This section of the Collin brand will address skin conditions rather than skin types.
It includes treatments and products for pigmentation.
The Collin WhitEvidence range works to lighten surface pigmentation whilst preventing it from re-occurring without damaging the skin or bleaching the surface.
Sensitive skin is treated by Collin with Calmo-Derm and, for the first time, skin can be strengthened and treated with anti-ageing properties.
When the skin is dull and lacklustre, oxygenation is needed to bring radiance and life back to the skin. Hydrogenee Cream will do this whilst also being ideal at times of convalescence.
If open skin pores are problematic, the Refiner Pore treatment and homecare serum offers a peachy skin guarantee.
Finally, the delicate eye and lip areas are treated depending on your age and the specific needs of your skin from preventative age right through to correcting the passage of time.
Sensitive skin lacks natural immune defence mechanisms.
There are varying degrees of sensitive skin and it should be ascertained if the skin is sensitive and reacts to products and active ingredients, or if it is simply touch sensitive - i.e. responds to external stimulation e.g touch, heat or alcohol by going red in colour. If it is the latter, then true skin type analysis must be ascertained and the skin treated as such, although strengthening will always help.
Often sensitive skin is of dry tendency, as it has little protection from the skin’s natural lubricant Sebum and environment can aggravate and worsen the problems of sensitivity. Because of this, there is often capillary damage, which gives a high colour to affected areas and the skin may feel thin and papery. Strengthening sensitive skin is the safest way to prevent damage from being long term. This can be achieved with treatments and the correct homecare.
Ageing occurs as maturity is reached, but these changes happen slowly. The signs of ageing arrive in the mid to late twenties, which suggests the process starts in our early twenties and quickens considerably in our thirties.
Sensitive skin ages more quickly than any other and, as the skin ages, so it becomes more sensitive.
It is important to be able to fight the ageing phenomena along with the sensitive issue. It is necessary to heal, calm and soothe, whilst strengthening and treating the five main phenomena associated with sensitive skin (irritation, redness, inflammation, heat and ageing).
When the skin is strong again, you should be able to go over to more active ingredients and protective type products. If cared for properly, the youthfulness of a sensitive skin may be maintained with a soft, supple and calmed complexion. Uncared for skin will lead to problems during the 30-60 age bracket and conditions such as Rosacea may become apparent.
