Our skin is the largest organ of our body and needs to be protected, respected and cared for morning and evening. It mirrors our physical and mental state of health. Skin Diagnosis Correct skin diagnosis is 90% of having great skin. Misdiagnosis, compounded by use of the wrong products, causes more problems than anything else with all skin types. Misdiagnosis leads to confusion, spending money on products and never really getting your skin to a heathy, dewy, vibrant state. When talking about the skin, I use two important terms: Your Skin Type Your Sub-Condition Skin Type: is the skin you are born with. Sub Condition: represents the surface layer of the skin and is affected by the use of skin care products and the changing environment. Sometimes, the sub-condition can be deceiving. For example, your skin type may be oily, with blackheads and open pores but the sub-condition is very surface dry. It is very important to analyze both your skin type and the sub-condition. The sub-condition is easily treatable and changes can occur quickly with the correct use of products.
