Skincare Starts in the Shower
Which Skin Type Sounds Most Like You?
Not sure which products are right for you? Start by identifying your skin type below. Understanding your skin’s needs can help you build a routine that feels more comfortable and effective.
Dry & Itchy Skin
Signs:
Skin often feels tight, rough, flaky, or itchy. It may appear dull and can become uncomfortable after bathing, especially during colder months. Fine lines may appear more noticeable, and skin can feel thirsty even after applying moisturizer.
What Your Skin Needs:
Gentle cleansing and ingredients that help support the skin’s natural moisture barrier while reducing dryness and discomfort.
Helpful Tip:
If your skin feels tight immediately after washing, there’s a good chance your skin is on the dry side.
Oily & Acne-Prone Skin
Signs:
Skin appears shiny or greasy throughout the day, especially around the forehead, nose, and chin. Pores may appear larger, and blackheads, blemishes, or breakouts can occur more frequently.
What Your Skin Needs:
Cleansing that helps remove excess oil without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.
Helpful Tip:
Many people assume oily skin doesn’t need moisture, but dehydrated skin can sometimes produce even more oil.
Sensitive Skin
Signs:
Skin reacts easily to new products, fragrances, weather changes, or environmental irritants. Redness, itching, stinging, burning, or irritation may occur more frequently.
What Your Skin Needs:
Simple, gentle products and a consistent routine that minimizes potential irritants.
Helpful Tip:
When trying a new product, introduce one item at a time so it’s easier to identify what works best for your skin.
Normal Skin
Signs:
Skin feels balanced—neither too oily nor too dry. Pores are generally small, texture is smooth, and breakouts are occasional rather than frequent.
What Your Skin Needs:
Regular cleansing and moisture to help maintain your skin’s natural balance.
Helpful Tip:
Even balanced skin can become drier in winter or oilier during warmer months.
Combination Skin
Signs:
A combination of both oily and dry areas. Typically, the forehead, nose, and chin are oilier, while the cheeks may feel normal or dry.
What Your Skin Needs:
A balanced approach that supports both oily and dry areas without over-correcting either one.
Helpful Tip:
Combination skin is one of the most common skin types and may change with the seasons.
Baby & Children’s Skin
Signs:
Young skin is naturally delicate and can be more sensitive to fragrances, harsh cleansers, and environmental factors.
What Their Skin Needs:
Gentle cleansing and uncomplicated skincare that supports the skin’s natural protective barrier.
Helpful Tip:
When it comes to children’s skincare, simple is often best.
Fragrance-Free & Unscented
Who It’s For:
Those who prefer products without added fragrance, have scent sensitivities, work in fragrance-free environments, or simply enjoy a more minimalist skincare routine.
Benefits:
Fragrance-free products help simplify a skincare routine and may be a good option for those with sensitive skin.
Helpful Tip:
“Unscented” doesn’t always mean odorless. Some products naturally have a mild scent from the ingredients themselves.
Still Not Sure?
Many people fall into more than one category, and skin can change with age, weather, stress, hormones, and environment.
If you’re unsure where to start, focus on the skin concerns you notice most often and choose products that support those needs.
Skincare starts in the shower. Choosing a cleanser that suits your skin type is often the first step toward healthier-looking skin.
