Without Breaking Your Budget
Cleansing removes makeup, soil, and pollutants from your skin. We want the skin clean, but do not want to overdo it with harsh cleansers, which are undesirable for any complexion. Over-cleansing can harm the skin’s moisture barrier, which can lead to dryness, inflammation, and rebound oil production in oilier complexions. Gentle and effective are key.
Hydrating is essential. It’s like giving your skin a drink of water. When your skin is thirsty, it needs moisture, which is where hydrating products come in. Moisture plumps the skin and helps it function well. Well-hydrated skin has resilience, or bounce.
Moisturizing is the final step in this 3-step system. Moisturizers generally add some moisture (see above) but most of all they provide a layer of emollience to help ‘seal’ in the moisture so that skin doesn’t get dehydrated. Moisturizers help slow the loss of moisture, a process called, TEWL (transepidermal water loss). They lubricate. soften and nourish the skin.
Your complexion is neither oily nor dry. You don’t experience any particular skin issues associated with other skin types.
You’re very fortunate and have a wide variety of options.
Oily, Congested, Acneic Skin Your complexion is shiny shortly after cleansing, and/or you have regular breakouts.
Combination Skin: Your complexion is oily, typically in the T-zone, but normal everywhere else.
Dry and/or Mature Skin
Your skin is always dry and dehydrated and may be sensitive, too.
