What is YOUR SKIN TYPE?
Knowing what kind of skin type you have will help you choose the skincare routine best suited for your needs.
Please keep into consideration, your skin type can change as you age so it’s best to pick the routine that suites your skin as it is now.
What is Dry Skin?
Classic sign that your skin is dy is when your skin feels tight and dry right after washing.
You face dries down by mid day and you may experience some flaking and dull looking skin.
Your pores are typically small but you can have a little shine or oil in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) area.
Skin does better in warmer/humid climates.
What is Normal Skin?
Normal skin doesn’t feel too oily or too dry, it feels normal after cleansing.
Your face feels good throughout the day without needing to add extra hydration or use blotting sheets.
Your pores and texture are good although you can have a slight oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin)typically in the summer months.
WHat is Oily Skin?
Oily skin feels very oily within a few hours after washing the skin.
Your skin always feels oily by midday and your pores are larger in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), including the upper cheek area.
You find it difficult to find a moisturizer that isn’t too much and typically skip using it (although a light one is recommended specially with an SPF during the day).
What is Combo Skin?
Typically, combo skin is the two extremes between tight and dry skin typically in the low cheek area, while the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) are very oily.
The pores around your T-zone are noticeable.
You have a hard time finding a moisturizer that isn’t too rich or not rich enough for your skin.
What is Rosacea Skin?
Rosacea is consider a chronic inflammation/redness of the skin that occurs around the nose, cheek and chin area.
You have broken capillaries around the nose and cheeks and may experience pimples over these areas that are difficult to treat.
The skin is highly sensitive and reactive. What works one day can suddenly change and become an issue the next day.
For some, they will have flare ups from time to time while others may only have very minor redness with little to no flare ups.
It is important to have your Doctor or Dermatologist look at your skin to determine if you do have Rosacea as other skin conditions can appear to be similar but will require a different type of skincare routine.
What is Acne Skin?
Acne is a skin condition that affects all skin types (dry, combo or oily skin).
This is when the hair follicles on the face become blocked or clogged by oil and dead skin cells.
Pores appear large, often filled with excessive sebum which looks like black heads. Pustules, papules (whiteheads) are also present which typically are seen over the entire face, neck and sometimes chest and back area.
This skin condition is typically seen in teenagers however, for some people, they can struggle with acne skin their entire lives.
Acne is very challenging skin condition and it is highly recommended to seek medical advice as scarring is high for most with this skin condition and may need prescription strength skincare/medication.
Please note: the skincare routines for acne/blemished prone skin is not a treatment for acne skin.
