Treating Sensitive Skin Sensitive skin is all about strengthening, feeding and gentle rejuvenation. Retinols are a great choice for rejuvenating this skin but more importantly is rebuilding and strengthening. Using papaya enzymes, mandelic acid and milk proteins along with infusing vitamins and nutrients is the best approach. A series of advanced targeted facials and progressive treatments will begin to strengthen skin integrity and desensitize the skin, bringing it to a less reactive state. Rejuvenating peels also offer a good support to this type of skin, as the regeneration stimulates new, healthy cells to surface. Treating Rosacea Rosacea skin typically tolerate BHA's better than AHA's. In the treatment room, the goal for rosacea clients is to reduce redness and sensitivities without over stimulating the underlying infl ammation. This is achieved primarily through the use of "rosacea friendly" ingredients, and through targeted facials and peels, as well as techniques that increase overall circulation like, O2 applications, LED, and stimulating the lymphatic system. Flower acids provide cellular support as well as exfoliation. These are excellent for rebuilding and supporting rosacea skin. Salicilyic acid offers healing and rejuvenation giving you a great tool for roasacea. Stimulating lymphatic fl ow will also work wonders for those challenged by rosacea or infl ammation. When the lymph is clogged, it becomes more diffi cult for the body to purify and cleanse itself, the effects of which can become visible in the skin. Generally, you can get more aggressive with rosacea skin depending on stage and skin needs. For treating sensitive and rosacea skin, look to ingredients that provide the antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-infl ammatory, and skin-building support, such as: + Retinaldehyde + Mandelic acid + Stem cells + Essential fatty acids + Epidermal growth factors + Sea buckthorn oil + Rhodiola root extract While there is overlap between treating these two skin types, proper diagnosis is key. Know the signs of each issue and share that knowledge with your clients. Proper home care and lifestyle choices will impact skin health and if clients know the triggers to avoid and how to properly care for their skin between appointments, you'll be better equipped to reach your shared goal of restoring skin to optimal health.
