Sensitive skin is less of a skin type and more of a condition. Most of us have sensitized our skin through environmental factors or over exposure to products and treatments. Additional factors that can contribute to sensitive skin are aging, hormones, ingredient allergies, illnesses, medications and environmental conditions.
The skincare experts here at Skin Deep can help you figure out if you currently have sensitive skin, why, and what treatments will best soothe and restore your skin’s health.
Let’s look at some of the contributing factors of sensitive skin in more detail:
Aging skin is thinner and may be vulnerable to sensitivities due to aggressive treatments and products. You may need to choose treatments and home care products that are gentler to avoid causing inflammation and rashes. You may need to increase, decrease, or change your current moisturizer. Mineral makeup could also be a good choice for sensitive skin as well.
Health-challenged skin may benefit from treatments and products with gentle, hydrating and protective ingredients. Medications may also make the skin sensitive to sunlight and prone to sunburn. A licensed aesthetician will look at all your current products and medications to determine if some changes are in order that could be better for your skin.
In the past, fragrance and spas went hand-in-hand. But with fragrance allergies on the rise, Skin Deep offers many suitable and effective fragrance-free products from Obagi, SkinCeuticals and our own Skin Deep line of skincare products. Our makeup line, Glo Skin Beauty (gloMinerals), is a gentle mineral makeup that will leave your sensitive skin even-looking and healthy.
At Skin Deep we are trained to take care of a huge variety of skin conditions, and we know the best products that really work. If you have sensitive skin we recommend you leave the skincare advice to the experts over here! Our philosophy is “do no harm.” This means we are committed to providing the appropriate treatment and coordinate a home care program to nurture your skin. We would love to customize a skincare plan for you.
