And as more clients with skin of color come through your doors, it is crucial to remember that it is rare for a person to be decended from one or two distinct cultural heritages. Instead, more and more clients have a variety of cultural influences in their genetic makeup, and this presents a new and interesting challenge for skin care professionals. As stated by author Michelle Goldsmith, an educator for PCA Skin, in the article “Global Skin: Climbing Your Client’s Family Tree” from the August 2013 issue of Skin Inc., “Because numerous people are of mixed hereditary backgrounds and many color their hair, wear colored contacts and may tan, either via topical products or UV exposure, it is increasingly difficult to determine a client’s heritage based solely on appearance ... It is imperative that skin care professionals understand how the skin functions in those with mixed ancestry. For example, a person who visually appears to be a Fitzpatrick I or II may indeed have a parent or other relative who is a Fitzpatrick IV, V or VI. It would be risky to create a treatment plan for this client based solely on the color of their skin. Therefore, obtaining a thorough history and profile is important for every client. You wouldn’t want to treat this client with ingredients or percentages that are too active. Ask the appropriate questions and never make assumptions based on appearances. A great starting question is: ‘What is your hereditary background based on your parents, grandparents and others?’” By training your team to approach starting consultations in this manner, you will best be able to address clients’ concerns safely and thoroughly.
