I’ve been thinking a lot about how vital it’s to accurately analyze skin types before recommending treatments. For instance, knowing the difference between dehydrated and dry skin can really change the game when customizing a skincare routine. What methods do you all use for skin analysis in your practice, and how do you ensure clients get the right products for their specific needs?
I totally agree that recognizing the difference between dehydrated and dry skin is crucial. In my practice, I always recommend using a hydrating serum as a base for clients with dehydrated skin, as it helps them retain moisture better. This approach has really helped my clients see improved results.
I usually do a visual assessment combined with texture tests — it’s surprising how often clients mix up dehydrated and dry skin! @mariel_sato, how do you guide your clients on this?
