Common questions
Can I get a facial if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. Tell your esthetician and they will skip steam, scrubs and strong acids in favor of calming, barrier-supporting steps. Sensitive skin often benefits the most from professional care.
What should sensitive skin avoid?
Fragrance, physical scrubs, high-strength acids and hot water. Introduce one new product at a time so you can spot what triggers a reaction.
Is LED safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. LED uses no heat, friction or chemicals, which is why it is the go-to for calming reactive skin.
What should I do when my skin feels sensitive?
Strip the routine back to a gentle cleanser, a rich moisturizer, and sunscreen. Add actives back slowly after two to four calm weeks.
