Choosing Products for Skin Types

Choosing Products for Skin Types – A Gentle Herbal Framework

Many people are told they have “dry,” “oily,” or “sensitive” skin, but those labels can feel limiting. Traditional herbalism invites us to notice how the skin actually feels today: tight or relaxed, dull or vibrant, cool or warm. This guide translates those sensations into simple ways to navigate Creation Farm products.

Step 1: Notice How Your Skin Feels

  • Dry-feeling skin – tight, rough, or flaky.
  • Oily-feeling skin – shiny surface, prone to feeling slick.
  • Combination – some areas feel dry, others oily.
  • Sensitive – easily bothered by products, weather, or stress.

Step 2: Match Textures to Skin Feel

  • Dry-feeling skin often appreciates creams, balms, and richer serums.
  • Oily-feeling skin may prefer lighter lotions, gels, or mists layered under small amounts of oil.
  • Sensitive skin usually does best with fewer scents and simpler ingredient lists.

Step 3: Use Energetics as a Tiebreaker

When in doubt, use warming/cooling and moistening/drying language as tiebreakers:

  • Skin that feels hot and reactive may prefer cooling, calming formulas.
  • Skin that feels cold and dull may enjoy slightly warming, circulatory blends.

Exploring Creation Farm by Skin Type

As you browse, you can:

  • Start with the Skin & Body Care collection and filter by product type (cream, lotion, serum, salve).
  • Use our product descriptions to see which items emphasize comfort for dry, combination, or sensitive skin.
  • Keep notes on what your skin enjoys in each season—your experience is the most important data.
