The basic skin type of Diffused Redness means that there is an inherent predisposition to always show redness, or flush easily. This skin type is often incorrectly referred to as 'sensitive, mature, reactive'. It is incorrect because the Diffused Redness can become sensitive, reactive and prematurely aged if aggressed, which is easily done. Climate, negative work play lifestyle, medication, incorrect product use or poor quality product can all accelerate this skin type into more severe conditions.

Very few skins are truly oily, and even if the majority skin type is oily it can have areas of dryness and diffused redness. Oily skin has an inherent predisposition to congestion, open and closed comedones (blackheads) and or the pustules or papules of acne. It is a skin type that can quickly become aggressed and worsen if the wrong daily protocols are not followed or with the misuse or overuse of cosmetics. Sebaceous Hyperplasia, (overgrowth of the sebaceous gland) is a skin disorder commonly found in mature skins that had a tendency to be oily when young. Oily skin will become dryer as skin cells age, as lipid production naturally declines with age. The protocols of daily care for oily skin can ensure that this skin type functions optimally and that problems such as congestion and acne are addressed properly.
