I am often asked if BUJÓRI skincare formulations are good for all skin types. There seems to be considerable confusion within the public regarding the terminology related to skin types and skin conditions. It is important to distinguish between the two.

Skin Type refers to the percentage of pigmented melanocytes present within the skin, which are responsible for the color of the skin. Skin type is genetically inherited and it determines how each person's skin reacts to sunlight.

Skin Condition refers to the biologic structure and functions of the skin as an organ.
The skin is a complex organ made of layers of cells and tissues that work together as a single structure to perform unique and critical functions, namely skin homeostasis - protection, temperature regulation, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, excretion and absorption of substances. To perform these vital functions, the skin maintains its structural integrity with the help of the acid mantle, the lipidome, and the microbiome.
The skin is a mirror of our internal health through its integration and interaction with the body's structure and functions.

There are only two skin conditions:

1. healthy skin
2. compromised skin.

Compromised skin is a condition in which there is an abnormality in the skin’s structure, function, or both. It can manifest as dry, oily, inflamed, sensitized, or diseased skin (e.g., acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, etc.).
People do not have sensitive skin. The skin becomes sensitized and eventually diseased due to a weakening of the skin’s structural integrity – the acid mantle, the microbiome, and the lipidome – which is responsible for the skin’s protective function.

Skin health can be compromised by

• skin hygiene products and habits
• makeup quality and frequency of use
• suboptimal health
• nutrition and the quality of food we eat
• life style – exercise and sleep habits
• living environment – pollution and stress
• genetic inheritance.

BUJÓRI skincare formulations are suitable for all skin types and conditions, as they have been formulated to harmonize with the skin’s innate structure and functions.
