A great many people have sensitive skin. And it's understandable. In between harsh pollutants in the air, the food we eat, and damaging UV rays, skin has become more sensitive to the environmental stressors we've created.
The problem is -- clients with sensitive skin may not always know it. That's why it's important to have skincare products in stock that are gentle and specifically formulated for sensitive skin types.
Identifying Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin is a term that is used a lot when we discuss skincare but what does it really mean? For many, it means acne-prone skin. For others, it just means a sensitivity to skin products.While the definition may vary from person to person, scientifically sensitive skin types have a few common traits:
- Prone to redness/irritation
- Skin allergies (hives, rashes)
- Pre-existing skin conditions, such as psoriasis or rosacea
- Breakouts that are sensitive to specific triggers (a type of food, stress)
- A heightened sensitivity to acidic products
- Skin that easily dries out
Sensitive skin can be difficult to spot if the client is not fully aware of their triggers. In order to determine if your client has sensitive skin, you should ask about their experiences with AHAs, salicylic acids, and benzoic acid. Also, be sure to ask if they can think of any possible cause to their skin problem has their skin always been this way? Or, has it just started being more sensitive to something specific?
