Everyone has a skin type and there are so many different phases our skin goes through in a lifetime that it can often change without warning.
If you’ve had the same skin type forever, or are experiencing dryness or oily skin for the first time, we can help. Below we break down the top skin types and how to best treat them for glowing skin!
Dry Skin
Having dry skin means that you produce less natural oils than other skin types and it can dry out the deeper layers of your skin. Because of moisture loss in dry skin, it can cause itching, irritation, redness, flakes, and even make wrinkles look bigger and deeper than they really are. While dry skin can be common from a young age, women over 40 are 10x more likely to experience dry skin that anyone else – and it gets worse with age.
If hydrating skin and minimizing the look of your wrinkles is your goal, you need to take an approach to your entire routine and not just a powerful moisturizer. Start by washing your face with a Lavender Oil Cleanser instead of using soaps that can dry skin out. Your skin will be softer after the first use and it will help your skin retain moisture. Follow with a moisturizer that uses super nourishing ingredients like shea butter and argan. This will help quench skin while working to erase wrinkles.
Oily Skin
Do you ever touch your face and it feels sticky and greasy? That is because you likely have an oily skin type. This means your skin produces more natural oils than it needs and can lead to breakouts, clogged pores, and extreme dullness. You may have heard the skincare myth that you should avoid oily products if you have oily skin, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. If you have oily skin, you need to balance those oils with the right kind of skincare ingredients.
Some of the best ingredients for oily skin are argan oil, which we used in our best selling Repair & Release Cream. It helps to regulate your oil products so that you don’t produce excess oil from your face. Sea buckthorn is another all-star ingredient that is a non-greasy way to deliver hydration to your skin while taming shine and oil. Switching your moisturizer to one with the right ingredients will help deliver wonderful results for your oily skin!
Combination Skin
If some parts of your face are dry and others are greasy, you could be one of the unlucky few to experience combination skin. When you have different types of skin on different areas of your face, it can make it confusing and difficult to know which products to use. If you have combination skin, you can assume there is an imbalance in your skin’s pH levels and your main focus should be trying to even out your skin so you can see the best results.
Evening out your skins oil production might sound complicated but its actually pretty easy with the proper skincare tools! To combat combination skin, opt for a routine that works to restore your skin’s natural pH levels with natural and scientifically proven ingredients. One product won’t solve your combination skin, but using a combo of an oil cleanser, nourishing moisturizer, and proper eye care around your t-zone, you can banish combination skin and control oil in as little as a month!
