Patients with sensitive skin often pose a problem for skincare specialists. First, as their complaints are often subjective — burning, itching, tightness, and tingling, which cannot be seen with the naked eye — it is not always clear what to work with and how to diagnose and evaluate the therapy outcomes. Second, for many people, skin hypersensitivity is typically initiated by cosmetics, which is the main skincare tool, so skincare practitioners may avoid such clients who likely expect cosmetics used in treatment to only make things worse. Yet, this is not the case, as the right cosmetic care and treatment can take away the unpleasant symptoms, thereby contributing to a significant improvement in the quality of life for people with sensitive skin. This book was created to help dermatologists and other skincare professionals better understand this syndrome, allowing them to tailor their correction protocols to each case. For this purpose, we have gathered as much up-to-date information as possible, given that research in recent years has helped to make significant advances in our understanding of this condition. Why do not all patients with sensitive skin have problems with the skin barrier, even though it was previously considered a "must"? Why is hypersensitivity present even though a reduction in nerve endings is found in many patients? Does the microbiome influence the development of sensitivity symptoms, and what are the dangers of psychological stress? You will find the answers to these and other questions in our new book. This is important knowledge and new nuances presented within these pages will help you build a truly effective therapy. The main part of the book is devoted to building an effective care strategy for sensitive skin. For this purpose, all complex treatment approaches are considered, from limiting triggers, protection, and cleansing, which are very specific to this condition, to modern therapeutic modalities that affect each of the mechanisms of sensitive skin pathogenesis. As all of them have their own nuances, these will also be discussed in detail. In addition, the peculiarities of diagnosing this condition and how to distinguish it from other skin pathologies — atopic, allergic, contact dermatitis, and rosacea — are provided. Separate sections are devoted to the problems of skin sensitivity with age-related changes, the possibilities of correcting the symptoms of sensitive scalp, as well as psychological help to patients which can be provided by a skincare specialist. These issues are rarely talked about, but addressing them greatly improves the condition of patients with sensitive skin syndrome. Given the wealth of information presented in this book, it will be useful to dermatologists and skincare specialists working with individuals experiencing sensitive skin problems, as well as all interested parties. Of course, it will also help people with sensitive skin to evaluate advertising claims in a balanced way and to base their skincare on reliable information.

In this surprising and remarkably practical book, Dr. Skotnicki reveals the harmful effects of modern skincare habits and provides a step-by-step guide to preserve the microbiome, fight aging and develop beautiful, problem-free skin. Women, men and children are having more skin problems today than ever before. Sensitive skin prevalence has skyrocketed, and the number of people reacting to cosmetics is climbing. Why? Dermatologist Sandy Skotnicki argues that the cause is a key element of our contemporary lifestyle: the grooming and beauty habits that the advertising and personal-care product industries have encouraged us to pursue. Those miraculous cleansers, creams and balms we're buying to protect our outer layer may actually end up harming the body's largest organ. In Beyond Soap, Dr. Skotnicki argues that the best state for normal skin is the natural state—the one that avoids disturbing the skin's protective barrier and the bacteria that accompanied the body throughout its evolution. A combination of diagnosis and prescription, Dr. Skotnicki explains the problem with society's current cleansing and beauty habits, then provides a practical guide on how to fix things with a 3-step product-elimination diet that will help you remove unnecessary and potentially harmful ingredients from your beauty and skincare regime, returning the skin to the condition nature intended. Beyond Soap also includes indispensable advice on how to wash and care for the skin of adults, babies and children, followed by a common-sense beauty regimen intended to stave off aging, reduce skin problems and return the face and body to its natural glow.

Comprehensive skincare with the help of cosmetic products is the key to maintaining health and youthfulness. Even the most unproblematic skin needs care with properly selected cosmetic products that preserve the skin's own resources and help resist external influences that accelerate aging. Moreover, any popular injection or physical treatment can give maximum effect only if the patient consistently follows a professional and home-based skincare regimen. This is the responsibility of the skincare practitioner, who must be able to not only perform the cosmetic procedure but also help select and explain to the patient the importance of using suitable products for their skin type. This book is dedicated to a detailed review and justification of the importance of all stages of cosmetic care for different skin types — preparation with cleansers and exfoliants, intensive action aimed both at stimulating metabolic processes in the skin and solving various aesthetic problems (e.g., rejuvenation, whitening), and completion of procedures with active cosmetic agents, thereby consolidating the results and increasing the renewed skin's protective potential. We explain in detail how classic and modern products work and why they can be used in some cases and are undesirable in others. We further discuss the most common questions that arise from skincare practitioners and their patients. In addition, separate sections of the book are devoted to skincare for the eyelids, lips, and hands. The book is useful to all professionals working with skin — long-time specialists and novice skincare practitioners, dermatologists, and consultants in selling skincare products, as well as students. In addition, it is of interest to all people who want to have healthy and youthful skin — the publication will expand their understanding of what a beautician does, and why it is so important to provide the necessary care for the skin, and, of course, what exactly it should be.

Rosacea on average affects 5% of all people on Earth, and couperosis — a problem for a considerable number of fair-skinned people that catches up with them, if not in their youth, then as they age — is one of the symptoms of photoaging. Therefore, any specialist working with skin cannot avoid "encountering" these conditions. However, even though rosacea was regarded exclusively as a dermatological problem for a long time, and couperosis was deemed virtually impossible to cope with, modern research and developments in the field of dermatology give specialists a variety of working tools to correct these unpleasant aesthetic defects. The specialty of our book is that we look at cosmetic approaches that can help patients with rosacea and couperosis. We not only vouch that these approaches work but know from experience that cosmetic care can slow down the progression of these diseases. Thus, it not only saves patients from aggressive dermatologic treatment but also significantly improves their quality of life. This publication will detail the current understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of rosacea. We consider these facts important to know because recent research has dramatically changed the primary image of the disease and the treatment approaches. We now understand that what used to be considered a cure by dermatologists may sometimes worsen the skin condition of rosacea patients. We will thus examine in detail how to build a primary therapy based on these modern findings, what methods and products can be used, and what should be excluded from therapy and care programs offered to patients with rosacea. The same applies to couperosis, as we will once again explain this condition and how it differs from rosacea, allowing specialists to apply the most effective therapy, particularly laser treatment. How do these methods work? How to prepare and protect the skin? Whether there is an effect from topical and injectable methods (and what kind of effect)? All these questions are discussed in detail in the relevant sections. This book is a must-read for all specialists in aesthetic medicine, students pursuing degrees in dermatological specialties, and even patients who want to effectively resolve the problems of rosacea and couperosis.
