Skin Types

Oily skin
Oily skin is characterized by an over production of sebum (oil). It also tends to have enlarged pores. These things can be caused by a combination of factors: hormone levels, a diet rich in fats, or in a hot and humid climate. While skin that is oily will often be less prone to wrinkles, this skin type may be more inclined to have pimples and blemishes. The typically oily areas, often referred to as the "T-zone" are oily around the nose and forehead. It is important for oily skin care to include a regular and complete cleansing regime. Products need to be gentle as well as thorough, so as not to over-stimulate sebaceous glands into producing even more oil. Our Clarifying formulas are designed to do just this.

Normal and Sensitive skin
Normal skin is neither too dry nor too oily. Sensitive skin may react to different products or environments, often with redness, itching, or burning. Our treatments are designed to help normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and improve the health and appearance of the skin. The Balancing formulas are soothing and calming, helping to return skin to its natural state of balance.

Dry skin
Dry skin may occur for any of a number of reasons. Often, it can be caused by environment: too much sun and wind, from harsh soaps, poor diet, alcohol consumption, lack of fluid intake, drying cosmetics or medications taken internally. Skin may have both dry and oily areas - perhaps an oily "T-zone" and dry cheeks. The sebaceous glands will need stimulating to normalize sebum (oil) production. The use of the right essential oils will give the skin needed lubrication and still encourage the skin to make its own natural oils. The Hydrating line will be most helpful.

Dehydrated skin
Dehydrated skin is prone to fine lines and wrinkles. There may be the appearance of broken capillaries. This is something that often occurs in mature skin. In the case of dehydrated skin, moisture is imperative. Hydration is always good, whether you drink it in or smooth it on. Regularly nourishing the skin with the Vitalizing line of formulas will result in a marked improvement. A regular routine of care and maintenence is so important and the Vitalizing line will benefit this skin condition.
