A Guide to Skin Types and Their Treatments

Started May 3, 2024

Abstract or project description

What kind of skin do you have? Moreover, do you know the best over the counter products to use for your skin type? This interactive guide covers the five major skin types and offers personalized step-by-step guides to product selection and application that prevents and treats breakouts while keeping the skin radiant.

Acne can occur in any skin type, but certain ones are at a higher risk than others, especially if the wrong products are used for the wrong reasons. For example, oily skin still needs to be moisturized in order to keep its barrier function intact and inflammation down. Even normal skin needs a tailored routine to prevent breakouts. While you can't choose the skin type you are born with, you can certainly choose to learn about it and how best to improve and maintain healthy skin!
