Week 7 - Skin Care 1 - Enzymes & Fitzpatrick Scale Skin Typings
This Fitzpatrick skin type is very common, fair, eye and hair colour varies, sometimes burns with gradual tanning
type III
In skin care Enzymatic exfoliation can come in the form of a creamy paste or also in a powder form that needs to be blended with water. In both cases the Enzymes stay active by staying moist. tf
t
This Fitzpatrick skin type is very fair, light-coloured eyes and hair, freckles, and always burns, never tans:
type I
The Fitzpatrick scale also indicates intrinsic sensitivity with type I & II tending to be more reactive to external & topical substances and showing erythema, as well as exposure to environmental, sun, heat, cold, wind, etc. tf
t
Those with a higher Fitzpatrick level are also prone to Keloid scarring. tf
t
In a darker skin type, PIH can occur after acne lesions or any injury to the skin. tf
t
The Fitzpatrick scale is a method of skin typing which measures and labels the tolerance of different skin types to the sun's burning rays but it can also indicate a client's tendency to PIH or intrinsic/natural sensitivity levels. tf
t
When using a mechanical exfoliant on a Fitzpatrick skin type I and II one can make it more gentle with the use of steam which will help prevent the development of PIH on this skin type. tf
f
Protein dissolving enzymes that work on the keratin in skin cells are known as keratolytics tf
t
PIH stands for Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and can result in both Hyperpigmentation and Hypopigmentation, but usually it is Hyperpigmentation problems. tf
t
This Fitzpatrick skin type is Mediterranean Caucasian; medium to heavy pigmentation – medium brown, rarely burns, typically tans
type IV
The Fitzpatrick Scale indicates not only sun damage susceptibility but in Esthetic skin care it is also used to help select treatments and determine their results because it helps to indicate what two things
Inherited sensitivity and potential pigmentation problems
Pancreatin is an enzyme that is most suitable to use on a client who is a vegetarian or a vegan tf

f
There is a good risk of pigmentation problems in what Fitzpatrick skin types?
IV-VI
Fitzpatrick skin types I, II, and III are prone to Hyperpigmentation from harsh, aggressive, or irritating treatments. tf
f
Using an aggressive chemical exfoliant to dissolve keratin, desmosomes and intercellular cement may be overly aggressive on a Fitzpatrick skin type V and VI resulting in barrier function problems and possibly PIH tf
t
