Following on from December ‘s Beauty Blog, Detoxing your Beauty Products, I thought this would lead nicely onto really learning about your skin type, beginning the year with the correct products and plan for your individual skin type. This will enable you to successfully detox your skin from previous chemicals you may have used, and achieve a more natural regime moving forward.
There is not a better time of year to aid your skin with the drying conditions of heating and harsher weather, which can dull our skin and make it react.
I’ve broken down each skin type to help you decipher what you true skin type is:
NORMAL
· Barely visible pores
· Rarely blemished
· Occasional dryness
DRY
· No visible pores
· Feels tight after cleansing
· Matte finish
OILY & COMBINATION
· Visible/enlarged pores
· Sheen to skin
· Shiny T-zone
SENSITIVE
· Quick to react
· Affected by stress
· Itchy/flaky/red
RADIANCE BOOST
· Skin lacking vitality
· Dulled skin tone
Once you have decided which skin type you are, you can provide your skin with the daily, non-toxic and chemical free products it needs to thrive and be as healthy as possible. If you’re unsure about your skin type, or need some advice please contact me ([email protected]).
I will be covering more about a true skincare routine for each skin type in future blogs, but in short the following needs to be carried out morning and evening in order to be left with a healthier skin tone:
· Cleanse
· Tone
· Eye product
· Facial oil/serum
· Moisturiser
Adding an exfoliator and mask which benefits your individual skin, once or twice a week, will encourage optimum skin care and radiance.
We can offer you specific skincare products for your skin type to ensure you are purchasing true certified organic and natural products, which will not harm your skin cells or encourage unwanted skin reactions.
It is frightening that women in particular, tend to absorb more than 500 more toxic chemicals a day than other family members! Mainly due to their skincare products and makeup containing too many harsh, unnecessary toxins. So if you’ve decided to begin the New Year with a less toxic and healthier skin regime, purchase the correct product and buy with confidence with our certified natural and organic options for your skin type.
SKIN CARE TIP- don’t confuse your skin type with sensitive or a sensitized skin as mentioned in our November Blog, Do You Have Sensitive Skin?
Also, dehydrated skins are a skin condition, not a type. So be aware of selecting Dry as you may be Normal but with dehydration due to the time of year?
I’m excited to take you on your “green” skin journey in 2017 and a common goal of achieving healthy, glowing skin the chemical free way!
January’s Beauty Blog ties in with relevant beauty tips coming up in future Green Parent blogs, helping you decide which makeup is best for your skin type and taking you
