Dr Ritu Gupta was featured on Season 12, Episode 8 of The Beauty Podcast: Sensitive vs Sensitised Skin, a weekly podcast hosted and produced by beauty enthusiasts Carli Alman and Bettina Tyrrell.
Dr Gupta shared her expertise on sensitive and sensitised skin, two terms that are often used interchangeably. She discussed symptoms, causes, treatments, and skin care for both skin types. Sensitive skin is skin prone to irritation which starts in childhood, whereas sensitised skin is an acquired condition mostly due to exposure to irritants, pollution, and incorrect practices. Dr Gupta also pointed out that taking long hot showers and using harsh products often lead to sensitised skin.
When asked if sensitive skin can be cured, Dr Gupta answered yes. She highlighted possible treatments but stressed further avoiding chemical exfoliants, taking shorter showers, and frequent moisturising as the best ways to control sensitive skin.
Towards the end of the podcast, Dr Ritu explains the skin tends to regenerate slowly as one ages. Thus, individuals must understand how to care for their skin as they age and make regular skin checks part of their regimen, especially for sensitive or sensitised skin.
