Sensitivity in Philadelphia, PA

What is Sensitivity?

Sensitive skin is characterized by heightened reactivity to internal and external triggers. It may feel uncomfortable, sting, burn, or become red when exposed to certain products, weather changes, or stress. Sensitive skin is often a sign of a compromised skin barrier, meaning the skin is less able to protect itself and retain moisture.

Anyone can have sensitive skin, whether it’s oily, dry, acne-prone, or aging, and it can be temporary or long-lasting. When the barrier is compromised, irritants get in more easily, causing redness, irritation, and discomfort.

Symptoms 

• Redness or flushing
• Stinging, burning, or itching sensations
• Dryness or tightness
• Increased reactivity to skincare products
• Inflammation or irritation after treatments
• Breakouts triggered by stress or product changes

Causes

• Over-exfoliation or aggressive treatments
• Harsh or fragranced skincare products
• Environmental stressors such as cold, heat, sun, or pollution
• Hormonal fluctuations
• Stress and lack of sleep
• Compromised skin barrier or dehydration

What Our Clients Say

Testimonials From Our Clients

I had an excellent experience! Shireen was thorough and attentive. She explained every step of the way that made me very comfortable and I knew exactly what is being done and for what purposes. I left feeling clean, refreshed and I am looking forward to my future visits and my skin transformation journey!

Shireen is simply the best! I came to Skin House Facial Bar for a wedding plan & couldn’t be happier! Each treatment was truly catered to me. Shireen knew so much about what she was doing and made sure she educated me on the way. Everyone is so sweet and caring. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

I have been going to Skin House for almost 3 years and my skin has completely transformed. I previously dealt with sensitivity and early rosacea as well as breakouts, and now I get compliments on my perfect skin daily!

Skin House Facial Bar is top notch! The entire team is wonderful. If you would like a totally refreshing facial that leaves you glowing, maybe check this lovely place out. I made a second appointment before I left.

Just did the RF Skin Tightening and Microneedling to prepare for my wedding. Did 3 sessions and I’m lifted — it’s subtle but noticeable. I got exactly what I was looking for and Shireen and Cristina explained every step. My money and time is always well spent here.

I can’t say enough good things about Shireen! This was hands down the best skincare experience I’ve ever had. You can genuinely feel how passionate she is about what she does—and how much she cares about her clients. Thank you, Shireen, for such a unique and wonderful experience!

Skin House had so many options, I feel confident that no matter what my concern is they can handle it! Will be back next month!!!
