Hale & Hush products and education address the wide spectrum of issues your sensitive clients present. It can range from periodic sensitivity from stress, environment, hormones, and chemical irritants —all the way to chronic sensitivity from serious health or disability challenges, and the treatments or medications that accompany them. Unlike other sensitive skin lines, however, we also utilize gentle but highly therapeutic ingredients to repair and promote a healthy skin barrier. This is critical to prevent premature aging due to the dryness, fragility and overall cellular stress experienced by sensitive skin. We also offer education and marketing support to treat the sensitive skin client.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/haleandhush Instagram https://www.instagram.com/haleandhush/ website www.haleandhush.com   About Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP):   Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) is the nation's largest association for skin care professionals and your ONLY all-inclusive source for professional liability insurance, education, community, and career support.
