DSNT skin is Dry, Sensitive, Non-Pigmented and Tight.
DSNTs are often under 30, have good skincare and sun-protection habits, and do not yet need anti-aging treatment. The priorities for DSNT skin are to repair the skin barrier, calm inflammation and treat acne or redness when present.
Your complete Baumann Skin Type matters when choosing skincare. Knowing that your skin is simply dry, sensitive or acne-prone is not enough to choose the right products. Each of the 16 Baumann Skin Types has different skincare needs, and changing even one letter can change which ingredients and products are appropriate.
This is especially important for DSNT skin because there are different types of sensitivity that DSPTs might have and this affects product choice.. Many DSNTs have dry skin with acne and may benefit from a carefully selected retinoid, while others have redness, stinging or early rosacea and should avoid retinoids and focus on soothing skincare until the inflammation improves. A product that is appropriate for one DSNT may therefore be wrong for another. Look at the custom routine that our dermatologist-developed algorithm has made for you to find the best products to use on your DSPT Skin Type.
The foundation of a DSNT skincare routine is a barrier-safe cleanser, barrier-repair moisturizer, anti-inflammatory ingredients and sunscreen. If acne is present, acne treatments should be introduced carefully, and moisturizers, sunscreens and other leave-on products should be noncomedogenic and chosen to help you tolerate the acne treatments.
DSNT skin generally does not need anti-aging products yet. The exception is a retinoid when it is being used to treat acne. Adding unnecessary anti-aging serums, acids and exfoliating products can increase irritation and make dry, sensitive skin more difficult to manage.
Your personalized DSNT routine takes your type of sensitivity, skincare habits and product preferences into account so that the products selected for you match your individual needs and are designed to work together as a complete skincare routine. This collection shows products that may show up in your recommended DSPT skin care routine.
