Skin Analysis Basics

The Basics of Skin Analysis by Eva's Esthetics

At Eva's esthetics we analyze the skin by pore size, cleanse according to type and treat for the condition.

Skin Type - Dry

Tu'eL Product – Vitamin Line

Characteristics: Small pores with few large pores that are less than 1/3 of the face.

Dry skin has few oil glands and small pores. It could appear flaky around the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead or have larger pores in the nose area. This skin type can age early. It may be congested and look dehydrated. Dry skin can feel rough because of a buildup of dry skin cells.


Skin Type: Combination

Tu'eL Product – Azulene Combination Line

Characteristics: Medium to large pores occupying 1/3 of the face.

This skin is often classified as “normal” because all skin has more sebaceous oil glands in the T-Zone than other areas of the face.
Combination skin can have blackheads, but they are generally few and small in size. The outside areas (cheeks, forehead and hairline) are often non-oily and tend to have a more refined appearance.


Skin Type: Dry, Product Reactive

Tu'eL Product – Chamomile Line

Typical Characteristics: Dry skin that reacts to products.

This skin has small pores and is always product reactive. Reactions can be mild to severe and include: swelling, pain, burning, itching and welts. This skin needs to be treated gently with a calming product.


Skin Type: Oily

Tu'eL Product – Azulene Oily Line

Characteristics: Medium to large pores occupying 1/2 to all of the face.

The general look of oily skin is an overall sheen to the face. Oily skin always has large pores and the T-Zone usually has blackheads.
Oily skin can be found in any age group and can appear to be dehydrated. Don’t be mislead by this, if there are large pores and blackheads, it’s oily.


Skin Type: Acne

Tu'eL Product – Purifying Line

Characteristics: All skin types with regular breakouts occupying a large area of the face.
Impure skin can appear on any type or age. It will be present with some or all of the following: pimples, pustules, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts and nodules. This skin needs breakout control, refinement and balance.
