OILY / COMBINATION / SENSITIVE / CONSISTENT BREAKOUTS

Skin Type 3 is when someone has shine in the T-Zone, which is the forehead, the nose, and the chin. You can have oily skin on your cheeks as well, but it’s primarily centered on your T-Zone. If you have more oil and a lot of breakouts you may want to look at Skin Type 1.

If you’re somebody who has to be mindful of what products they use on their skin (eg. makeup, skincare, etc.), or someone who gets small bumps and breakouts easily you may be a Skin Type 3.

If you’re somebody who doesn’t get red easily, that’s okay, you can still be a Skin Type 3. The idea here is that you’re also someone who gets tight and irritated skin when using harsh products. We want to keep water levels in the skin balanced, so if you are someone that products are too strong and your skin feels tight, this skin type may fit you.

This is an important identifier when it comes to Skin Type 3 - consistent blemishes. We have other skin types for more occasional breakouts, but this is someone that may get new breakouts every day, up to maybe 7 or 8 breakouts a week. If you’re getting 10 to 14 a week, you probably want to look into Skin Type 1.

If you’re someone who gets clogged pores, whiteheads, bumps under the skin, and you have blackheads mostly in the t-zone where you produce oil then you could be a Skin Type 3.

Anyone who gets breakouts, regardless of your skin type, will get marks, but if you get a lot of breakouts then trying to clear up those marks and scars is a top priority for you.

Even though your focus is to clear up the skin, and clear away breakouts you’re someone that’s mindful of keeping their skin healthy. You also might be thinking about how to prevent ageing down the road and Skin Type 3 definitely addresses this.

The typical age range for Skin Type 3 is between the teen years and about 25 years old. You could be over 25 and still have Skin Type 3, but during those years are when you produce the most oil and are breaking out the most.
