What is My Skin Type

Understanding your skin type is the first step in choosing the right skincare. Whether your skin is dry, oily, combination, or sensitive, identifying its characteristics helps you select treatments that truly support skin balance.

 

• too much oil (sebum) results in OILY SKIN     
• too little oil (sebum) results in DRY SKIN
• balanced sebum production results in NORMAL SKIN
• oily T zone and dry cheeks result in  COMBINATION SKIN
• irritated, with temporary/permanent redness show in SENSITIVE SKIN

         * Regardless of skin type, all skins need hydration in the form of a moisturizer.

         * Lack of water in the skin leads to dehydration, fine lines, irritation, sensitivity and, ultimately wrinkles.

          * We cannot change skin types, but we can aim for a balanced production of sebum via the products we use.

           * Dehydration, sensitivity, sun damage, acne are all skin conditions and can be found in all skin types.

We can treat skin conditions, reduce them, even eliminate them by using the correct products.

 

Skin Type Questions

Can skin type change over time?
Yes. Oil production can evolve due to age, hormones, and environment.

Is dehydrated skin the same as dry skin?
No. Dehydration is a lack of water, while dry skin lacks lipids.

Can sensitive skin also be oily?
Yes. Sensitivity is a condition, not a skin type.
