Discover Your Skin Type

Then use the chart below to find your Organic Essentials^® skin care regimen.

NORMAL skin is healthy skin. NORMAL skin is vibrant, balanced skin. It produces just enough oil, and that oil is utilized efficiently within the skin’s layers, keeping it healthy and blemish-free. Skin tone is clear and the pores are normal in size. It looks firm, supple and tends to be free of lines and wrinkles.

DRY skin has slowed down so that it is not producing enough oil. It looks tired and dull; sometimes it looks and acts older than it should. It tends to look flaky, with fine lines around the eyes, mouth and nose. When dehydrated it can look parched. Unless it is cared for it can wrinkle prematurely. Organic Essentials^® will provide this skin type with the supplementation it needs to re-activate and become healthy, NORMAL skin again.

OILY skin has sebaceous glands that are overstimulated and produce too much oil. These conditions often become more severe as the skin becomes over-cleansed; then it stimulates oil glands to deposit extra waxes to protect the skin’s surface from future harsh detergents and alcohols. Over-cleansing transmits the wrong message to the glands, which continue making more oil. OILY skin looks shiny all over. Pores are enlarged and visible, particularly in the T-zone. There may be blemishes around the nose and chin, between the eyebrows and on the forehead. Organic Essentials^® helps balance OILY skin by eliminating this destructive cycle.

SENSITIVE SKIN is skin that is reacting to some stimuli such as UV radiation, pollution, chemical irritants or allergens, soaps, detergents, formaldehyde-donning preservatives or even fabric softeners. Any skin type can experience this reaction. In fact, today fifty to sixty percent of the population consider themselves to have sensitive skin. Several ingredients in the Organic Essentials^® products—Chrysanthellum Indicum, Beta Glucan and the green seaweed Porphyra (more commonly known as Nori)—reduce the tightening, stinging, itching and redness of sensitive skin.

COMBINATION SKIN can function differently in various areas of the face. The nose/forehead area may experience extra oil, while elsewhere the skin may be dryer. You may wish to follow both the DRY and OILY regimens.

Whatever your skin type, Organic Essentials will work with your skin, bringing it into proper balance. Watch for signs that your skin is rebalancing itself as you continue with your skin care program. You’ll start off as one skin type and gradually change until you achieve NORMAL, or ideal skin. As this happens, listen to your skin. You may need to adjust your daily routine, changing how often and in what order you use the Organic Essentials^®.
