The first step to treating winter skin ailments and dryness is to determine your skin type so you can find the best products for you.

  • Normal Skin
    Normal skin does not feel oily or dry under usual circumstances but can become dry on the cheeks or slightly oily in the T-zone on occasion. Try a normal moisturizer with sunscreen.
  • Dry Skin
    This skin type does not produce enough natural oil (sebum) and those with can experience flakiness, peeling and tightness. It is not prone to shine and remains matt, even in the T-zone. Try a hydrating mask.
  • Combination Skin
    This type is characterized by patchiness. It’s possible to be oily in some areas (particularly the T-zone) but normal or dry in others. Try a moisturizer with antioxidants.
  • Oily skin
    Oily skin produce too much sebum and may be prone to blemishes, blackheads and breakouts. Try an oil-free lotion.
  • Sensitive skin
    People with sensitive skin are often allergy prone, and their skin can experience dryness, itching, burning, redness, flare ups and stinging. To combat this, try a natural moisturizer.
