How should products be selected for a client with sensitive skin?

Selecting products for a client with sensitive skin requires a careful approach to minimize the risk of irritation or adverse reactions. Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free products are specifically formulated to reduce allergens and irritants commonly found in cosmetics and skincare. These formulations aim to be gentle on the skin, making them ideal for individuals who experience reactions to more typical ingredients.

Hypoallergenic products are designed to be less likely to cause allergic reactions, while fragrance-free options avoid synthetic fragrances that can be irritating or cause sensitivities. This focus on gentleness makes them a better choice for clients with sensitive skin compared to products that may contain alcohol or strong active ingredients, which can exacerbate sensitivity and lead to discomfort.

Multi-purpose products may not always prioritize gentleness, as they can contain a mix of ingredients that may not be suitable for sensitive skin types. Therefore, the best strategy is to focus on hypoallergenic and fragrance-free options to ensure the client's comfort and skin health.
