Overview

Patients with sensitive skin usually pose a problem for skincare specialists. First, as their complaints are often subjective - burning, itching, tightness, and tingling, which cannot be seen with the naked eye - it is not always clear how to diagnose and evaluate the therapy outcomes. Second, for many people, skin hypersensitivity is initiated by cosmetics, which is the primary skincare tool, so skincare practitioners may avoid such clients who likely expect cosmetics only to make things worse. This book was created to help skincare practitioners better understand this syndrome, allowing them to tailor their treatment protocols to each case. We have gathered as much up-to-date information as possible, given that research in recent years has helped significantly advance our understanding of this condition. Why do not all patients with sensitive skin have problems with the skin barrier, even though it was previously considered a ""must""? Why is hypersensitivity present even though a reduction in nerve endings is found in many patients? Does the microbiome influence the development of sensitivity symptoms, and what are the dangers of psychological stress? You will find the answers to these and other questions in our new book. The main part of the book is devoted to building an effective care strategy for sensitive skin. All complex treatment approaches are considered, from limiting triggers, protection, and cleansing, which are very specific to this condition, to modern therapeutic modalities that affect each of the mechanisms of sensitive skin pathogenesis.The peculiarities of diagnosing this condition and how to distinguish it from other skin pathologies - atopic, allergic, contact dermatitis, and rosacea - are provided. Separate sections are devoted to skin sensitivity of aged skin, the treatment of the sensitive scalp, as well as psychological help to patients, which can be provided by a skincare specialist.
