“…For example, a large survey of 22 556 women and 557 men, aged 18–80 years, revealed that the frequency of skin sensitivity increased with age, from 35.9% in those aged 18–20 years to 70.7% in those aged 71–80 years. The authors also reported that mild or heavy stress was associated with skin sensitivity 25 . Future surveys in older individuals are therefore of interest to examine the association between stress and skin preaging observed in the present survey of young women.…”

Background Skin aging involves a variety of structural and functional changes, under the influence of various factors. Preaging skin is a relatively new concept describing self‐perceived signs of skin aging that appear in the early 20s–30s and may be triggered by psychological stress. However, it is unclear how young women and healthcare professionals (HCP) understand the association between stress and skin aging. Aims We sought to explore the perceptions of stress‐related skin aging among young women and HCPs. Methods We performed online surveys of 403 young women (18–34 years), 60 dermatologists, and 60 psychologists residing in major cities in China and Japan. Questions covered skin signs, understanding/perceptions of stress–aging connection, and demographics. Young women also completed DASS‐21 to assess their stress level, which was dichotomized as normal or mild–extremely severe. Results The stress level was normal in 52.6% or mild–extremely severe in 47.4% of young women. Greater proportions of women in the mild–extremely severe stress group reported skin manifestations associated with preaging, the top three being “rough skin” (39.3% vs. 24.1%), “slow metabolic rate” (28.8% vs. 14.2%), and “dull skin” (43.5% vs. 29.2%). The top three skin manifestations showing the strongest perceived associations with stress were: “dark eye circles,” “slow metabolic rate,” and “dull skin” (among young women); “acne,” “dry skin,” and “skin rash” (among HCPs). Conclusions Young women frequently report high levels of psychological stress and signs of skin aging. Perceptions of stress–skin aging association differ between young women and HCPs.

“…In a study reported in 2018 conducted in France among 5000 subjects, Misery and colleagues found that 59% of the responders declared they had very or fairly sensitive skin (66% of women and 51.9% of men), and SSS was more common in younger people [51]. In a study in China involving 23,113 individuals, Xiao and colleagues showed a steady decline in the prevalence of SSS in different age groups from 65.8% in the 21-30 age group to 29.3% in the 71-80 age group [67]. A study conducted in Korea showed a similar pattern, with a decrease in the prevalence of sensitive skin from 64.8% in individuals aged 15-29, to 48.7% in individuals ≥ 60 [46].…”

Sensitive skin Syndrome (SSS) is a complex global clinical phenomenon that is defined by the self-reported presence of different sensory perceptions, including tightness, stinging, burning, tingling, pain and pruritus and often without objective signs. Due to the subjective nature of this clinical condition, the diagnosis is complex and there is often a disconnect between what subjects feel and what medical professionals can observe. This chapter reviews the known underlying physiology, some of the triggering factors associated with SSS, co-morbidities as well as the psychological impact on individuals suffering from this condition. The goal is to bridge the gap between the physicians’ understanding and the subjects’ perceptions of this real-life condition that affects so many.

“…1 The prevalence of SS is 49.6% in Chinese women. 2 Over 70% of subjects with SS have erythema, while individuals with pruritus and tingling account for 61% and 39%, respectively. 3 SS negatively impacts quality of patients' lives and imposes a heavy economic burden to both patients and society.…”

BackgroundSensitivity skin (SS) is a common skin disorders, which have a various of clinical manifestation. Facial erythema is common objective symptom of SS. However, the reasons for the occurrence of erythema in sensitive skin are not fully understood.AimsIn this study, we preliminarily explain the possible factors inducing erythema of sensitive skin by evaluating facial erythematous reaction to lactic acid sting test (LAST) and capsaicin test (CAT) in subjects with sensitive skin.MethodsA total of 197 subjects were divided into five groups, that is, normal controls (NC), LAST‐positive (LAST+), both LAST and CAT positive (L+C+), both LAST and CAT negative (L−C−) and CAT‐positive (CAT+). Erythema index (EI), a* value, and tissue viability imaging (TIVI) were measured before and after LAST and CAT, The ΔEI, Δa*, and ΔTIVI before and after LAST and CAT were calculated, and the correlation between the scores of CAT, EI values, a* values, and TIVI values were analyzed to clarify the causes of facial erythema.ResultsOur results showed that EI values and a* values were significantly higher in the L+C+ and CAT+ group than in NC group, TIVI values were higher in the L+C+ group than in NC group. ΔEI and Δa* values after LAST did not differ significantly among five groups. However, ΔEI values in L+C+ group were higher than that in L−C− group, while Δa* values were higher in CAT+ group than in NC. Moreover, ΔTIVI values in L+C+ group and CAT+ group were also significantly higher than that in NC group after capsaicin stimulation. CAT scores correlated positively with EI, a* and TIVI values.ConclusionOur results suggest that sensitive skin subjects with positive CAT are more likely to experience erythema reactions, and vasodilation is more pronounced after capsaicin stimulation. Reducing vascular and neural hyperreactivity could be therapeutic target in management of facial erythema in subjects with sensitive skin.
