Find out your skin type

Here at Vendome Spa, we will give you a basic idea of your skin type. SKINECARE TIPS you should always remember:

• Your skin type can and will change throughout your life; depending on the climate you live in, your age, hormonal changes, seasonal changes etc. Your skin type today may not be the same as what it was five years ago. You need to constantly re-assess your skin's needs.

• Every skin is different. We narrow things down to four basic types to make it easier for you to get an idea of what products may be best for you. If you feel that you don't quite fit into any of the types described below we suggest you visit Vendome Spa to talk with our licensed beauty specialist, who can offer a personalized skin analysis and recommend the best products for you.

OTHER SKIN CONDITIONS

Did you figure out your basic skin type? You might be thinking: "That doesn't quite fit my skin type exactly."  That’s okay. You may have a temporary or ongoing skin condition that can make your skin look or behave a little bit differently. See if any of these sound like you:

Dehydrated Skin

This means your skin is lacking water. This can result from a number of factors, and can affect any skin type. Symptoms of dehydrated skin include:

·         Flakiness

·         Fine, creeping lines on the surface of the skin

·         A dull complexion

Sensitive Skin

Everyone's skin has the potential to become "sensitive", although some people experience ongoing symptoms of sensitivity. Characteristics of sensitivity include:

·         Tendency to redden easily

·         Prone to reactions from various products

·         Stinging or uncomfortable sensations, particularly after cleansing

·         Prone to rashes and irritations

·         Burns easily with sun exposure

Again, if you feel that you don't quite fit into any of the types shown here, we recommend you visit Vendome Spa to talk with our licensed beauty specialist, our expert team looks forward to helping you look great and feel better about yourself.
