Calm, Soothe, and Strengthen — Sensitive Skin Treatments in Huntington Beach
If your skin often reacts with redness, burning, itching, or stinging, you may be dealing with sensitivity. Sensitive skin needs a gentle, barrier-focused approach — and at Brightside Esthetics, that’s exactly what we specialize in. Our goal is to calm irritation, rebuild your skin’s protective barrier, and help your skin feel comfortable again.
Understanding Sensitive Skin
“Sensitive skin” isn’t one single condition — it’s a tendency to react more easily than normal. It can affect anyone and may be constant or flare up at certain times.
Common signs of sensitivity include:
Redness or flushing
Burning or stinging sensations
Itching or tightness
Dry patches or flaking
Visible capillaries or inflammation after product use
Sensitive skin often goes hand-in-hand with conditions like rosacea, eczema, or barrier damage.
What Causes Skin Sensitivity?
Sensitivity can develop over time or be something you’ve always had. Common triggers include:
A weakened skin barrier (often from over-exfoliation or harsh products)
Environmental stressors (sun, wind, pollution, dry air)
Stress, hormones, or illness
Genetic predisposition
Inflammatory skin conditions like rosacea or eczema
At Brightside, we focus on healing your barrier first — so your skin can tolerate treatments and products safely again.
