In today's world, taking care of our skin has become more important than ever. However, with so many products available in the market, it can be difficult to choose the right one for your skin type. Many people believe they have sensitive skin, but that may not always be the case. That’s why I’ve written this article to help you understand the different skin types and conditions, their symptoms, and the types of products or ingredients you should look for in a product to meet your specific skin type. By the end of the article, I hope you’ll have a better idea of your skin type and be able to choose the right products to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
Aging & Mature Skin refers to the natural process of skin changes that occur as we get older. Our skin loses elasticity and becomes thinner, making it more prone to wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and a loss of elasticity and firmness. While aging is a natural part of life, there are steps that you can take to help keep your skin looking healthy and youthful. To combat these signs of aging, it's important to use products such as our Ageless Glow that contain ingredients like Bakuchiol, a friendlier Retinol alternative, Truly Perfect Serum with Prickly Pear and Hibiscus-Cranberry Body Polish. These ingredients can help stimulate collagen production, brighten the skin, and improve moisture levels. Additionally, using a daily sunscreen with at least SPF 30 can help to prevent further damage from UV rays.
Combination Skin appears to be both oily and dry. Your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) are oily but the cheeks and other areas are dry. Combination skin requires a balance of products that addresses both oily and dry areas. Look for gentle cleansers, such as our Deep Cleansing Oil, and Hibiscus-Cranberry Body Polish and Rosa Toner/Mist that won't clog your pores or strip your skin of its natural oils. Follow up with our lightweight moisturizing body oils. Don't forget to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further damage.
Dehydrated Skin lacks moisture. It can be caused by various factors such as weather, diet, and skincare routine. Your skin can feel tight, itchy, and look dull. Dehydrated skin requires products that can help to restore moisture and hydration. Our oil-based products can help to lock in moisture and prevent further water loss, leaving the skin feeling nourished and moisturized. Additionally, our hydrosol toners and mists can help to replenish the skin's moisture barrier and improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. Lastly, be sure to drink plenty of water and avoid harsh, drying products that can further dehydrate your skin.
Dry Skin is a common skin condition that occurs when the skin loses its natural oils and moisture. Your skin will feel tight, itchy, and rough to the touch. Dry skin is caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, weather conditions, and certain medications. It is important to use mostly oil-based products like our Body Butters and Body Balms made with Shea Butter and nourishing oils for maximum hydration to the skin. They are rich in vitamins and fatty acids that help to moisturize and protect the skin from environmental factors, leaving it soft and supple.
Oily Skin is characterized by an excess production of sebum, the natural oil that lubricates and protects your skin. This can result in a shiny appearance, enlarged pores, and a tendency to develop acne and other blemishes. It's best to use products that are oil-free and non-comedogenic such as our hydrating toners and mists that won’t clog your pores. Proper skincare and lifestyle habits can help manage oily skin and promote a healthy complexion.
Normal Skin is often considered the ideal skin type because it is well-balanced and has a healthy glow. It is neither too oily nor too dry, and has a smooth texture with small pores. Normal skin also tends to be less prone to breakouts and other skin issues. Normal skin can benefit from a simple routine with gentle, hydrating products. However, it's important to remember that every skin type is unique and beautiful in its own way.
Sensitive Skin is easily irritated by various factors such as environmental triggers, skincare products, and even certain fabrics. If you have sensitive skin, you know how easily it can be irritated, leading to redness, itching, and dryness. To prevent further irritation, it's important to use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh ingredients. Our Truly Perfect serum and Hydrosol toners, mists and sprays can be a great option for sensitive skin as they are typically gentle and soothing. Although these products contain natural ingredients, it's important to check the ingredients list to ensure that there are no potential irritants. Everyone's skin is unique and may require different types of care. Also, we recommend a patch test in a small area of skin before using a new product all over your face.
Our handmade natural skincare products are perfect for all skin types and provide a range of benefits. We use only natural plant-based and plant-derived ingredients, avoiding harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances that can irritate your skin. Our ingredients are carefully chosen for their properties, such as soothing, hydrating, and helping protect the skin from environmental factors. We believe our plant-derived skincare is a popular choice for those who prefer natural products and can be an excellent option for those with sensitive skin.
