What is a skin analysis?

An assessment of skin type for cosmetic products
Identification of structural changes in tissues
A treatment for skin blemishes
The application of a moisturizer

The correct answer is: Identification of structural changes in tissues

A skin analysis is primarily the process of evaluating the condition and characteristics of the skin to tailor treatments and products that will be effective for the individual. This thorough assessment involves identifying structural changes in the skin, which encompasses evaluating factors such as texture, elasticity, pigmentation, and any signs of aging or damage. By understanding these structural aspects, estheticians can recommend appropriate skincare regimens or treatments to address specific needs. In contrast, while assessing skin type for cosmetic products is relevant to skin analysis, it does not encompass the full scope of identifying deeper structural changes. Treating skin blemishes and applying moisturizer are actions taken based on evaluations from a skin analysis rather than the analysis itself.
