When it comes to achieving clear, healthy, and glowing skin, the first step isn’t buying the most expensive serum or trying the latest skincare trend—it’s knowing your skin type. At 6Plus1Skin, we believe that personalized skincare begins with understanding what your skin truly needs.
What Are the Main Skin Types?
Skin types are generally classified into five main categories, and each has specific needs:
Normal Skin
Balanced oil and hydration. Few concerns.
- Best Match: Hydration + Protection — Try our HydroSphere Cleanser & Facial Cream for daily care.
Oily Skin
Shiny T-zone, prone to blackheads and acne.
- Best Match: Purifying + Oil Control — Our Clarifying Mask with AHA and Tamanu Oil is perfect.
Dry Skin
Tight, rough texture, may flake easily.
- Best Match: Nourishing + Deep Hydration — Our Ultra-Rich Cream is packed with Squalane and Shea Butter.
Combination Skin
Oily in some areas (usually the T-zone), dry in others.
- Best Match: Balanced Routine — Use our Gentle Cleanser with targeted hydration.
Sensitive Skin
Easily irritated, may appear red or reactive to many products.
- 👉 Best Match: Calming + Strengthening — Our Snow Mushroom Serum is light, soothing, and barrier-supportive.
Why Skin Type Matters
Using the wrong products for your skin type can do more harm than good. For example:
- Oily skin with rich creams = clogged pores
- Dry skin with only foaming cleansers = irritation
- Sensitive skin with harsh actives = redness or peeling
Understanding your skin helps you avoid unnecessary breakouts, dryness, or dullness—and allows each product to do what it’s meant to do.
