Rationale - The Company
Rationale Skincare is an Australian company wholly owned and operated
by Richard and Greg Parker. Our manufacturing and operational facilities are in Melbourne.
Sensitive skin can be related to impaired barrier function of the skin's surface layers. Without this protection, skin becomes dry and easily
irritated. Barrier function can be diminished through genetic factors,
climatic conditions and skincare products that remove skin lipids (sebum)
and cause irritation.
Help For Sensitive Skin
The Rationale skincare range:
- can assist in fortifying your skin’s vital barrier function
- contains no known irritants or sensitising agents
- is so mild it can even be used after skin resurfacing procedures such as chemical peels, IPL, microdermabrasion and laser.
Our long experience with the unique needs of fragile resurfaced skin makes our products ideal for patients with the most sensitive and reactive skin.
Help For Pigmentation
Pigmentation can be caused by hormonal factors, skin trauma and excessive sun exposure.
Treatment options range from:
- Topical skincare products including sunscreens and
- skin brightening agents
- Prescription medication creams
- Phototherapy — IPL or Laser
Help For Sun Damaged Skin
The detrimental effects of too much sun on skin over time include:
- premature ageing (lines, wrinkles and sagging)
- motley brown pigmentation
- rough texture
- dry, irritated skin
- sallow complexion
- more serious changes to the skin's immune functions that can
lead to skin cancer.
The most important aspect to treating sun damaged skin is sun protection. Evidence suggests that skin can repair itself to a large extent if sun avoidance and rigorous sunscreen use are practised.
Alpha and beta hydroxy acids can be beneficial to sun damaged skin by helping gently exfoliate the outermost layers of rough, dry skin. Topical vitamins A, C & E can also assist in this condition. Over time, they improve skin softness, clarity and moisture levels.
