Knowing Your Skin
To understand how awesome these products are,
we first need to understand what is going with our skin.
Did you know?
Skin is the largest organ of human body. Total area of about 20 square feet.
The Epidermis
The outermost layer of skin
Provides a waterproof barrier and creates skin tone.
The Dermis
The middle layer of skin
Contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.
The Hypodermis
The deeper subcutaneous tissue
Made of fat and connective tissue.
-
80% of the visible signs of aging is caused by environmental exposure.
-
Environmental stressors such as UVA/UVB, Cigarette smoke, toxins/chemicals, irritation, emotional stress, blue light create skin damaging free radicals.
-
Free radicals result in oxidative stress, which can damage DNA and accelerate skin aging.
Now that we know what is going on under the skin, what about on top of the skin?
Do you know what type of skin you have?
Let’s refresh again on your skin type and let us help you take the best care of it!
People with oily skin typically have these concerns:
- Overall face feels oily
- Prone to breakouts and blemishes
- Makeup needs continual touch-ups throughout the day
Those with normal/combination skin will often have:
- Cheeks feel dry, while your nose, forehead, and chin (your T-zone) feel oily
- Fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes and clogged pores on your nose and chin
- Makeup on your nose and chin needs a mid-afternoon touch-up
People with dry skin typically find their:
- Face feels dry and tight all over
- Dull and uneven complexion with fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes and mouth
- Makeup flakes off by mid-afternoon
Now you’ve identified your skin type, let’s identify the suitable skin care system for you!
Here's some indicators to take note on.
