Identifying Your Skin Type

Here’s a quick guide to help you identify your unique skin type so that you can give it the care and attention it needs.

Knowing your skin type is the most important step in achieving healthy, glowing skin at any age. Identifying your individual skin type can help you choose the right products and treatments to make sure that your skin looks its best.

Normal Skin Types: Normal skin types generally have an even balance of oil and moisture, with a smooth texture and few visible pores or blemishes. If you have normal skin, you should use a gentle cleanser, light moisturizer, and SPF protection every day to keep your complexion looking its best.

Oily Skin Types: If your face feels greasy after washing it or if you experience frequent breakouts, then it’s likely that you have oily skin. To keep oiliness under control, look for ingredients like salicylic acid, retinol, and clay-based masks in your skincare routine. Make sure to cleanse twice daily with an oil-free product and apply a lightweight moisturizer with SPF protection when needed.

Dry Skin Types: If your face feels tight after washing it or if it often appears flaky or irritated then there’s a good chance that you have dry skin. When choosing skincare products for dry skin types, look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid which helps draw moisture into the deeper layers of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin).

You should also avoid cleansing too frequently as this can strip away natural oils which are essential for keeping dryness at bay. Look for heavier creams or ointments in place of lotions and serums; these products provide extra hydration while still absorbing quickly into the skin without leaving behind residue or a greasy feel. Finally, always use an SPF 30 or higher daily to protect against sun damage which could further worsen dryness over time.

Characteristics of Sensitive Skin:

Redness: Sensitive skin may exhibit redness, especially in response to environmental triggers or skincare products.

Irritation: Sensitive skin is easily irritated by various factors, including harsh ingredients, fragrances, and weather conditions.

Tightness: Sensitive skin often feels tight or uncomfortable, particularly after cleansing or exposure to irritants.

Dryness: Sensitive skin can be prone to dryness and flakiness, especially if not properly moisturized.

Allergies: Individuals with sensitive skin may be more prone to allergic reactions, such as rashes or hives, when exposed to certain substances.

Tips for Caring for Sensitive Skin:

Use Gentle Products: Opt for skincare products specifically formulated for sensitive skin, free of harsh ingredients like fragrances, alcohol, and sulfates.

Patch Test: Before applying new skincare products to your face, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions.

Avoid Over-Exfoliation: Limit the use of exfoliating products, as they can exacerbate sensitivity. Opt for gentle exfoliants and use them sparingly.

Moisturize Regularly: Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin. Apply moisturizer immediately after cleansing to lock in hydration.

Protect from Sun Exposure: Shield your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen daily. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply regularly, especially if spending time outdoors.

Practice Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your skin with a mild, non-foaming cleanser that effectively removes impurities without stripping away natural oils. Avoid hot water and harsh scrubbing, which can further irritate sensitive skin.

Be Mindful of Environmental Triggers: Minimize exposure to environmental factors that can trigger sensitivity, such as extreme temperatures, pollution, and harsh weather conditions.

Manage Stress: Stress can exacerbate skin sensitivity, so incorporate stress-relieving practices like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine.

Consult a Dermatologist: If you're struggling to manage sensitive skin or experiencing persistent irritation, consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options.

By following these tips and adopting a gentle skincare routine tailored to sensitive skin, you can help soothe irritation, reduce redness, and promote a healthier, more comfortable complexion.

Once you know what type of skin you have, it will be much easier to find effective products and treatments tailored specifically for your needs—but don’t forget about lifestyle changes too! Eating healthy foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fish oil supplements can help boost overall health from within; getting enough sleep; drinking plenty of water; taking regular breaks from technology; exercising regularly; and finding ways to reduce stress are all key components to any successful skincare routine regardless of age or skin type!

Skin type refers to how your skin behaves. Type of Skin are typically classified into five main categories: dry, oily, sensitive, combination, and normal.                                     

1. Dry Skin

Dry Skin feels tight, itchy, or rough throughout the day. You may experience flakiness, peeling, or a dull tone to your face, especially when you’re in colder temperatures. Dry skin is caused by an unproduction of sebum, aka your skin’s natural oil. Yes, some oil is actually good for your skin.

2. Oily Skin

Oily Skin has the opposite problem-it overproduces sebum, which makes your face look greasy or shiny. You may also notice other skin concerns like blackhead or enlarged pores. Every skin type experiences breakouts, but oily skin are more prone to pimples, since those enlarged pores are more easily clogged with excess sebum.

3. Sensitive Skin

Sensitive Skin can appear red or inflamed after coming into contact with stressors, including certain skincare products. Your skin may itch, tingle, or burn after using a product. If you deal with other skin conditions, like rosacea or eczema, there is a good chance your skin is sensitive.

4. Combination Skin

Combination Skin is of at least two of the previous skin types. A lot of people with combination skin have an oily T-zone on the forehead, nose, and chin but dry cheeks. Combination skin just means your skin has different characteristics on different parts of your face.

5. Normal Skin

Normal Skin is balanced. It is neither too dry nor too oily. The overall sebum and moisture content in such a skin is balanced but the T-zone on the forehead, chin and nose may be slightly oily. It is the rarest skin type.

If you’re not sure which category you fall into, there’s an easy way to find out.

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser that has no active ingredients, and then pat it dry with a towel.

Don’t apply any more skincare products. Wait about a half hour, and then see how your skin looks and feels.

If your face is super greasy then you probably have oily skin.

If just your cheeks are dry, then you may have combination skin.

If your face feels rough and tight, you have dry skin.

If your skin is irritated or red, that points to sensitivity.

Using the right products plays a role in maintaining strong, healthy skin on average. For routine skin care, Alicia, the lead of the aulilifestyle Organics Product Support Team, suggests the following:

1. A cleaner

According to Alicia, choosing a purifier for normal skin "has more to do with preference because a regular skin type can get by with a gel, cream, or oil cleaning." She chooses:

Stone Crop Gel Wash is a gel cleanser.

This mild gel cleanser removes pollutants without drying out the skin or pores. Shea butter, stonecrop, and chamomile work together to moisturize, brighten, and balance the skin.

A lemon cleanser for cream cleansers

Use a cream purifier if your normal skin is experiencing an unusual amount of dryness. Our Lemon Cleanser hydrates, tones, and softens the skin using lemon and herb oils.

Stone Crop Cleansing Oil is an oil cleaner.

Try using an oil-based cleanser like our Stone Crop Cleansing Oil for normal to oily skin. This non-greasy cleansing oil removes excess oil and pollutants for a clear complexion. Learn how to incorporate a cleansing oil into your beauty routine by watching the video below:

2. Toner

Like shampoo and conditioner, cleansing and firming complement one another: By providing hydration, moisture, and essential nutrients to keep your skin as healthy as possible, toning completes the cleansing process. For normal skin, combine a moisturizing face mist with the Stone Crop Hydrating Mist, which uses stone crop juice to keep skin clean, fresh, and dewy all day long. Lavender, the other essential ingredient, aids in skin healing and facilitates the appearance of moderately irritated skin.

3. Exfoliation

For a bright, radiant appearance, try the Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant, which is made of rice flour to help absorb oil and buff away dead skin cells. Although salicylic acid gently exfoliates and eliminates impurities to brighten your skin's appearance and delay the emergence of pores, the strawberry ingredient aids in cleansing. Lactic acid exfoliates dead skin cells to refine pores and improve the texture of the skin, while rhubarb is a wonderful source of nutrients and ascorbic acid to fight the appearance of wrinkles.

4. Mask

Our Stone Crop Masque contains a moisturizing stone crop, which has been used for centuries by herbalists to alleviate and firm skin onset. This gel mask incorporates our BioComplex technique, an antioxidant booster, Coenzyme Q10, and Alpha Lipoic Acid to delay the appearance of wrinkles and enhance the general appearance of your skin. Only a small amount should be applied, and it should be left on for five to ten minutes.

5. Serum

By incorporating an antioxidant-rich serum into your daily skincare routine, you can shield your skin from the effects of drying environmental strain. The Citrus & Kale Strong C+E Serum from Aulilifestyle Organics and the Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum is Alicia's recommendations. Even with daily skin, you may want to prevent the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles, and that's exactly what the Citrus & Kale Powerful C+E Serum is made to do—enhance the appearance of firm, plump skin. The Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum assists skin that has been dried out by a chilly climate to ensure that it stays moisturized.

6. Moisturizing

Moisture is necessary for all types of skin to remain smooth, elastic and protected. Moisturizing promotes the skin's natural lipid barrier, enabling it to better retain water and fend off allergens and stressors from the environment.
