Being aware of what can affect skin will help skin care professionals determine why a client may be experiencing skin challenges. Often, skin conditions are due to more than just one influence. It is important that the professional is able to evaluate and identify both external and internal factors to help improve or correct the skin condition. Allergies, reactions, medications, medical conditions, and other extrinsic factors as well as habits, diet, lifestyle, and stress can all be reflected in skin’s health and appearance. Additionally, lack of exercise and sleep, tobacco and vapor use, and drug use will also have negative effects both inside and out. Sun damage is the main extrinsic cause of aging. Primary conditions, such as acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation, are the main conditions that clients are seeking help for as well as sensitive or reactive skin, rosacea, eczema, hypertrichosis, and psoriasis as they continue to have lasting effects on clients.
