Which Skin Type Am I?

When choosing your skincare regime it is vitally important to know which skin type you fall into. Skin type relates to the amount of oil flow your skin produces.
If you choose the wrong products for your skin you will ultimately not get a positive result and you will be wasting your money.
The options below are designed to take away the confusion and give you an indication of what group you fit into and which types of products are best suited to your skin.
Dry Skin - Skin feels tight & dry with no visible pores or blackheads, even on the nose. Skin is often rough or flaky, thin and/or dull, likely to have lines & wrinkles even in a younger skin. You need oil based, rich & nourishing products, minimum weekly exfoliation.
Normal/Dry Skin- Overall skin may be dry and tight but there is some T Zone oiliness & visible pores or blackheads on nose and/or chin. Deep Cleansing & oil balancing for T zone plus nourishing products for outer perimeter.
Normal/Oily Skin - T Zone gets oily/shiny with small blackheads. Cheeks can be oily or dry with some occasional breakouts. You need deep cleansing all over, medium weight products and regular exfoliation.
Oily Skin- Face gets oily/shiny by midday, visible blackheads & open pores on T Zone and Cheeks, some congested bumps under skin & often may breakout. You need deep cleansing, mattifying products and gentle daily micro exfoliation.
Acne/Problem Skin - Can be young or mature. Face gets oily quickly after cleansing and has inflamed lesions and scarring. Visible blackheads, whiteheads and open pores. May have some redness. Anti-bacterial and deep cleansing, soothing,repairing & antibacterial products, gentle daily micro exfoliation.
