The deeper layer of skin containing hair follicles, sweat glands, blood vessels, and nerve endings.

A system developed by Dr. Leslie Baumann that categorizes skin types based on four key parameters.

The purpose of BSTS is to personalize skincare by matching products to specific skin types for optimal results.

Four parameters: oiliness, sensitivity, dryness, and pigmentation form the basis of the BSTS.

Numbers assigned to dry and oily skin types represent the level of water content in the skin, with higher numbers indicating higher water content.

A characteristic of dry skin in the BSTS is low water content in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin.

The color dot system in BSTS simplifies the assessment of skin hydration levels, with different colors indicating different levels of dryness or oiliness.
