Which skin condition might require sensitive products and techniques during treatment?

Acne
Rosacea
Excess oil
Wrinkles

The correct answer is: Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pustules and acne-like lesions. It affects sensitive skin and can lead to discomfort, making it essential to use gentle products and techniques during treatment. Individuals with rosacea often experience flare-ups triggered by various factors such as temperature changes, certain foods, or skin care ingredients. Using products that are too harsh can exacerbate the symptoms, potentially leading to increased irritation and an escalation of the condition. Therefore, estheticians should prioritize sensitive products that are formulated specifically for rosacea, focusing on calming and soothing ingredients. Gentle application techniques that minimize friction and irritation are also crucial. This careful approach helps manage rosacea effectively, ensuring comfort and better outcomes for the client. In contrast, conditions like acne, excess oil, and wrinkles may allow for a broader range of treatment options and products, as they do not necessarily indicate heightened sensitivity in the way that rosacea does.
