Your Skin - Advice From A Skin Therapist

Face it. It's time to grow up and learn to know, treat, and protect your skin. We spoke to one of Dermalogica’s Skin Therapists Dennille Ludenau about the ins and outs of caring for your skin. In this blog, we talk about how to know, treat, and protect your skin.

Know your Skin

Knowing your unique skin type & concern as well as how it responds to different situations is the most crucial step in taking care of your skin.

There are four main skin types that you could be and that is Normal, Oily, Dry, or Combination Skin.

Normal

This is classified as a well-balanced healthy skin type that has even levels of moisture and hydration.

Oily

This is when your glands produce too much sebum, which can lead to a greasy surface, clogged pores, and acne. 

Dry

This is when your glands produce too little sebum, which can lead to flaky, scaly, or rough patches on your face

Combination Skin

This can result in oiliness on the T-Zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry skin elsewhere.

 "The main factor that determines your skin type is how much oil is or isn't produced by your skin"
