Skin Types and Skin Care Tips

What's my skin type?

Acne breakouts are not just for teenagers, so determining your skin type is important to having healthy-looking skin everyday. Here's some tips for normal, dry, sensitive, oily, combination, and mature skin types.

The T-zone is the area of the face that includes the forehead, nose, mouth, and chin. With some faces, the T-zone is different from the cheeks and the area around the eyes, such as combination dry and combination oily skin.

Normal Skin seems balanced throughout most of the face-- not too oily or dry. May feel a little oily in the nose area by the end of the day. Breakouts are rare. Dehydration and a lackluster appearance are primary concerns.
Recommended soaps: All soaps may be used with this skin type.

Dry / Sensitive Skin feels tight and dehydrated over the entire face, with no oily sheen, a lackluster appearance and a tendency towards flaking and fine lines. Mature skin or skin that shows signs of premature aging may fall into this category.
Recommended soaps: Kukui Nut Dreams, Lavender. Tropical Blend, Mango Papaya

Combination Dry Skin feels normal in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), but tight and dry in patches, generally in the cheek and eye areas. Dehydration and signs of premature again are of concern, particularly around the eyes.
Recommended soaps: Kukui Nut Dreams, Lavender, Tropical Blend, Mango Papaya, Plumeria, Patchouli, Pineapple

Combination Oily Skin is oily through the T-zone and normal throughout the cheeks and around eyes. Avoiding blemishes and clogged pores and controlling excess oil in key areas are the main focus.
Recommended soaps: Ginger Lemongrass, Geranium Rose, Ocean Mint, Citrus, Beach Bar, Coconut Cream, Plumeria, Cinnamon, Patchouli, Kane Kine

Oily Skin produces excess oil throughout the entire face, particularly through the T-zone, which can look shiny after cleansing. Blemishes and clogged pores are common problems. Balancing the skin without stripping its natural moisture is very important.
Recommended soaps: Ginger Lemongrass, Geranium Rose, Ocean Mint, Kane Kine, Beach Bar, Waialua Coffee Scrub, Citrus

Mature Skin is a more elegant way to refer to aging skin. Naturally, the oilier your skin, the longer it takes for the effects of aging to appear. This skin type is characterized by the appearance of fine line or wrinkles. Skin may start to show spots, appear thinner, or start to lose tone.
