About STS
About Skin Type Solutions® (STS)
At Restorative Wellness MedSpa, we leverage Skin Type Solutions®—the dermatologist-developed Baumann Skin Type® system—to deliver precisely matched skincare routines. Your unique profile guides product selection, ingredient strategy, and seasonal adjustments for healthy, radiant skin. Based in Merced, CA, with Telehealth available across California.
Why Skin Type Solutions® Works
The STS system classifies 16 Baumann Skin Types to eliminate guesswork and match you with the right actives—and the right order of use.
Dermatologist-Developed
Based on the Baumann Skin Type® research—used by physicians and medspas for results-driven routines.
Personalized Routines
We curate cleansers, serums, moisturizers, sunscreens, and boosters that fit your exact skin profile and season.
Ingredient Strategy
Optimized pairings (e.g., retinoids, vitamin C, niacinamide) and timing minimize irritation and maximize outcomes.
Why the Skin Type Quiz Is Essential
80% of people use products that don’t match their skin type. The STS quiz identifies your Baumann Skin Type® so we can design a routine that delivers results—without trial and error.
- 16 types: Dry/Oily × Sensitive/Resistant × Pigmented/Non-Pigmented × Wrinkle-Prone/Tight
- Clarifies which actives to use—and which to avoid or separate
- Adapts seasonally and as your skin changes
Next step: take the quiz, then meet with our clinician to personalize your regimen.
