Allergies or sensitive skin? Differences and peculiarities of care
Attention on the details
Constant stress, insufficient or incorrect skin care, as well as the use of low-quality cosmetics lead to the fact that the skin, especially sensitive, stops performing its protective functions. Therefore, the beautician should help her in solving these tasks by choosing the right care.
Hypersensitivity of the skin is a reaction to internal and external factors, which manifests itself in the form of redness, peeling, itching, a feeling of tightness (for example, after washing), as well as burning when applying cosmetics.
Allergy is hypersensitivity of the body's immune system upon repeated exposure to an allergen on an organism previously sensitized by this allergen.
