Introduction
Knowing the type of skin
you have will help to determine the products that are best for you. There are
five common skin types -- oily, dry, combo, sensitive and acne. From the following
tabs, you should be able to easily match your skin with your type. Keep a mirror
handy, should you need to observe certain details of your face and neck.
In addition to your skin
type, you will find a suggested 4-step regimen on each tab. Our products are
designed to work together to achieve beautiful skin and follow a 4-step philosophy.

Oily
skin
How do I know if
I have oily skin?
Oily skin has over-abundant
secretion of sebum (oil) from the sebaceous glands and is genetically determined
and influenced by hormones. If your skin secretes excess oil, or if you notice
an obvious shine on your face an hour after cleansing, or if your pores are
clogged, then you have oily skin.

regimen that will be tailored to your skin by a skin care professional.

Dry skin
How can I tell
if my skin is dry?
If your skin feels
taut, flaky or slightly itchy, you have dry skin. This is due to superficial
moisture loss from a lack of water-binding skin lipids. Your skin will appear
normal to fine in texture, yet dull in appearance with no visible follicles.

regimen that will be tailored to your skin by a skin care professional.

Combination skin
How can I be sure
that my skin is combination?
Combination is
the most prevalent skin type. This is determined by the regions on the face
called t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). If they are oily and the perimeters
of the face (cheeks, jawline, neck, eye area) are dry, then you definitely have
combination skin.

Sensitive skin
How can I tell
if I have sensitive skin?
If your skin has
a fine, thin texture with blood vessels very close to the surface, then you
have sensitive skin. Your skin is also easily affected by internal and external
factors, such as cold, heat and air-conditioning, that cause blotches, redness,
dehydration, irritation and increased warmth. Your skin, too, is easily stimulated
by stress and may often react to external stimuli.

coarse, with large follicles (pores), shiny with blocked pores and the presence
of blemishes. It also contains pustules (acne blemishes) with white or yellow
tinged centers. To learn more detailed information click here. (Link to the
