SKIN TYPES
Know your skin:
Your skin is the largest organ of your body with multiple layers,structural proteins, and vital components responsible for its health and appearance. The key to optimal skin improvement is understanding the inner workings of this dynamic organ. Also remember that your skin type can change with age, hormones and seasons.
There are 5 main skin types: normal, combination, oily, dry and sensitive and various skin conditions, e.g. aging, acne, dehydration, pigmentation, and many more.
Normal skin is balanced. Feeling neither too dry nor too oily. It is not prone to breakouts, flakiness, or feeling greasy or tight. People with normal skin typically have pores that are small, a smooth skin texture, and are less prone to sensitivity or blemishes. However, despite the fact that normal skin doesn’t have any specific issues or concerns, it still requires proper skincare to look and feel its best. The ideal normal skin routine helps maintain your skin’s hydration by locking in moisture and supporting your skin’s protective barrier.

Combination skin includes areas that are dry as well as oily. With the Tzone commonly being oily, and the cheeks being either dry or normal. This skin type can vary during different seasons of the year, and due to various factors, such as stress or hormone fluctuation. Effective cleansing and hydration are key to care for skin that’s oily or normal in some places and dry in others.
Recommended DERMA PH Products:
Oily skin produces an excess of sebum that causes the skin to appear shiny and feel greasy, especially throughout the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). People with oily skin may tend to have less wrinkles, but they may also be more prone to enlarged pores, acne blemishes, blackheads, and whiteheads.
Keep in mind that just because oily skin produces more natural oils, this doesn’t mean that it requires any less moisture than other skin types. Supporting oily skin comes down to choosing the right products that nourish and hydrate, without clogging your pores or triggering breakouts
Recommended DERMA PH Products:
Dry skin generally produces less natural oils than other types of skin. This may cause it to appear dull and become rough, flaky, or even scaly. It often feels tight or less elastic, noticeably dehydrated, and may be prone to showing more visible fine lines. In addition, it may become itchy or irritated.

Sensitive skin is often referred to as a skin type, but it’s possible to have oily sensitive skin, dry sensitive skin, or normal sensitive skin. Regardless of which type of skin you have, if you have sensitive skin, it may appear red and feel like it’s burning, itching, or dry. These symptoms may be related to having skin that is more vulnerable to external irritants and may be triggered by certain ingredients, like fragrance, as well as environmental factors.
If you have sensitive skin, you may be able to determine what triggers your sensitivity and avoid cleansers, moisturizers, or other products containing those specific ingredients. You can also alter your environment to reduce your exposure to triggering agents.
