Hunnie Emans

Meet the founder of Hunnies Body Butter, Hunnie Emans. Inspiration struck when she sought out to find a solution for her husband’s eczema. She noticed that many products on the market use artificial ingredients, so decided to create her own body butter. This body butter eventually became her flagship product, Hunnies Body Butter.

Unearthed in Hunnie was a natural talent and deep passion for crafting body care products, and helping people heal take good care of themselves. Hunnies Body Butter was born out of kindness, love and a desire to help everyone.

Why Knowing Your Skin Type Matters

Understanding your skin type is the first step to building a routine that truly works for you. Using the wrong products can lead to breakouts, dryness, or irritation — so let's get it right from the start.

The 5 Main Skin Types

  • Normal – Balanced, not too oily or dry. Pores are small and skin feels comfortable throughout the day.
  • Oily – Excess sebum production, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin). Skin may appear shiny and pores look enlarged.
  • Dry – Skin feels tight, rough, or flaky. May be prone to sensitivity and fine lines.
  • Combination – Oily in the T-zone but dry or normal on the cheeks. The most common skin type.
  • Sensitive – Easily irritated by products, weather, or stress. May experience redness, itching, or burning.

The Bare-Face Test (At Home)

  1. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
  2. Do not apply any products.
  3. Wait 30–60 minutes.
  4. Observe how your skin feels and looks:
  • Shiny all over → Oily
  • Tight or flaky → Dry
  • Shiny T-zone, normal or dry cheeks → Combination
  • Comfortable with no shine → Normal
  • Red, itchy, or reactive → Sensitive

The Blotting Sheet Method

Press a clean blotting sheet to different areas of your face after 30 minutes of cleansing. Hold it up to the light — the amount of oil absorbed tells you a lot about your skin type.
