In this blog, we will dive into all the benefits of facials for people dealing with sensitive skin while also providing products and ingredients most commonly used to help protect those with this skin type.
Understanding Sensitive Skin
Before we dive into the details of what can help sensitive skin, let’s first take a moment to understand the basics and the nature of this skin type. A heightened reaction to certain products, environmental factors, and foods characterizes sensitive skin. Some common issues people with sensitive skin face are redness, itchiness, burning, and they can often develop dry patches or breakouts.
Managing sensitive skin demands more attention and requires a more thoughtful and gentle approach. Since the skin is so prone to being affected by various factors, it’s important to pay attention to the ingredients and products that cause issues, and what your skin benefits from and reacts well to.
Benefits of Facials for Sensitive Skin
Now that we’ve gone through the basics, here are some key benefits of facials for sensitive skin.
Reduction of Redness:
Our Sensitive Skin Facial is designed for all the concerns that people with this skin type face, redness being one of the most common issues. Using LED and Hyaluronic gel with Ultrasound reduces the redness and evens out your skin tone in the long term.
Hydration
Another extremely common issue is dehydrated skin. Our Sensitive Skin Facial utilizes multiple tools to hydrate the skin, ensuring hydration is locked into the skin. First, we use O2 Therapy – a machine that dispenses oxygen solution directly into the skin to increase hydration and create an extremely smooth complexion. Secondly, we use our custom jelly mask – this thick mask sits on your face for approximately 5 minutes to completely hydrate your skin and provide the nourishment your skin is lacking.
Gentle Exfoliation
Our Sensitive Skin Facial only includes a single exfoliation to ensure that the skin isn’t stripped of the natural oils and to avoid irritation. Exfoliation is crucial to remove dead skin and dirt, which leaves a healthy, smooth complexion.
Customized Approach
Our professional estheticians understand that no two people’s skin is the same. Therefore, they take a comprehensive evaluation of each person’s skin and tailor the facial to provide the best methods and products to get the best results.
Gentle Products (or Ingredients) for Sensitive Skin
Here at Silver Mirror, we provide products with ingredients that are very helpful in reducing many of the common issues that people with sensitive skin face.
Aloe Vera
A mineral-rich plant extract that reduces skin reactivity, reinforces the moisture barrier and stimulates natural moisture factor production. The Sanitas Sensitive Skin Cleanser uses Aloe Vera as an ingredient to help soothe the skin and protect it from irritation.
Niacinamide
This ingredient helps refine pores, controls visible oiliness, reduces redness and post-acne marks, and prevents future breakouts. This product is great for helping improve many concerns, and one of them is redness. The Dr. Dennis Gross SuperFood Stress Repair Face Cream, which includes niacinamide, is a great product for sensitive skin.
Centella Asiatica
This is a powerful antioxidant with nourishing properties that help diminish the appearance of premature aging. It also works to soothe the skin of any redness and protect it from irritation in the future. The iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum helps to reduce redness and dry patches with the help of Centella Asiatica.
Techniques for Sensitive Skin Treatment
Light Touch
When estheticians work with people who have sensitive skin, they pay careful attention to how much pressure they are applying to the skin and ensure not to do anything to irritate it. Estheticians practice a lighter touch and often avoid certain techniques altogether if they think it will negatively affect the skin.
Cooling Treatments
Since each facial is tailored to the person’s skin throughout our facial treatments, estheticians will often choose cooling treatments to soothe the skin. For example, they usually use the cool setting rather than the heat setting on the Theraface Pro.
Single Exfoliation
In most of our other treatments, a double exfoliation is used. However, this often leads to irritation and dryness if performed on people with sensitive skin. For this reason, we only use a single exfoliation for our sensitive skin facial.
