Find Your Skin Type

What's your skin type? Below is a list of seven different skin types. Find the one that best matches yours. You will often fall into one category; however, in some cases, you may overlap with another skin type or two. But that’s OK because everybody’s unique.

Too often, people begin a skin care regimen using products not explicitly designed for their skin type. Instead of improving their skin condition, they worsen it. One of the benefits of purchasing products from Botanic Glow is that our products are formulated for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin.

Balanced Skin or Normal Skin

Balanced or normal skin is neither too dry nor too oily. It’s evenly toned, free of blemishes, and has normal-sized pores. Balanced skin is soft and supple to the touch and requires minimal attention.

Dry Skin

Dry skin lacks natural moisture and oil. When compared to other skin types, the skin appears flaky or scaly with a rough texture and is more prone to the rapid development of lines and wrinkles.

Oily Skin

Oily skin has overactive sebaceous glands, which will give the skin a slick, shiny appearance within an hour after cleansing. Oily skin usually has medium- to large-sized pores and may or may not be prone to the development of acne. If your skin is oily, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will develop acne or pimples, but the pores can easily become clogged. One great benefit of having oily skin is that it is not prone to wrinkles and will remain youthful-looking over time

Combination Skin

Combination skin results from two skin types occurring on the face. With combination skin, there will be both dry and oily areas. The T-zone is commonly oily, with enlarged pores that may develop blackheads and minor breakouts, while the cheeks and neck are typically dry, with possible flakiness.

Sensitive Skin 

Sensitive skin frequently reacts negatively to most commonly known skin care products, mostly because of the products' synthetic ingredients, fragrances, alcohol, and artificial colors. These ingredients will cause the skin to develop irritated, rash-like symptoms and excessive redness. In some cases, sensitive skin overreacts to sudden changes in the temperature and can sunburn easily.

Mature Skin

Mature skin usually develops a thinner texture and lacks moisture. It shows visible facial lines and wrinkles and, in some cases, sun damage, depending on your skin exposure.

Environmentally Damaged Skin

Environmentally damaged skin shows visible deep lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, a rough texture, and an uneven skin tone. This could be because of too much sun damage, pollution, or neglect in properly caring for the skin..
