SKIN TYPES

Normal Skin
Usually skin that we are blessed with before hormones kick in! Distinguished by a moist, plump look that has a healthy glow and colour. The surface of the skin shows a fine texture with minimal wrinkles, fine line or open pores

Dry Skin
Can be a result of the aging process, but can also be hereditary. It tends to be fine, wrinkles easily and has fine pores. Dry skin is the result of under active sebaceous glands. Dry skin can also be dehydrated; its lack of oil can reduce its ability to retain moisture.

Oily Skin
Oily skin is quite easily recognised by its shiny appearance and enlarged pores. It is a hereditary condition that develops due to an overactive sebaceous gland. The androgen hormone controls this activity.

Combination Skin
Combination skin is very common and is characterised by the existence of two or more different skin types or conditions. The usual combination skin is oily on the T-Zone but dry on the rest of the face.

Skin Conditions

Acne
Generally related to hormonal imbalances or stress. Acne is chronic inflammatory disease caused when the pore (or hair follicle) becomes blocked by skin cells that aren’t properly expelled.

The skin cells stick together and when combined with sebum it plugs the pore and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. This in turn causes inflammation and can be hard to treat.

Couperose (rosacea)
Generally a heightened redness in the form of small dilated, bright red blood vessels winding around the cheek and nose area. Caused as a result of poor elasticity of the capillary wall and can be aggravated by external factors.

Devitalised Skin
Devitalised skin looks tired, dull and lifeless. It may also take a yellowish, dull cast and is common in Mediterranean skin types. This type of skin can handle a lot of massage and stimulation to increase blood circulation.

Mature Skin
With age skin becomes wrinkly, fine lines become deep lines, skin loses elasticity and starts to sag, it becomes thinner and drier. The skin looks withered and dull and growths and pigmentation appear along with small capillaries. By feeding and maintaining our skin, we can help reduce this process.
