The Skin Challenge Spectrum

WHERE DO YOU FALL?

Skin aging falls on one end of the Skin Challenge Spectrum.

The skincare industry sells millions of products each year, promising to lessen wrinkles. However, aging is not a wrinkle… aging is a skin challenge, and a wrinkle is the result of not effectively addressing that skin challenge.

The skin challenges of aging are fought by every human being. Conquering and preventing these challenges is at the heart of the Hale & Hush mission.

Skin sensitivities from medical challenges fall on the other end of the Skin Challenge Spectrum.

The skincare industry spends very little money on product and research to help a large population overcome serious skin sensitivities.

Where do you fall on the Skin Challenge Spectrum? Do you want to reduce and prevent wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, or do you want to improve your skin health while gently healing skin sensitivities?

Whatever your skin challenges, the chemists at Hale & Hush have created one or more products just for you.

AGING ENVIRONMENT HORMONES ALLERGIES DISEASES STRESS INTOLERANCE

AGING

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and becomes thinner and more fragile, which accelerates the formation and deepening of wrinkles. Aging also causes changes in overall skin texture and tone, and instigates the development of age spots, or hyperpigmentation.

ENVIRONMENT

The harmful effects of outdoor and indoor environments (air pollution, UVA/UVB, chemicals, etc.) are extensive. People who live in areas where there is more or less exposure to sun can affect their circadian rhythm of cell renewal. Effects on the skin include dryness, premature aging, skin rashes, eczema, poor or slow healing, and acne.

HORMONES

Hormonal changes due to menopause, pregnancy or birth control pills can cause various reactions. Skin type, sensitivity threshold, and scent or fragrance tolerance might change during these stages.

SKIN ALLERGIES

Some people have reactions to various stimuli (such as natural/artificial compounds, animals, greenery, foods, cleaning agents). If they come into contact with these stimuli, they can experience a range of mild to harsh skin reactions, or “allergic sensitization.” Conditions such as dermatitis and eczema can be the outcome of these reactions.

DISEASES, DISORDERS & MEDICATIONS

People dealing with health challenges frequently have very sensitive skin, from both the condition itself and the medications that treat it. Diseases that can affect the skin may be viral (shingles or roseola), gastric (celiac or Crohn’s), motor neuron (Lou Gehrig’s or Parkinson’s), metabolic (thyroid or diabetes), auto-immune (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or scleroderma). Cancer and cancer treatments are known for their often severe effects on the skin. All of these health challenges can cause the skin to experience one or more of the following conditions: dryness, itchiness, inflammation, irritation, neuropathy, hyperpigmentation, photosensitivity, rashes, blisters and sores.

STRESS

Stress has an unfortunate cyclical relationship with the skin: stress causes skin problems and skin problems cause stress. Stress affects skin by aggravating skin conditions such as premature aging, eczema, psoriasis, acne, allergies and rashes.

COSMETIC INTOLERANCE SYNDROME

Skin can develop a sensitivity due to a combination of factors, one being the over-application of topicals containing irritants, usually on a daily basis. Regular exfoliation using acids or manual means can disrupt or thin the skin barrier and allow for deeper penetration of these irritants, accelerating this process even more.

Whether your skin is at one end of the Skin Challenge Spectrum or the other, or anywhere in between, Hale & Hush has a product created just for you.

HALE & HUSH DIFFERENCE

The BeeDazzle Mask is the perfect addition in the treatment room. I love using it before a diamond tip microderm for clients that need a boost in exfoliation. This mask is super easy to apply and gives great results in a single treatment or series with no down time for the client.
