Question: 1 / 555

Which skin type requires less steam and heat during treatments?

Dry

Oily

Sensitive

Sensitive skin types require less steam and heat during treatments primarily because they are more reactive and prone to irritation. Sensitive skin often has a compromised barrier or increased reactivity to external stimuli, including temperature changes. Therefore, subjecting this skin type to high temperatures or prolonged steam exposure can exacerbate sensitivity, leading to redness, discomfort, or further irritation.

In contrast, dry skin can benefit from steam and heat as these treatments help hydrate and stimulate circulation, while oily skin often responds well to heat for the cleansing of pores. Normal skin can tolerate a range of treatments, including steam, but does not require it to the same extent as dry skin. Understanding these nuances helps estheticians tailor their treatments to provide the safest and most effective care for clients based on their specific skin types.
