Sensitive Skin vs Sensitised Skin: Do You Know the Difference?

Sensitive Skin vs Sensitised Skin: Do You Know the Difference?

Redness, discomfort, burning? That doesn’t always mean “sensitive” skin. At BELAMÉRES, we use scan-based diagnostics to distinguish between sensitive skin and sensitised skin — because they need different treatments.

What is sensitive skin?

  • Genetic condition, lifelong
  • Thin, reactive skin prone to flushing and irritation
  • Often co-exists with rosacea or eczema

What is sensitised skin?

  • Temporary condition caused by environment, products or stress
  • Inflamed due to barrier damage or overload
  • Can happen to anyone, even oily skin types

How we diagnose the difference

Using our ultrasound scan, we analyse:

  • Inflammation depth
  • Hydration levels
  • Barrier function
  • Product reaction zones

What to do for each condition

Both require barrier protection and calming — but with tailored methods.

  • Fairy Frost Facial – deeply hydrating and gentle
  • Low-Level Laser Therapy – reduces inflammation without friction
  • GERNÉTIC Cytobi or Immuno
  • BEAUTÉ PACIFIQUE X-tra Dry Skin Fix

Most importantly, we adapt your protocol as your skin evolves — and re-scan to track the results.
