Why Do Skin Typing?

What Skin Type Do I Have?

Oily, dry, combination or sensitive. For nearly a century, we’ve depended on these four categories to prescribe treatments and select skincare products.

But have you ever had problems treating an acne breakout because it’s surrounded by dry, flaky skin? Or offered a tried-and-true sensitive skin product only to break out in red, itchy patches?

These problems arise because our current skin-typing system is too simple to address all of the skin variances that exist. For example, 80% of all women surveyed will state they have sensitive skin. That doesn’t mean that all skin care lines formulated for just sensitive skin will benefit all 80%.

Skin Typing breaks that down into more specifics.

Skin Typing identifies 16 skin types, based on Baumann’s research on skin’s tendency toward wrinkling (or not), pigmenting (or not), oiliness (or dryness) and sensitivity (or not).

Buying treatments and beauty products no longer has to be a guessing game, where you try to sort through the hype and figure out what will work for you. In this system by Baumann, we take all the guess work out of it.

What Happens During A Skin Type Consultation?

A detailed consultation distinguishes which end of the spectrum your skin type lies and we provide specific treatments and products geared for that skin type to keep skin radiant and glowing.

First we help you evaluate and understand your skin’s uniqueness. Then we show exactly what treatments and products you need (and don’t need) in day and night regimens customized to each skin type.

You tell us about your skin, your concerns, and what you would like from your skin care treatments and products.

We pay attention to all you say, identify the unique nature of your skin, your needs and lifestyle, and create a personalised regimen based on our conversation, and talk you through all the choices you have.

With the Skin Typing program that we offer, you will finally be able to:

• Undergo the appropriate treatments for your Skin Type.
• Take advantage of the treatments that would really benefit your Skin Type.
• Hide your skin concerns with mineral makeup while it heals.
• Use the right products for your Skin Type.
• Never have to spend more than you will have to on treatments & products.
