HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SKIN TYPE
SKIN TYPE is a classification describing your genetic skin attributes.
Skin type is based primarily on how much oil is produced in the follicles from the sebaceous (oil) glands, and on the amount of lipids (fats or fat-like substances) found between the cells.
Skin type is determined by genetics and ethnicity, but it can change over time and with age.
Generally speaking, skin becomes drier with age, because our cellular metabolism and oil production slow down as we get older.
ALL SKIN TYPES NEED PROPER:
- CLEANSING
- EXFOLIATING
- HYDRATING
- MOISTURIZING and
- PROTECTING
THE MAIN 4 SKIN TYPES ARE:

NORMAL SKIN CHARACTERISTICS:

COMBO SKIN CHARACTERISTICS:
- Moderate to high oil production

OILY SKIN CHARACTERISTICS:
