Sensitive Skin Considerations Anyone with sensitive skin is likely to be nervous about having a facial. Lancer stipulates that those with sensitive skin should only get facials at dermatology offices. They should also look for treatments that are specifically designed for sensitive skin. Jones says these procedures might follow the "less rule" to stop skin from reacting. This means using fewer products for less time, using less heat and applying less friction.
Hewett says experienced estheticians will be able to tell that skin is sensitive, but it's still important to make the facialist aware of allergies or special considerations. Mention if skin reacts negatively to certain ingredients or temperatures. Most treatments for sensitive skin will avoid using ingredients like very strong acids, alkaline products, artificial ingredients and fragrance, mineral oil and SD alcohols.
