✨ THE ESTHETICIAN EDITION: Understanding Your Skin Type ✨
Not all skin types need the same ingredients, especially melanin-rich skin.
The key isn’t being aggressive… it’s being strategic.
🖤 OILY SKIN
Produces excess sebum, but still needs hydration.
Focus on oil regulation and barrier support, not stripping.
🖤 ACNE-PRONE SKIN
Breakouts are driven by inflammation.
Calming the skin is just as important as clearing it to prevent dark marks.
🖤 DRY SKIN
Lacks lipids and moisture.
Barrier repair comes first before any exfoliation or active treatments.
🖤 NORMAL SKIN
Balanced, but not maintenance-free.
Consistency and protection keep the skin healthy and glowing.
🖤 COMBINATION SKIN
Oily in some areas, dry in others.
Requires balance not one product for the entire face.
🖤 AGING / PIGMENT-PRONE SKIN
Collagen loss and pigment changes go hand in hand.
Treat with ingredients that support cell turnover without triggering inflammation.
✨ Melanin-rich skin thrives on low inflammation and barrier-first care.
This is why one-size-fits-all skincare doesn’t work.
