In addition to genetic factors, sensitive skin can also be influenced by a range of environmental and lifestyle factors.
Exposure to harsh environmental factors such as pollution, wind, and sun can cause skin irritation.
The dermis is also home to sensory receptors that are responsible for detecting different stimuli, such as pressure, temperature, and pain. These receptors, called mechanoreceptors, are sensitive to changes in pressure, and they help to transmit this information to the brain.
