9 Derm-Approved Tips for Calming Sensitive Skin

It is recommended that you visit your dermatologist for a basic skin check once a year, as you would your primary care provider, however, you should feel comfortable seeking assistance from your dermatologist more often if you’re experiencing sensitivity. A visit can help you determine whether or not you have an underlying condition making your skin more sensitive, such as eczema (atopic dermatitis), rosacea, etc., Bickle says. “Treating these underlying conditions may help alleviate sensitivity,” she says. “They can also help to delineate sensitivity from an allergy, and may recommend patch testing to help determine what (if anything) you are allergic to.”
