How do I know my skin type?

How do I know my skin type?

January 25, 2023

If you ever wonder what your skin type is and chose as dry, sensitive, oily, combination or congested –
think again! Our skin is porous, which means that it is constantly being affected by environmental,
psychological, emotional, and chemical stress from the stuff we put into our skin. Environmental
pollution plays a huge role for people living or working where there is smog, radiation, string winds,
debris, or humid climates. While psychological and emotional stress have a direct impact on our skin,
believe it or not. When we are under emotional stress (be it a sad news, or stressful work environment,
or being a caretaker, or a new mom as a few examples), there is a physical and chemical change in our
bodies with shortening of our telomeres, and signs of aging including premature graying of hair,
wrinkles, dark circles, dull complexion, acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, cellulite, weight gain, or weight
loss, hair loss, brittle nails. Chemical stress can be a result of using too many harsh chemicals on your
face and body including the hand soaps. Our skin likes products at a pH of 5-7. When we use sulfate-
based shampoos, hand soaps, bar soaps on our skin, we are stripping moisture from or skin which can
have an adverse effect leading to dry, and sensitive skin more prone to atopic dermatitis, acne, and
rosacea.
So, going back to the question about determining our skin type. You must know your current state of
physical, emotional, psychological and environmental imbalances on your skin. In my next blog I will be
talking about how to determine these imbalances. Stay tuned!

Dirty Secrets of the Beauty Industry, Part 1: Skinveda's Founder Tells Her Story

Dirty Secrets of the Beauty Industry, Part 1: Skinveda's Founder Tells Her Story

July 26, 2018

We asked some of the founders of our Indie brands to reveal a “Dirty Secret” of the conventional beauty industry – and tell us how it motivated them to make a difference.

Dirty Secrets of the Beauty Industry – Part 1: Shilpi of Skinveda

When you’re Principal Scientist at some of the largest commercial beauty brands as Shilpi was for over 18 years, you don’t miss much about how items are produced and brought to market:

"Most decisions [by large commercial beauty firms] are made based on commerce – it's all about adding a drop of that and a drop of this to bulk up the ingredient deck. When we talk about 'mass beauty', the word 'mass' is indicative of the fact that you are non-selective ...."

"I chose to start my own practice as an ethical cosmetic formulator and a brand that was solely performance-based using the highest quality plant-based ingredients that mimicked the chemistry of their synthetic lab-produced counterparts."

"As a scientist and an entrepreneur with experience in cosmetics formulation, pharmaceutical drug development and plant-based science, I have the advantage of lookimg at all sides of a formulation."

"I believe in 'Less is More' ... add a few high quality ingredients in the right amounts in synergy and customized to each individual’s skin as well as mind-body constitution."

Oil Control Serum

July 24, 2014

Summer can be fun, yet play a havoc on people with oily and combination skin types. With excessive sweating or oil production, acne is inevitable. To help control excessive oil production, Skinveda has developed products especially for this problem.

Our Tulsi Pore Refiner is a light amber colored gel that penetrates quickly into the pores of the skin with a pH of 5.5. It has three active ingredients that help with desquamation of dead skin cells, thus help with pore size reduction without the use of abrasive exfoliants, and control sebum production while also helping with scarring and uneven skin tone due to acne. It is oil-free and hydrating. 

The three key ingredients in this light gel include Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) leaf extract from India, Lentil seed peptides from France, Eijitsu rose from Japan.
