Understanding Sensitive Skin
When your barrier is under stress
Redness, stinging, flushing, and tightness are often signs of a stressed skin barrier. Rosacea-prone skin, over-exfoliated skin, and naturally sensitive skin all react more easily to heat, products, and stress. The more irritated the barrier gets, the more reactive skin becomes — so calming it down is the first step toward any other skin goal.
How We Care For It
Gentle treatments that calm, not provoke
Every Classic Facial for sensitive skin is adjusted to how your skin is behaving that day. Depending on your skin, your treatment may include:
Barrier Repair
Soothing, lipid-rich products that help restore your skin’s protective layer.
Lymphatic Techniques
Gentle facial massage that eases puffiness and supports circulation — without overheating the skin.
Simplified Home Care
A pared-back Epicutis routine that removes common irritants and lets your skin recover.
The HSS Difference
Barrier-first was made for skin like yours
Instead of heat, harsh scrubs, or aggressive actives, every step is chosen to reduce inflammation and strengthen your barrier — so your skin grows calmer and more resilient over time.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Estheticians can’t diagnose or cure rosacea, but we can help calm the look of redness and support a healthier barrier with gentle, customized care. If you haven’t been diagnosed, we recommend seeing a dermatologist alongside your facials.
