Understanding Your Skin Type: A Complete Guide

The Foundation of Great Skincare

Understanding your skin type is the first step toward achieving healthy, radiant skin. At Facial+, we believe that personalized skincare starts with proper skin analysis.

The Five Main Skin Types

1. Normal Skin

• Balanced oil and moisture levels
• Few imperfections
• Minimal sensitivity
• Smooth texture and even tone

2. Dry Skin

• Feels tight, especially after cleansing
• Visible flaking or rough patches
• Fine lines more apparent
• May feel itchy or uncomfortable

3. Oily Skin

• Shiny appearance, especially T-zone
• Enlarged pores
• Prone to blackheads and breakouts
• Makeup may not last long

4. Combination Skin

• Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)
• Normal to dry cheeks
• Different areas need different care
• Most common skin type

5. Sensitive Skin

• Reacts easily to products or environment
• Prone to redness and irritation
• May sting or burn with certain ingredients
• Often accompanies other skin types

Choosing the Right Treatments

Based on your skin type, we recommend:

Dry Skin: Hydrating facials with nourishing masks and serums

Oily Skin: Deep cleansing treatments with LED therapy for acne

Sensitive Skin: Gentle treatments with soothing, anti-inflammatory ingredients

Aging Skin: RF face contouring and collagen-stimulating treatments
