How to care for your skin type

DRY SKIN Care
Treat your dry skin kindly, use gentle soaps and cleansers and avoid astringent toners (especially ones that contain alcohol). To dry your skin, gently pat it with a clean towel. Make sure to limit baths and showers to 5-10 minutes, once a day, and do not scrub your skin while bathing. Moisturize twice daily with a rich serum.
SENSITIVE SKIN care
New products should always be patch tested on sensitive skin. Wash and moisturize your face twice daily; apply moisturizer right after washing, while your skin is still moist, then pat it dry. Avoid steaming hot baths and showers, limit exposure to extreme temperatures, and take the time to remove all makeup before bed. Stay clear of the sun when you can and always use high quality sunscreen.
OILY SKIN care
It is especially important that you cleanse your skin twice daily. Show your skin some love by keeping a spray bottle of astringent toner on you to spritz on your face during the day. And don’t forget: oily skin needs moisturizing too! Just make sure you pick a light moisturizing serum over thicker ones.
Be nice to your skin
WE GET IT: it’s tempting to bully your skin into submission using synthetic, mass-produced creams, scrubs and soaps. In the long run, though, that approach is bound to cause more harm than good. Instead, start by getting to know your skin: get in touch with its natural rhythm; be kind to it. And make sure you support it with healthy habits, such as: GET LOTS OF SLEEP | REDUCE STRESS & ANXIETY | DO NOT SMOKE | LIMIT CAFFEIN & ALCOHOL INTAKE | EAT ORGANIC WHOLE FOODS AND AVOID REFINED SUGAR | LIMIT SUN EXPOSURE & USE HIGH QUALITY SUNSCREEN
