Sensitive skin needs protection, not more products: dermatologist

Sensitive skin prone to redness, dryness and itching needs more protection and less experimentation, says Dr Smriti Naswa Singh, consultant dermatologist at Fortis Hospital Mulund. Rather than piling on products or chasing trends, she recommends a simple routine that shields skin from sun and environmental stressors during the day and supports gentle recovery at night to keep the skin barrier healthy.
