What is Your Skin Type?

The skin is our largest vital organ and our first line of defense against bacterial invasion. As you change and grow, so does your skin. The sun, wind, pollution, heredity, medications, stress and heating systems, all affect your skin type. It is important to identify your true skin type so you will be able to select the correct L’BRI skin care products for your special needs. Read the following descriptions and find the one that most closely portrays your skin.

Oily Skin
Oily skin has a shiny appearance and is usually thicker, firmer, and less sensitive than the other types. The pores are visibly more noticeable and are medium to large in size. There is a tendency for recurring clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, blemishes and enlarged pores. Many times we see the more drying chemicals you use, the more oily your skin will be. With L’BRI products you will not have that happen and your skin will start to calm down its oiliness.

    • If your skin is oily with no or a few break-outs, order – The L’BRI Deep Pore Basic Skin Care Set with the Deep Pore Moisturizer and the Peel.
    • If your skin is oily with break-outs, order – The L’BRI Deep Pore Basic Set with the Aloe & Peel.
    • If your skin is very oily with blemishes or acne, order – L’BRI Deep Pore Basic Set with Aloe, which also comes with the Klear Away..
      KlearAway Lotion is intended to be used as a spot treatment for blemishes, applying it on the individual blemishes.  However, if a customer has a serious case of breakouts, it can be used over the entire face for the first 5 days. This would give the product a ‘jump start’ in getting bacteria under control.  KlearAway lotion does not take the place of the moisturizer.  It would be considered a specialty product like our Maxifirm or Time Erase.

 

Dry Skin

Dry skin can feel tight and may have visible flaking. It is often delicate, easily irritated, and usually sensitive to cold weather. Dry skin has a matte finish with no sheen and can have a rough feel to it. Many people think that they have dry skin when they actually have a superficial dry condition. Superficial dryness is caused by exposure to the sun, sea, air, wind, or pollutants. It is also caused by improper skin-care habits such as using soap as a cleanser or not using a moisturizer for protection. The symptoms of certain skin diseases such as eczema, mild psoriasis, or atopic dermatitis are sometimes mistaken for dry skin.

  • If your skin is dry order – The L’BRI Gentle Skin Care Basic Set with the peel.
  • If your skin is very dry, order – The Gentle Skin Care Basic Set with the Peel & Intense Moisturizer.

 

Combination Skin
Combination skin refers to skin with two or more distinctly different characteristics on different parts of the face. The most common combination skin is oily in the T-zone then dry or normal in the other areas. Usually, the “T-zone” (forehead, nose, and chin) is oily and the cheeks and around the eyes are normal or dry. Ninety-five percent of combination skin types will fit this description.

  • If your skin is combination, order – The Combination Skin Care Basic Set with the Peel.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is characterized by overreaction to external influences (sun, wind, certain cosmetics, skin care, handling and temperature extremes). It is easily irritated and exposure can result in redness, a rash, itching, stinging, or burning. Sensitive skin has a tendency to develop distended or broken capillaries as well as allergies, and it usually sunburns easily. Key description: Delicate

  • If your skin is sensitive, order –The Basic Set that is for your skin type.  Remember sensitivity can be from what you are using such as chemicals, heavy oils, dyes and synthetic fragrances.
