The first step in deciding how to care for your skin is determining your skin type: Normal/Combination, Oily/Acne, Dry/Mature, or Sensitive. Why are certain types lumped together? Normal skin is balanced and hydrated with few breakouts. But even normal skin can become dull, dry, oily or broken out. Often those with normal skin types will have an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), considered Combination skin. With combination skin, what works on cheeks and neck could leave the rest of the face greasy and vice versa.
Dry skin types usually don’t have to battle acne in their youth. The flip-side? Dry skin tends to show wrinkles and fine lines sooner than oilier skin. Keeping skin clean, clear and hydrated by using rich (not greasy), emollient products will help to maintain a supple, youthful appearance. Sensitive skin types are very individual and should be looked at closely before selecting skincare. Whether you have sensitive/dry, sensitive/oily or sensitive/normal, choose products with mild ingredients made specifically for sensitive skin.
Lavera FACES Skin Care is designed for specific skin types. While FACES makes it easy to choose the products best suited to your skin type, they are also created to mix and match. FACES Calendula is perfectly suited to those with Normal/Combination skin, regulating oil levels while offering appropriate moisture and anti-aging benefits. While Calendula Balancing Cream is created for normal skin, its oil-balancing properties make it an ideal night time treatment for those with oily skin.
Young FACES Mint offers antibacterial action while it calms inflamed areas and restores natural moisture balance. The line includes cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing essentials for oily and acne skin types. Mint Exfoliating Mask can be used on normal or combination skin types as a deep cleansing treatment. Mint Blemish Stick – Concealer is a spot treatment and concealer in one and can be used on normal and combination skin, as well.
Following the line that coordinates with your individual skin type is a cinch, but don’t be afraid to think outside the box on certain skin issues. Keeping skin happy and healthy doesn’t have to be difficult. You just have to give it what it wants.

It can be difficult to come to terms with your skin type. We all want to have "normal" skin. But truly, using the right skin care products for your own unique skin type and skin concerns will bring forth your best, most radiant, and healthiest complexion.
