Your Private Formula – a word from the chemist
With genetic disposition being a significant influencer of skin types, concerns and even disorders, epigenetic modifications induced internally and externally further affect its behaviour, giving rise to individually unique skin conditions that continue to evolve through the seasons and biological stages we experience in a lifetime.
➊ changes in temperature, humidity, and UV index throughout the year, affecting the skin’s sebum, microbiome, and oxidation state.
➋ general changes in monthly hormone secretion of the female gender and the associated effects on skin.
Climate and life cycles are only 2 examples that illustrate the dynamic environment surrounding our skin, while heredity, life style, pollution and medications can further alter its behaviour on a daily basis. While a one-size-fits-all approach seen in mainstream cosmetic labels is most commercially viable due to the economies of scale, it unfortunately is not the most effective as it does not consider the personalized needs of each individual, and the prevalence of this problem is the starting point from which Skin Need – Your Private Formula is conceptualized -
Discovering Your Private Formula
Before we treat, we must first understand.
Based on my decade of experience in cosmetics formulation and manufacturing, I’ve devised a simple survey to identify your unique skin type + problem(s), completed with brief causation, routine suggestion, as well as recommended treatments. The starting point for this database is 60+ unique combinations which I will continue to refine and expand, serving to guide you in the right direction of creating your best treatment plan.
Developing Your Private Formula
As your skin reacts to changes, so will your routine.
Developing Your Private Formula is an engaging self care practice that cultivates a habit of observation and responding to changes. With 40+ Skin Need formulations all designed to allow freedom of blending, I have contrived a simple guide on how to combine formulas in your fine-tuning of routine in response to changes, resting the final and most crucial step of product development into your hands as you discover your skin’s daily need.
