TYPES OF SKIN DRY SKIN Feels tight when you wake up in the morning, noticeable fine lines and wrinkles, flaky spots, nearly invisible pores, itchy skin, dull or uneven complexion, feels like you can’t get enough moisture and makeup looks flaky by midday. OILY SKIN Shiny when you wake up in the morning, few (if any) noticeable fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, large pores, congested looking complexion, feels like it’s always slick and makeup won’t stay put. NORMAL /COMBO SKIN Dry areas on cheeks with an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), fine lines around eye area but blemishes/blackheads on nose and chin, feels like you need a midday “powder your nose” touch-up. OVER TIME, skin cells make their way to the top layer of your skin, where they dry out and flake off. To remain healthy, skin needs a combination of hydration and moisture. A balanced diet and drinking plenty of water help a lot; using naturally based skincare helps even more! TIPS FOR HEALTHY SKIN THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE MORE YOU GLOW. Follow the tips below to get healthy, radiant, and pampered looking skin. EXFOLIATE Regularly. Exfoliating helps slough off dead skin cells on the top layer of your skin so that moisturizing and hydrating products can soak in better. UP, UP, & Away! Cleanse in circular motions, starting at your jaw and working upward. This helps with the appearance of blemishes, puffy skin, and baggy eyes. PAT & Press. Apply moisturizers and serums by pressing them into your skin. For delicate areas around your eyes and lips, use your ring finger to gently pat on product (your ring finger has the least muscle power, so it applies the least amount of pressure—plus, it makes you look like a pro!). BONUS: when you pat and press, more product gets onto your face, rather than absorbing into your hands. WEAR Sunscreen. Seriously, it’s the number one thing you can do to keep your skin healthy and prevent the appearance of wrinkles because it can help prevent collagen and elastin from breaking down, causing the appearance of premature aging. ALWAYS TEST New Product Before Using. Your inner wrist or elbow most closely resemble the skin on your face. Do a patch test, especially for leave-on products like moisturizers and masks, to make sure your skin doesn’t have a sensitivity that will leave you red and blotchy instead of radiant and glowing. TREAT FOR Your Type. Find products that work best for your unique skin type to help it look and feel its best. 7
