How to determine your skincare type
Knowing what care category your skin falls in will help you know what it needs most
Our skin often doesn’t always fall into the same category, sometimes even on the same day our skin will feel different in the morning than it does in the afternoon, and it will need something completely different before bedtime. We can only do our best to pick the skincare type that is closest to describing how our skin feels the majority of the time.
Some things to consider to help guide you in choosing the skin type category that is closest to your own...
Normal Skin: Basically healthy and Ph balanced. It is neither too oily nor too dry with no skin eruptions and requires only a regular routine for your skincare.
Combination Skin: Characterized by an oily T-Zone area with some dry areas on the rest of the face. It is a fine skin texture with fine pore size. Oiliness usually occurs within 2-3 hours after a thorough cleansing of the forehead, nose, and chin area.
Combination / Sensitive Skin: Reacts to environmental stimuli usually due to poor cellular respiration. Rashes and sporadic breakouts occur on the cheeks and chin near mucous membranes. Circulation is usually sluggish, attributing to a pale or sometimes sallow appearance.
Oily Skin: Beyond the T-Zone oiliness, the skin is not toxic, but naturally produces excess sebaceous matter. This condition is usually characterized as larger than normal pores and more regular breakouts due to excess oil.
Oily / Sensitive Skin: Suffers from poor cellular respiration and reacts to environmental surroundings. Skin is usually oily and borderline problematic. Pores are on the larger size and again the appearance is usually pale or sallow. This is a very common skin type.
