What’s My Skin Type…? (Part 1)

In the time since we launched Glimpse Skin Care there is one question that I hear (or read) from you more than any other—“What type of skin do you think I have?”

I thought I would take a moment now to share my thoughts on “skin typing.”

You may have heard me mention on occasion that the skin is a dynamic organ, and it is lucky for us that it is. Our skin has to accommodate stress that is placed upon it both from external and internal factors every minute of every day. With that, there are as many skin “types” as there are people on the earth, with each complexion being as unique as the individual. To assign a specific “type” to our skin will inevitably put us at a disadvantage when caring for it. Certainly our skin has a tendency to either be oily or dry, but oily skin can become dry and vice versa. Moreover, oily skin can be sensitive and dry skin can suffer from hormonal breakouts.

So, where am I going with all this? Simply that, although we may have what I will call a dominant skin condition, our skin changes—sometimes on a daily basis. We need a skin care regimen that can adapt to those changes and still deliver what our skin needs in order to look its best. Glimpse’s clean, well-rounded formulations were created to work with your skin. Use the formulas as they are or mix them to create your own blend to address your skin needs in that moment.

   An interesting and educational post. I never asked myself what my skin type is. I reckon the skin on my face and the rest of the body are different but have realised that that may not be the case. Would be interested to find out more about Glimpse.

   Cheers

   Mari,
   I don’t know if you’ve received more info on Glimpse but thought I would share my views on this incredible product. I have very sensitive skin and have had absolutely NO problems. Matter of fact I think the last blemish I had was after using Glimpse for about 1 month, that was almost 2 years ago. What a great feeling to have no fears of hormonal breakouts – like I have had in the past! Hope you give Glimpse a try, I know you will love it!
