Define your skin type

How would you describe your skin?

To help determine your skin’s needs, please select the type that best describes your skin at present, bearing in mind any approaching seasonal or climatic changes. As our skin changes with lifestyle, age, environmental conditions and hormonal fluctuations, it is important to regularly reassess the skin’s appearance and responses.

Normal

My skin is neither particularly oily, nor particularly dry, with few—if any—blemishes. It has an even texture and tone, with fine pores and a supple, smooth surface.

Combination

My skin seems to combine the characteristics of normal, dry and oily types. It tends to be oilier on my forehead, nose and beneath my lower lip—but normal-to-dry on my cheeks and neck.

Oily

My skin has a shiny appearance across the face, and a coarser or thicker texture with enlarged pores. I have a tendency to blemishes, breakouts and blackheads.

Dry

My skin often feels tight after cleansing. It is patchy, dull and sometimes fragile and/or flaky, with fine pores.

Do you have any particular skin concerns?

In addition to your skin type, you may have one or more specific areas of concern. To help determine the needs of your skin, please select from the following.

Sensitive

My skin reacts readily to changes in lifestyle and environmental conditions, such as seasonal allergies, and sometimes to preservatives, perfumes and dyes. It occasionally appears red, inflamed or irritated. Hormonal shifts can also produce a noticeable effect on my skin; likewise ‘hard water’, with its high mineral content.

Mature

My skin has changed with age—lately, I’m more aware of its dryness and tendency to flakiness. I have very few blackheads or blemishes, and my skin seems unable to retain moisture.

Dehydrated

My skin is dull and patchy, and sensitive in particular areas. It occasionally feels tight or tough, and seems to lack moisture. I spend quite a lot of time in air-conditioned or heated environments or I might need to drink more water.

A personalised prescription

Normal and Mature

The use of mild but efficacious products to cleanse, tone and hydrate will help to maintain the equilibrium of your skin. We suggest a balanced regimen, supplemented once or twice weekly by exfoliation, deep-cleansing and treatments that boost nourishment and hydration.

For those with mature skin, intensive hydration and vitamins such as A, E and C are essential. In addition, fortification against further damage, via anti-oxidant or SPF ingredients, will help to ensure your skin remains healthy and looking its best.

Other factors at play

A complex equation

When considering skin’s overall health and appearance, we recognise that our products are only part of the equation. Various other factors can also impact the skin and determine the products best suited to its care.

  • Seasonality

    A harsh change in climate—experienced, for instance, by those who travel frequently—can have a drying effect on the skin. Similarly, our skin often reacts to the turning of the seasons, however gradual; and to seasonal allergies such as hay fever. We have found a seasonal approach to skin care to be most effective, taking into account not only the present season, but also the coming months. In hot weather, take care to protect skin from sun exposure, and replenish moisture with a lightweight hydrator; in cold climates, introduce vitamin-rich nourishment and consider a barrier cream to shield skin from biting winds.

  • Environment

    Spending extended periods in air-conditioned and heated interiors, extreme temperatures or polluted environments can contribute to skin feeling dry, dull or congested. Hot and humid environments can also affect the skin adversely.

  • Lifestyle

    Various lifestyle-related factors affect the health of our skin—among them, lack of sleep, stress, smoking and overindulgence in substances such as alcohol—and may leave it susceptible to dullness, blemishes or breakouts. Eat well and heartily: we advocate home-cooked meals with fresh ingredients whenever possible, along with a healthy water intake.

  • Travel

    No matter how wonderful the destination, travel can have a significant impact on the skin, often leaving it vulnerable to extreme changes in climate. Take particular care to replenish lost moisture when travelling, and ensure your regimen takes into consideration any differences in the temperature and environment of your destination.

  • Heredity

    Congenital characteristics and hormones play a significant role in our skin’s condition and appearance, and the changes it experiences over time. If open pores are common in your family, for example, it is likely that you may be given to the same. While we cannot control for these biological factors, we can ensure skin remains as healthy as possible.
