Understanding Your Skin Type

How to Choose the Right Skincare Products

Ever wonder why your skincare routine isn’t giving you the results you want? It could be that you're not using products tailored to your skin type. Knowing your skin type is crucial for choosing the right skincare that will nourish and improve your skin rather than causing irritation or breakouts. Let’s break down the main skin types and how to care for them effectively.

1. Oily Skin

If you constantly battle shine and enlarged pores, you likely have oily skin. The key to managing this skin type is balancing oil production without stripping the skin of moisture.

Arkana Product Recommendation

The Acne Out Cream is formulated with salicylic acid and tea tree oil, helping to control excess sebum while keeping skin hydrated.

2. Dry Skin

Dry skin feels tight, often looks flaky, and may show fine lines earlier than other skin types. It needs hydration and products that lock in moisture.

Arkana Product Recommendation

Arkana’s Hydrospheric Cream is infused with hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture into the skin and keeps it hydrated throughout the day.

3. Combination Skin

This skin type is tricky, with oily areas (usually the T-zone) and dry patches. Combination skin requires targeted treatment to balance both.

Arkana Product Recommendation

For combination skin, try the Arkana Acne QS Hacker Cream, which regulates oil production, minimizes pores, and hydrates dry areas, making it ideal for balancing both oily and dry zones.

4. Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is prone to redness, irritation, and discomfort, especially when exposed to harsh products. Choose gentle, soothing formulations.

Arkana Product Recommendation

The Neuro Sensi Therapy Cream is ideal for calming sensitive skin, reducing inflammation, and hydrating without causing irritation.
