Why Is My Skin Red, Sensitive or Reactive?

Sensitive skin is often a sign that the skin barrier has become weakened or compromised. When the barrier isn't functioning properly, skin can become red, irritated, dehydrated and more reactive to products, weather changes and stress.

Common causes include:

β€’ Over-exfoliation
β€’ Harsh skincare products
β€’ Rosacea
β€’ Environmental damage
β€’ Stress and hormonal changes
β€’ Dehydration


At Freya Beauty, our approach is not simply to calm symptoms temporarily. We focus on restoring skin function, strengthening the skin barrier, and helping skin become healthier and more resilient over time.
