Hello Interloper!
Menu
Recommended Skincare: give the ZO Complexion Clearing Mask a go. This natural clay formulation purifies pores and absorbs excess oil, while also being suitable to use as a spot treatment. When it comes to choosing a cleanser for oily skin, our top choice is ZO Exfoliating Cleanser which effectively removes surface oil for a fresh and clean feel. To tackle acne, we highly recommend the ZO Oil Control Pads to be used alongside other treatments. For a comprehensive approach, invest in our ZO Complexion Clearing Program.
Dry Skin
Characteristics: as you’d expect, dry skin feels dry! You may also experience flakiness and sensitivity, while your skin’s texture may feel rough, itchy and look red or dull. There are various types of dry skin that include contact dermatitis (usually dry, itchy and red, sometimes with a skin rash), eczema (red, dry, bumpy and itchy patches of skin) and seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flakey patches).
Causes: outdoor work, allergies, a particularly dry or cold climate, and genetics can all increase the likelihood of dry skin. Age and menopause are major contributing factors, as changing hormone levels as you get older lead to the decrease of sebum production that normally adds moisture to your skin.
Recommended Skincare: you need products with gentle and soothing ingredients that add hydration to your skin. Our top choices are the ZO Hydrating Cleanser and the ZO Hydrating Crème, which help to support skin barrier restoration, calm irritation and restore hydration.
Combination skin
Characteristics: If you find your T-zone (forehead nose and chin) gets oily, while your cheeks feel dry, it’s likely you’ve got combination skin. You may find you have breakouts down the centre of your face, with itchy and flakiness either side. As a result, it’s difficult to know what skincare to prioritise!
Causes: hormones, genetics, changing seasons and stress lead to combination skin types. All of these factors tend to fluctuate throughout your lifetime, so it’s not always easy to find the best approach for the long term.
Recommended Skincare: suitable for all skin types, the ZO Gentle Cleanser is a must-have for combination concerns. It will leave your skin feeling refreshed, clean and hydrated. The ZO Daily Power Defense is another reliable option designed to promote overall skin health.
