SKIN TYPES
People are born with their skin type which is genetically determined. A skin type is based primarily on how much oil is produced and on the amount of lipids found between the cells.
The T-Zone is the center area of the face. The “T”shape is formed by the forehead, nose and chin.
Generally, skin becomes drier over time and the oil/lipid production slow down as we age.
A consultation and skin analysis by a licensed esthetician will help determine your skin type and which products are recommended to use as products are formulated for different skin types and conditions.
Skin types include normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin.
