What is my skin types?

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.

4 Steps To Sensational Skin
1 Cleanse. Removes any makeup or dirt from the skin.
2 Correct. Apply for skin's special needs -- eyes, acne, brown spots, lines or wrinkles.
3 Hydrate Restores moisture to your skin.
4 Protect. Defends your skin from environmental factors that lead to premature skin aging.

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.

Below, you will find a suggested regimen that will be tailored to your skin by a skin care professional.

2. Correct - Glycare 10, Vit-A-Plus Eye Cream / Vit-A-Plus Glycare 10,Vit-A-Plus Eye Cream,Vit-A-Plus Night Recovery

3. Hydrate - Advanced Hydrating Complex Gel / Advanced Hydrating Complex Gel

4. Protect - SPF30 / -


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.

Below you will find a suggested regimen that will be tailored to your skin by a skin care professional.

Morning / Evening

1. Cleanse - Facial Cleanser / Facial Cleanser

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.

Below you will find a suggested regimen that will be tailored to your skin by a skin care professional.

1. Cleanse - Sensitive Skin Cleanser / Sensitive Skin Cleanser
