All Skin Types

All Skin Types  There are five primary skin types. Oily, dry, normal, combination, and sensitive. Each skin type needs its unique regime to keep it youthful and healthy with natural clarity. Healthy skin doesn’t come naturally with our environment and living conditions. Some skin characteristics’ challenges can make it tricky to manage. Hormones play a big part in the management of teenage skin types. Sun protection and cleansing are paramount in managing —giving your skin the customized care and protection it needs now and for years to come.

Oily skin

Oily Skin generally produces an excess of sebum that causes the skin to feel greasy and have a shiny glow. This oily has excess oil throughout the T-zone Chin, Nose and Forehead areas. Teenagers can experience more sebum flow which causes breakouts if not controlled, causing extra acne blemishes, blackheads, and whiteheads.

Oily skin may hide wrinkles as ageing progresses; however, they are generally more prone to enlarged pores.    

People often need clarification when thinking oily skin produces more natural oils and requires less moisture than other skin types. The skin still needs to be nourished and hydrated. Regular exfoliation is essential to keep the pores clean and healthy and avoid breakouts and enlarged pores. Oily skins respond well to foaming cleansers and gels, which can effectively remove dirt, excess oil, buildup and impurities.

Normal Skin

Normal Skin is generally PH balanced and vibrant and feels neither too dry nor too oily. It is less likely to experience regular breakouts, dryness, or oil buildup. People are blessed to have this skin type; however, maintenance is paramount to keep this skin type. Characteristics of normal skin have smaller pores, a smoother texture, and added clarity. It is also less prone to blemishes and sensitivity. Sunscreen and Hydration maintenance are two essentials to combat the environmental elements to keep this skin, protect moisture and support the skin’s protective barrier.

Dry skin 

Dry skin, produces fewer natural oils than other types of skin. Generally not sensitive but lacking oils. This skin type causes the appearance of dull and flaky type skin. Skin can become flakey and even look irritated and can become itchy. There is often tightness and less elasticity, with visible fine lines.  However,  even a dry skin can become more sensitive if not carefully cared for with extra hydration. It needs regular hydration products to support the skin structure. The skin’s protective moisture barrier needs ceramides and Lipids for moisture retention. 

Sensitive skin 

Sentitive skin can often be tricky, as environmental conditions and chemicals can cause sensitivity. As a child, the skin may have been considered normal but, over time, can become more sensitive to the elements. There are also heredity-sensitive skin conditions.

It’s also possible to have the following:

 Oily sensitive, inflamed skin, 

Dry, scaly and sensitive skin, 

Normal but inflamed and sensitive patches

Symptoms of a sensitivity

reddish appearance

Burning sensation  

Burning, itchy, or dry.  

These symptoms are more likely to be reactions or triggers to chemicals or something you have come in contact with or been near.
