What Are The Best Skin Care Ingredients For Each Skin Type?

Besides age and ethnicity, our skin is characterized by its type. Your unique skin type is determined by various factors, including genetics, age, and environment, and will influence your water retention, sebum production, sensitivity, and tendency towards certain skin conditions, such as acne.

When you come to us here at Urban Oasis for a skincare treatment, we first determine which skin type you have to ensure that we give you the very best care possible.

Let’s talk first about the different skin types!

What Are The Different Skin Types?

Skin is often classified into four main types:

Normal skin: Normal – or eudermic – skin is well-balanced, with moisture content, sebum production, and other factors within normal ranges. Normal skin is less likely to suffer from skin conditions and appears clear, radiant, and healthy.
Dry skin: Dry skin may lack some natural moisturizing factors that help the skin retain water and may produce less sebum than other skin types. Sebum is the oil that builds a skin barrier to shield against environmental factors, such as temperature, dirt, and humidity.
Oily skin: Oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous glands that produce too much sebum. This condition is also known as seborrhea. Individuals with an oily skin type are more prone to certain skin blemishes and skin issues, especially acne.
Combination skin: People with combination skin types usually have oily skin in their t zone; this means they have an overproduction of sebum around the forehead, nose, and chin. Dry skin typically affects the cheeks, mouth, and eyes due to a lack of sebum production in these regions. This skin type is the most common and is characterized by a mix of oily and dry skin in different facial areas.

What Are Some Of The Best Skin Care Ingredients For Each Of These Skin Types?

Here are a few of the skincare ingredients recommended for each skin type:

For normal skin: Hyaluronic acid, peptides, glycolic or lactic acid, retinol
For dry skin: Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, lactic acid, oil-based cleansers
For oily skin: Retinol, hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, and niacinimide
For combination skin: Niacinimide, salicylic acid, Vitamins C & E, ceramides, and fatty acids
