Hey, bestie! If your skin sometimes feels shiny (especially by the end of the day), or you’ve noticed blackheads or breakouts popping up—your skin might be on the oily side. This just means your skin makes extra sebum, which is a natural oil that keeps skin hydrated and protected. And while a little oil is totally normal, too much can lead to clogged pores and acne.

💡 Why does this happen? Sometimes it’s just in your genes. Other times it can be because of hormones, stress, diet, or even using the wrong skincare products.

But don’t worry—oily skin isn’t bad! In fact, it helps protect your skin and can even mean fewer wrinkles in the future. The key is finding the right balance and using products that help control shine without drying you out.

Here are some oily-skin bestie tips (based on derm-approved advice!):

✔️ Wash your face morning and night (and after sports or gym!)

✔️ Use gentle, oil-free and non-comedogenic products

✔️ Moisturize daily (yup, even oily skin needs it!)

✔️ Always wear sunscreen

🚫 Don’t use harsh scrubs or alcohol-based cleansers

🚫 Don’t sleep in your makeup (ever!)

🚫 Try not to touch your face too much during the day

Need help getting started? Bestie Skin Club’s gentle cleansers like Wash & Glow and lightweight moisturizers like Super Chill are perfect for oily-prone skin. We see you, and we’ve got you. 💖

Feeling like your skin is a little tight, rough, or itchy—especially in winter? You might have dry skin, bestie! This happens when your skin doesn’t hold on to enough moisture. Things like chilly weather, long hot showers, or using harsh soaps can dry it out even more. But don’t worry—we’ve got sweet solutions for your thirsty skin. 💧

Why does it happen? Dry skin can come from the weather (hello, winter), your routine (too much scrubbing or hot water), or just your skin type. And that’s okay! Your skin just needs a little extra TLC.

Bestie tips for happy, hydrated skin:

✔️ Moisturize right after washing your face

✔️ Use rich creams or oils (skip super light lotions)

✔️ Be gentle—no scrubbing or drying soaps!

✔️ Drink lots of water and keep your room air cozy with a humidifier

✔️ Wear soft clothes and use fragrance-free laundry detergent

🚫 Try to avoid products with AHAs or strong retinoids—they can make dry skin even thirstier.

Instead, look for ingredients like:

🌻 Sunflower oil

🥥 Coconut oil

💧 Glycerin & Hyaluronic acid

🌰 Shea butter

🌿 Jojoba or Olive oil

Ever feel like your forehead gets shiny by lunch, but your cheeks feel a little dry? That, bestie, might mean you’ve got combination skin—aka the most common skin type out there!

Here’s the deal: people with combo skin usually have an oily T-zone (that’s your forehead, nose, and chin), but drier or more sensitive cheeks. It’s like your skin can’t decide what it wants—but don’t worry, we’ve got this.

🌀 Why does combo skin happen?

Sometimes it’s just your genes, but it can also be caused by using the wrong products, sun damage, stress, or even not drinking enough water. The good news? Small changes can make a big difference.

🌟 But here’s a glow-up secret: combo skin is totally manageable!

You don’t need 100 different products—just a few smart, gentle ones that know how to treat your skin just right. Think: lightweight hydration for your T-zone, and soothing moisture for your cheeks.

Here are some Bestie Skin Club tips:

✔️ Use a gentle foaming cleanser

✔️ Try a toner just for the T-zone

✔️ Pick a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer

✔️ Don’t skip SPF (combo skin still needs protection!)

✔️ Listen to your skin—it’s okay to treat different areas differently

💖 Try our Foam Party Cleanser, Dew Drops (and Game Face Hydration Gel for our dudes!)—they’re perfect for skin that needs a little extra balance.

If your skin gets red, itchy, or stingy from certain products, weather, or even just rubbing too hard with a towel—you might have sensitive skin, bestie. And that’s totally okay! It just means your skin needs extra kindness and super-gentle care.

Sensitive skin is all about how your skin reacts to things.

🎀 What causes it?

Sometimes it’s just your natural skin type, but sensitive skin can also be triggered by allergies, over-washing, strong products, sun exposure, or even the weather. Your skin barrier might be a little thinner or more delicate than others—and that’s why being gentle is key.

🧼 Here’s how to take care of sensitive skin:

✔️ Stick to fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products

✔️ Use a soft, creamy or milk cleanser (no scrubbing!)

✔️ Moisturize daily with calming, barrier-repair ingredients

✔️ Always patch-test new skincare

✔️ Protect your skin with mineral SPF

✔️ Avoid alcohol-based or exfoliating products unless your derm gives the okay
