Find Your Bar: Skin Type Guide

Not all skin is the same and neither are our bars.
BARE by Karma is built on the belief that skincare should meet your skin where it is. Use this simple guide to find the bar that fits you best.

Normal Skin

You might notice:
Balanced oil and moisture levels, few breakouts, and minimal reactivity. Your skin feels comfortable most of the time.

What your skin needs:
A simple, clean bar that supports your natural balance without interfering.

Recommended Bars:

  • Honey Oatmeal (Normal / Combo)

  • Café Bare (Normal / Dry)

 

 

Combination Skin

You might notice:
Your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) feels oily, while your cheeks feel dry or tight. You may also experience occasional breakouts in certain areas but dryness in others.

What your skin needs:
Balance. A gentle formula that controls oil without over-drying the drier areas. Look for bars that detox lightly and replenish moisture at the same time.

Recommended Bars:

  • Activated Charcoal (Acne-Prone / Combo)

  • Honey Oatmeal (Normal / Combo Skin)

Oily Skin

You might notice:
Your face often looks shiny or greasy, especially in the T-zone. Makeup may slide off during the day, and you may experience enlarged pores and frequent blackheads.

What your skin needs:
A bar that deeply cleanses, controls oil, and clarifies without disrupting your skin’s natural moisture balance.

Recommended Bars:

  • Activated Charcoal (Oily Skin)

  • Café Bare (Oily Skin)

Sensitive Skin

You might notice:
Redness, stinging, itching, or flare-ups after using skincare products. Your skin may react to fragrances, dyes, or rough textures.

What your skin needs:
A calming, minimal-ingredient bar that soothes inflammation and strengthens your skin barrier with gentle nourishment.

Recommended Bars:

  • Activated Charcoal (Sensitive Skin)

  • Honey Oatmeal (Sensitive Skin)

Acne-Prone Skin

You might notice:
Frequent breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads, or cystic acne, especially during stress or hormonal changes. Your skin might be reactive to certain products.

What your skin needs:
A clarifying, anti-inflammatory bar that calms breakouts and gently exfoliates without harsh drying agents.

Recommended Bars:

  • Activated Charcoal (Acne-Prone / Combo)

  • Honey Oatmeal (Acne-Prone)

Dry Skin

You might notice:
Flaking, tightness after washing, or dullness. Your skin might feel rough to the touch and need regular moisturizing.

What your skin needs:
A deeply moisturizing, soothing bar that locks in hydration and gently exfoliates dead skin buildup.

Recommended Bars:

  • Honey Oatmeal (Dry Skin)

  • Café Bare (Dry Skin)
