How to identify Seborrheic or Couperose Skin?

Delicate Oily (Seborrheic): Enlarged pores especially in the T zone area (chin, nasal folds, the area between the eyebrows, and the scalp). Oily scales tend to accumulate in these areas and are often associated with redness, itchiness and discomfort. This is a “reactive” skin type especially to changes in climate(seasonal), unsuitable (especially occlusive) cosmetic preparations, and stress.
Fragile Skin with “broken” capillaries (Couperose): Usually dry, thin, blotchy, delicate skin with a network of visible capillaries close to the skin’s surface.

What is the optimal approach for treating sensitive skin?

1. Avoiding “highly active” or warming treatments (including hot showers or saunas).
2. Avoiding oily, occlusive products because of their warming effect.
3. Protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure is especially important for couperose skin! (Seborrheic skin, on the other hand, may benefit from sun exposure - within safe limits and, maintaining protection!)
4. Gentle exfoliation to remove the scales of seborrheic skin or to encourage the renewal and thickening of fragile couperose skin.
5. Adopting a long-term treatment program based on truly soothing products, that maintain hygienic conditions.
6. A minimalistic approach using a small number of care products can limit adverse reactions.
