Here's a dive into six common skin types and how natural skincare can meet their unique needs:
Normal: The holy grail! This balanced skin experiences minimal oiliness, dryness, or sensitivity. Natural, gentle cleansers and lightweight moisturizers are ideal to maintain this dreamboat state.
Dry: This skin type craves hydration! It often feels tight, flaky, and may show fine lines. Opt for natural, gentle, hydrating cleansers and rich moisturizers with natural humectants like hyaluronic acid.
Dehydrated: Unlike dry skin, which lacks oil, dehydrated skin lacks water. It may feel tight but not necessarily flaky. Natural hydrating serums and moisturizers with humectants and emollients are perfect to lock in moisture.
Oily: This skin produces excess sebum, leading to a shiny T-zone and visible pores. Use natural, oil-free, non-comedogenic cleansers and lightweight, oil-controlling moisturizers with natural mattifying ingredients like clay or niacinamide.
Sensitive: This skin type reacts easily to products, experiencing redness, irritation, or stinging. Natural, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formulas are a must, and always patch test new products before applying.
Combination: This is the most common, where different areas have different needs. The T-zone might be oily while the cheeks are dry. Use natural targeted products for each area, like a lightweight moisturizer for the face and a richer cream for cheeks
