Identifying & Caring for Your Skin Type
Are you navigating the maze of skincare and seeking to understand your skin better?
Skin archetypes can be quite something to navigate through but it gets a little easier when you start to understand them better.
There are five main categories: normal, dry, combination, oily, and sensitive. Each has its unique characteristics, and understanding yours is the first step to crafting a tailored skincare routine.
Normal Skin: A Radiant Canvas
- Characteristics: Radiant, smooth, well-nourished with no signs of dryness, irritation, or oiliness.
- Tips: Embrace a simple routine with a mild cleanser like our Oil-to-Milk Cleanser and The Milk moisturizer.
Dry Skin: Conquer the Rough Patches
- Characteristics: Rough, sensitive, itchy with flaky skin and tightness.
- Causes: Breakdown of the skin’s barrier, leading to moisture loss
Oily Skin: Taming the Shine
- Characteristics: Shiny complexion, excess oil production, prone to breakouts.
- Causes: Genetic factors, diet, environmental influences, and poor skincare practices.
Sensitive Skin: Handle with Care
- Characteristics: Reactive, burning, stinging, and itchy skin.
- Tips: Start slowly with new products, use gentle cleansers like The Cleanser, and opt for soothing ingredients like Meadowfoam in The Corrective and The Renewal
Combination Skin: Balancing Act
- Characteristics: Oily T-zone, dry patches, and prone to breakouts.
- Tips: Repair the skin’s barrier with ceramides and antioxidants.
Understanding your skin type is the foundation of a healthy skincare routine. Tailor your products, embrace gentle ingredients, and cherish the uniqueness of your skin. Whether it’s normal radiance, dry resilience, oily balance, sensitive care, or combination finesse, your skin deserves the best. Let this guide be your compass on the path to glowing, healthy skin.
