Find your Fitzpatrick scale
Use it to build a routine that actually fits you.
You probably know whether your skin feels oily or dry. But what happens after a sunny day, a breakout, or a product that didn't agree with you?
The Fitzpatrick scale describes how your skin usually burns and tans. It runs from I to VI. We'll help you estimate where you fit, then ask about your current concerns, what your skin tolerates, and what has changed in your life.
You'll leave with your estimate, an explanation of your answers, and a morning, evening and weekly SABBSKIN routine. We'll also check how our face and hair devices fit your needs.
A few minutes for a routine you can understand.
