What is a characteristic of couperose skin?

  1. Presence of excessive oil

  2. Redness and distended capillaries

  3. Dehydration and dryness

  4. Normal skin with no visible issues

The correct answer is: Redness and distended capillaries

Couperose skin is characterized by pronounced redness and the presence of distended or broken capillaries, especially in sensitive areas of the face. This condition typically arises from factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and environmental irritants, leading to poor circulation and inflammation. The visibility of these capillaries is a key sign that differentiates couperose skin from other skin types, as it indicates compromised blood vessels near the surface of the skin. Recognizing this characteristic is essential for estheticians to provide appropriate treatments and skincare recommendations that can help manage the condition and improve the skin's appearance over time.
