Skin & Hair, Understood
Tailored routines for every skin type and hair concern, grounded in clear, practical guidance.
The Skin Type Matrix
Find your skin type and match your routine to its needs.
Oily
Use a gentle foaming cleanser twice daily to remove excess oil without stripping.
Choose a lightweight, oil-free gel moisturizer to hydrate without clogging pores.
Apply a non-comedogenic, matte-finish sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every morning.
Dry
Cleanse with a creamy, hydrating cleanser that preserves the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Use a rich, ceramide-based cream or balm to lock in hydration throughout the day.
Select a moisturizing sunscreen with added humectants to prevent further dryness.
Combination
Cleanse with a balanced, sulfate-free cleanser to address both oily and dry zones.
Apply a water-based lotion to the T-zone and a slightly richer cream to the cheeks.
Use a lightweight, broad-spectrum sunscreen that works across all skin areas.
Sensitive
Wash with a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic cleanser and lukewarm water to avoid irritation.
Soothe with a minimal-ingredient, barrier-repairing moisturizer free of dyes and alcohols.
Choose a physical (mineral) sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to minimize sensitivity.
Scalp & Hair Care Matrix
Nurture your scalp and hair with frequency, technique, and routine.
Shampoo Washing Frequency
For most hair types, washing two to three times per week is sufficient. Adjust based on oiliness and activity level: oily scalps may benefit from daily gentle washing, while dry or textured hair can go longer between washes.
Scalp Massage Techniques
Use your fingertips in small, circular motions to stimulate circulation and distribute natural oils. A few minutes of massage before or during shampooing can improve scalp health and promote relaxation.
Conditioning Routines
Apply conditioner mainly to the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp to prevent buildup. For deep conditioning, use a mask once a week and rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle.
