Identify your skin type
Knowing your skin type will help you select the correct Soaps & Scents products best suited for your skin.
Oily Skin
If your sebaceous glands are producing too much oil, you have oily skin. Your skin will usually have a shiny appearance, the the pores medium to large in size. Prone to blemishes, oily skin is usually thicker and less sensitive than other types
Soaps & Scents recommends – Rosemary – With its antiseptic qualities, rosemary gently regulates oil production without drying. It also stimulates tissue circulation, the metabolism of the skin, and lymph drainage.
Combination Skin
If this is your skin type, oil glands on the face are producing just the right amount. You will find that your forehead and nose areas may be somewhat oilier than the rest of your face. Your pores will be small to medium in size. The skin is of medium thickness and has an even tone.
Soaps & Scents recommends – Lavender Rose Geranium – Versatile lavender is beneficial for any skin type and makes a great cleanser for those with normal skin. Rose geranium will increase circulation in the blood vessels below the surface of the skin.
Normal to Dry Skin
Dry skin can be lacking in water, oil, or both. It can feel tight and may have visible flaking. It is often delicate and easily irritated. It has a matte finish with no sheen and sometimes has a rough feel to it.
