning, wet air and dry air), chemical (water and pollution) or psychological (emotional) factors. After cosmetics, the most important factors were wet air, OR 3.83 [2.48–5.91]; air conditioning, OR 3.60 [2.11–6.14]; heat, OR 3.5 [2.69–4.63]; and water, OR 3.46 [2.56–4.77].

“…It is notable that the prevalence of the perceived effects of fluctuating hormone levels on self-assessed sensitive skin has recently been demonstrated to be high in women. 27 The prevalence of sensitive skin among age classes is a frequently discussed theme, with some studies suggesting an increase or a decrease with age, 28 without giving any possible reason. Our results, which come from a large sample, clearly show that self-declared sensitive skin is more common in people <35 (more than 60%), and the prevalence increases from the 15-24 age group to the 25-34 age group.…”
