"Hi. My name is Mary Thinnes. I'm a skin care expert and I'll be going over now the third type of skin, which is sensitive skin. With sensitive skin, generally speaking, they have smaller pores. Generally, there skin can tend to be the fairer of the colors of the skin types. The really don't have much oil. Obviously, no blemishes really present, but there skin can only tolerate so much. There, like I said, usually fair-skinned. They can't tolerate a lot of harsh chemicals, harsh products on there skin, and for that matter they can't really do that many professional treatments, as well. They have to be very careful. They do have a tendency to reactions to a lot of products as well. So, that being said, definitely sensitive skin types need to use appropriate skin care because they will aggravate conditions and then they will start to have something that wasn't there before. As far as maybe some blemishes that were a reaction to a certain product because there skin is so sensitive. So, that would be the sensitive skin type."
