Hey Beautiful,

One of the first things I ask every client is, “Do you actually know your skin type?” Because let me tell you, using the wrong products is like putting diesel in a gas car—it just doesn’t work. If you’ve ever struggled with dryness, oiliness, or breakouts that won’t go away, the problem might not be your skin—it’s that you’re using the wrong skincare.

Now, before we dive in, keep in mind that the best way to TRULY determine your skin type is with a professional skin consultation. While this guide will help you get a general idea, a consultation allows me to analyze your skin up close and customize the perfect plan for you. Your skin is unique, and it deserves personalized care!

So, let’s decode your skin type together and get you set up with the perfect routine using Sorella Apothecary—one of my absolute favorite skincare lines for delivering real results!

Final Thoughts

Now that you have an idea of your skin type, let’s talk real results. While this guide is a great starting point, nothing beats an in-person skin consultation. Why? Because skin is complex!

• You might think you’re oily, but really your skin is dehydrated.
• You could be treating acne when the real issue is inflammation.
• Products work differently on different skin types—you need a customized plan!

That’s why I always recommend coming in for a professional skin analysis. During a consultation at CexeCells Skin & Body Care, I can take a closer look at your skin, listen to your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan with Sorella Apothecary products that will actually work for YOU.

Your skin deserves expert care—let’s get you glowing! ✨
