Oily Skin
Oily skin is one of our most frequent skin concerns that presents some unique challenges, like a shiny complexion and acne breakouts. However, with the proper skincare routine and products suggested by our team, these issues will be less of a problem.
Take the guesswork out finding the best way to care for your oily complexion. Ask our skincare experts for ideas on the best daily skincare routine for oily skin, as well as the targeted products they recommend. They are sure to suggest a simple four-step routine similar to the one outlined below, which you can follow every day to keep your skin healthy:
- Cleanse in the morning and evening with an exfoliating cleanser.
- Use a toner.
- Treat your skin with a retinol product to help keep pores clear.
- Moisturize in the morning and evening.
Dry Skin
With dry skin, the skin on your face may flake or itch, feel tight, or even be sensitive.
As you start switching up your products to incorporate those for dry skin, you can follow the steps outline below to ease the dryness further and alleviate your symptoms:
- Modify your shower: Skip hot showers in favor of lukewarm ones.
- Wash your face gently: Avoid soaps and cleansers that contain harsh ingredients, and be sure to try our facial cleansers.
- Apply moisturizer: Choose a moisturizer that is free of fragrance and alcohol.
- Target dehydrated skin: Try one of these products from our SkinCeuticals
- Block out the sun: Remember to apply one of the sunscreens we recommend.
Sensitive Skin
You may not have even realized you had sensitive skin until you had a bad reaction to a skincare product, like soap, moisturizer, or makeup.
Here are some of the common causes of sensitive skin:
- Dry skin
- Eczema
- Contact dermatitis
- Rosacea
- Hives
Keep your symptoms under control with a few simple additions to your skincare routine. Be sure to follow the advice of Kathy, our medical aesthetician, in dealing with these.
Combination Skin
What happens if you have combination skin? In other words, some areas of your skin are oily, whereas others tend to be dry. Although caring for combination skin can be challenging (there is no set skincare formula for combination skin) it is still possible to find a routine and skincare products that simultaneously combat dry patches and oiliness.
In treating your combination skin type:
- Selectively treat affected areas.
- Avoid products with excessive fragrance or other irritants.
- Choose non-comedogenic products.
- Stay hydrated.
If your over-the-counter skincare products aren’t accomplishing the goals you’re looking for, make an appointment for professional help in using our exciting collection of skincare products and keep your skin well-nourished and looking and feeling its best.
