Your diet also plays a huge role in how your skin looks and feels. Fruits rich in natural vitamin C—such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, strawberries, kiwi, and pineapple—help support collagen production, brighten the complexion, and protect your skin from environmental stress. In fact, not many people know that Vitamin C is necessary for making collagen — your body cannot make collagen without Vitamin C! So, eat plenty of citrus fruits — it’s a simple way to keep your skin healthy!
What Skin Type Are You?
What Skin Type Are You? A Quick Guide to Healthier Skin
I want you to know what your skin is like. My Shea products work with all skin types — but it works better when you know your skin type and can match its use to your unique needs.
Whether your skin is normal, oily, or dry, understanding its needs helps you use Shea properly. Here’s a simple, quick guide to help you identify your skin type.Normal Skin
Normal skin is well-balanced — not too oily, not too dry. It has a smooth texture, small pores, and low sensitivity. Blemishes are minimal, making this the easiest skin type to maintain. A gentle cleanser, lightweight moisturizer, and daily SPF are all you need to keep it glowing. Daily use of Shea will ensure your skin has adequate protection.Oily Skin
Oily skin often looks shiny with larger pores and is more prone to pimples, blackheads, and blemishes. Excess oil can make makeup slide off, but using oil-free products, salicylic acid cleansers, and non-comedogenic skincare can help keep shine under control. Shea is good for oily skin because it’s not really oily at all. Your skin will absorb it easily.Dry Skin
Dry skin feels tight, rough, or flaky. It can become easily irritated and may crack or peel in certain areas. The rich moisturizing quality of Shea makes it ideal for dry skin. Complement its use with hydrating cleansers. The dry air in winter makes using Shea very helpful for all skin types but particularly for dry skin.
