Joshua Signs

  • Age 33
  • Skin Type Oily - Combo
  • Concern Texture & Balanced Hydration

Joshua describes his skin as oily to oily predominate combo. Teen years riddled with “trying all the things” resulted in heavily textured skin and post acne hyper-pigmentation. He has extremely resilient thick skin and has been using heavy actives and strong forms of exfoliation to balance and keep his skin clear and bright.

Torri, 31

  • Skin Type Normal & Easily Irritated
  • Concern Preventative Care

Gentle cleansers and richer moisturizers are Torri's go-to. As her Eden Team encourages, she's started using chemical exfoliants in the past year, and gentle ones at that, sparingly - great to combat dullness. She's consistent with sun protection and at home facials with skincare devices to lift, sculpt, and allow for a deeper absorbtion of hydrating products.
