Here at Brooklyn Herborium, we do not craft a skin care regimen (and its specific rituals) based on skin “typing” such as oily, normal, or dry. We find that when you look at it that way, you become controlling and try to make the skin do something that it doesn’t naturally want to do. Control doesn’t lead to beautiful vibrant skin, just skin that is “under control.” Instead, we embrace the skin’s natural ability to do what it needs to do for itself and support that by giving it what it needs to function optimally.
If the skin is not functioning optimally, we use the symptoms to determine what the body needs in order to transition to a place where it can function beautifully on its own, with or without the support of our beautifully made products.
