What do I need for my skin type? It’s a question that clients who come into our Nelson Day Spa frequently ask us. And actually, that is the best time to ask us! Why? Because no one product or treatment fits everybody with the same skin type. So, it helps if we can see your skin to offer personal recommendations.
However, this article aims to answer the burning question, “What do I need for my skin type?” in more general terms. Read on for all the details:

What do I need for my skin type?
Before you read our suggestions, it might help to read a recent article we wrote to help you categorise your skin type.
We always recommend using a cleanser and moisturiser specially formulated to help your skin. However, sometimes it helps to add to your baseline products with more specific and targeted products or treatments. We can advise you of the best solutions we carry in our Nelson spa.
Oily Skin:
Consider adding a Pore Refiner Serum to your arsenal of products. This will help strengthen and refine the size of your pores and reduce oil production. We also recommend Hydrodermabrasion treatment. By incorporating a customised peel with our serum infusing hydrodermabrasion, we can offer you a deeper exfoliation and specialised skin renewal.
Dry Skin:
Ultraceuticals B2 hydration serum is like a drink of water for dehydrated skin. And for your go-to facial, consider the Advanced Signature Facial; we use advanced serums, peels and masks to correct skin imperfections. A lactic peel and sonophoresis on dry skin can infuse hydration up to 1000 times!
Sensitive Skin:
Use a good baseline range every day to help rebuild the impaired barrier. Talk to us about choosing products specific to your sensitivities. And be sure to follow up your morning routine with SPF, summer or winter! We recommend Sothys Soothing Facial combined with an Omnilux LED light therapy to strengthen your skin from within.
The best way to discover the perfect treatments and products for your skin is to call and see us. If you think you have Normal or Combination skin, we would love to see your skin to help you choose the right products for you!
