What is WUTP?
Every change on your skin’s surface has something to say. Wrinkles, pigmentation, and texture shifts are more than signs of age. They are clues your skin gives you to help guide your routine.
At LuluLab, we believe in tuning into those signs with clarity and care. That’s why we created the LuluTI (Skin Code) to help you understand what your skin is showing you and how to respond with intention.
If your AI skin analysis result came back as WUTP, it reflects your skin’s need for elasticity support, oil balance, and steady protection. Let’s explore what that looks like in daily care.
Understanding Your Skin Type: WUTP
W = Wrinkles
Why it matters:
Wrinkles form due to aging and external stress like UV exposure. Understanding their cause helps in effective care. Wrinkles can also occur due to:
→ Natural aging and collagen loss
→ UV damage from sun exposure
→ Environmental stress and dehydration
What your skin might be telling you…
Wrinkles are your skin’s way of signaling a need for deeper care. It might be time to focus on ingredients that restore bounce, protect from daily stress, and rebuild what time or sun has slowly worn down.
U = Unflawed
Why it matters:
Your skin is clear, with few or no visible breakouts. It appears calm, non-inflamed, and pores stay clear and refined. But it can still be damaged due to:
→ Hormonal changes
→ Stress-related oiliness
→ Barrier damage from harsh products
What your skin might be telling you…
Clear skin is easier to maintain than to fix after a breakout. Keep your routine gentle to avoid sudden flare-ups.
T = Texture
Why it matters:
Enlarged or visible pores are often a sign that your skin is asking for balance. Texture concerns can show up for different reasons depending on your age and skin history. Even if you’re not currently experiencing breakouts, your pores may still appear prominent due to what your skin has gone through in the past. Common reasons include:
→ Overactive oil glands
→ Loss of firmness and structure
→ Post-acne scarring or inflammation
What your skin might be telling you…
Your skin may benefit from gentle care that supports elasticity and smooths texture. Choose products that control oil, soothe inflammation, and help reduce pore visibility over time.
P = Pigmentation
Why it matters:
Pigmentation arises from chronic UV exposure and aging. Younger skin may show hereditary pigmentation like freckles, while mature skin tends toward age spots and dark marks. Past acne treatments can also cause healing pigmentation. It can be triggered by:
→ Aging and UV damage
→ Past breakouts or treatments
→ Hormonal shifts
→Freckles or genetic pigmentation
What your skin might be telling you…
Your skin may need extra protection from sun exposure to prevent dark spots from getting worse. Gentle brightening and soothing care can help even out tone while respecting your skin’s natural balance.
The WUTP Connection: How Each Trait Influences the Other
WUTP skin tells a complete story of both what’s visible and what’s happened over time, combining signs of aging with sensitivity. Because of this complexity, a one-size-fits-all routine rarely works, and addressing one issue without considering the rest can cause new problems.
LuluTI | What it means | What helps |
|---|---|---|
W-T: Wrinkles with enlarged pores. | Your skin’s support structure is weakening from aging and UV damage, causing wrinkles and enlarged pores. | Focus on firming and hydrating treatments that support collagen and smooth texture. |
W-P: Pigmentation Due to Aging | Pigmentation often appears or worsens as skin ages, commonly caused by long-term sun exposure and the natural aging process. These spots may develop alongside wrinkles and reflect the skin’s history of UV damage and slower regeneration. | Use daily sunscreen, brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide, and collagen-boosting products to improve tone and texture. |
WUTP skin thrives with a balanced, supportive routine that restores elasticity, improves tone, minimizes pores, and protects while staying gentle and non-overwhelming.
