“…To our knowledge, this study is the first to report the triggering of sensitive skin by sweating. This finding is not surprising since heat is a known trigger factor 14‐17 . While many patients with sensitive skin have a history of atopy 15,17 and particularly extrinsic atopic dermatitis, 18 sweating commonly induces or enhances pruritus and paresthesia in atopic patients 19 .…”

“…The role of dust has not been studied, while the role of air pollution has been frequently reported. [14][15][16][17] The main limitation of this study is that the collected data reflect the subjects' opinions. To date, all epidemiological studies on sensitive skin were performed using methodologies based on surveys of representative samples of populations.…”

“…The role of food in sensitive skin has never been reported, and a potentially interesting approach would be to conduct further studies to determine which food components were involved in skin sensitivity.

Background Sensitive skin is related to environmental factors. Objectives We aimed to investigate the roles of poorly known associated and triggering factors on sensitive skin in a large global population.Methods A survey was administrated to a representative sample of the adult population aged 18-75 years in five different countries (Brazil, China, France Russia, and the United States). All participants answered a web-based questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics, sensitive skin and environmental factors.Results Among the 10 743 included individuals (5285 men and 5458 women), 48.2% declared that they had sensitive skin. The group with sensitive skin reported significant increases in fatigue, dust or sweating and to a lesser extent food or tobacco consumption. The members of this group also declared that they experienced more sleep disorders than individuals without sensitive skin. Sensitive skin was very frequent in pregnant women, women with painful menstruations or women using contraceptive pills.Conclusions This large cohort study identified new factors, including female hormonal status, fatigue, sleep disorders and food, associated with sensitive skin. These associations suggest that sensitive skin is not restricted to an epidermal disorder but may be included in a larger context. The identified factors are potential upstream drivers of neurogenic inflammation in sensitive skin.

“…These reactions can range from slight discomfort to frequent visible skin irritation signs, such as redness. In detail, the adverse reactions refer to objective/visible and subjective/sensory symptoms-for example, tightness, stinging, burning, and tingling, or sometimes pain, itching, and discomfort [155,[158][159][160][161].…”

Neurocosmetics in Skincare—The Fascinating World of Skin–Brain Connection: A Review to Explore Ingredients, Commercial Products for Skin Aging, and Cosmetic Regulation

The “modern” cosmetology industry is focusing on research devoted to discovering novel neurocosmetic functional ingredients that could improve the interactions between the skin and the nervous system. Many cosmetic companies have started to formulate neurocosmetic products that exhibit their activity on the cutaneous nervous system by affecting the skin’s neuromediators through different mechanisms of action. This review aims to clarify the definition of neurocosmetics, and to describe the features of some functional ingredients and products available on the market, with a look at the regulatory aspect. The attention is devoted to neurocosmetic ingredients for combating skin stress, explaining the stress pathways, which are also correlated with skin aging. “Neuro-relaxing” anti-aging ingredients derived from plant extracts and neurocosmetic strategies to combat inflammatory responses related to skin stress are presented. Afterwards, the molecular basis of sensitive skin and the suitable neurocosmetic ingredients to improve this problem are discussed. With the aim of presenting the major application of Botox-like ingredients as the first neurocosmetics on the market, skin aging is also introduced, and its theory is presented. To confirm the efficacy of the cosmetic products on the market, the concept of cosmetic claims is discussed.
