How to Treat Your Skin Type

With so many trends, products, and “life hacks” out there, it’s hard to know what to believe when it comes to skincare.

We believe the simpler, the better. It really boils down to what works for you. A trendy product can just irritate your skin—especially if you’re not sure what works for your skin type.

What’s Best for My Skin Type?

Oily

Look for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers that won’t clog pores. Gel-based formulas with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin can provide hydration without the greasy feel. Avoid heavy creams, and opt for non-comedogenic products to minimize breakouts. We suggest the Epionce Renewal Lite Facial Lotion.

Dry 

Dry skin needs deep hydration. Choose rich moisturizers to restore the skin barrier and lock in moisture. We love the Epionce Intensive Nourishing Cream.

Combination 

Combination skin is all about balance. Use a light moisturizer for day time and a thicker moisturizer at night. Look for formulas with a balanced mix of hydrating and oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide to even out your skin’s texture and tone without overloading oily zones.

Sensitive 

When your skin is easily irritated, less is more. Stick to fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers. Avoid alcohol-based products or anything with strong active ingredients.

Normal 

If your skin isn’t too dry or too oily, you’re trying to maintain that balance. Stick to a light, hydrating moisturizer. Adding in a chemical exfoliant a few times a week can help maintain a healthy glow and smooth texture.
