Why is my skin so sensitive all of a sudden?

It depends – your skin can become more sensitive for a number of reasons. It could be that a new moisturiser or fabric softener isn’t agreeing with your skin or perhaps you’ve changed your diet recently. Hormonal changes such as menopause can also play a role here so it might be worth considering this area too.

I would look into these factors and, in the meantime, you could try switching to a natural moisturiser with inherent anti-inflammatory properties to help alleviated some of the redness and inflammation. Our soothing Neem Cream might be a good option here as it’s an excellent choice for dry, sensitive skin and can help to take away many of the typical symptoms associated with a flare-up.
