A SAFE SPACE FOR YOU TO NAVIGATE ACNE AND OTHER SKIN CONCERNS
OUR MISSION
To help people start their skin journey through educated guidance approved by dermatologists, interactive assessments that help better understand your skin type and skin knowledge, and to encourage confidence through support from real life stories.
OUR VISION
For surface to not only be a space where every skin type is welcomed, but for people to also leave feeling more knowledgeable with how to start their skin journey and confident enough to no longer hide their real skin.
NORMAL
Naturally Balanced
NORMAL SKIN
Produces a healthy balance of oil (sebum) and moisture to maintain an even, and healthy complexion with little to no breakouts or sensitivity.
DRY
Lacks Moisture
DRY SKIN
Dryness happens when your skin lacks enough natural oils and moisture, often because of genetics, cold weather, dehydration, etc.
OILY
Excess Sebum (oil)
OILY SKIN
Oiliness around the face happens when oil glands (sebaceous glands) produce excess oil (sebum). Usually caused by genetics, hormones, environment, etc.
COMBINATION
Not enough of both
COMBINATION SKIN
A mix of both “Oily” & “Dry” skin types. Typically an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry or normal around the cheek area. Often because of uneven oil production across the skin.
SENSITIVE
Reactive
SENSITIVE SKIN
More reactive than other skin types. Products, weather changes, allergies, are all factors that can cause “sensitive skin”. Usually people with eczema or a weakened skin barrier experience this.
