Understand your skin and its needs. Find the right care and the right routine.
Did you know that our skin is the largest organ in the body? In fact, the skin is one of the body's organs, along with the internal organs. However, it differs from person to person, and for this reason it is divided into different skin types. Because only if your care is If it suits your skin type, your skin will get what it needs. Determining your skin type will help you find the right products and the right routine for you.
You can easily determine your skin type by following these steps:
Step 1: Cleanse your face thoroughly of excess sebum, dirt deposits and make-up.
Step 2: Let your skin rest for an hour and avoid any use of creams etc.
Step 3: Now look carefully at your skin in the mirror and then compare it with the following skin types.
NORMAL SKIN
If your facial skin has good blood circulation, has fine pores and feels velvety, if it appears soft and supple, then it is normal skin. Robust and easy to care for - with normal skin, the natural skin functions run almost smoothly. It is generally insensitive to environmental influences.
DRY SKIN
While you're waiting, certain parts of your face are starting to feel tight and red? If you also have flaky patches and small wrinkles and a pale, dull complexion, this is an indication of dry skin. Itching, tightness, flaking - dry skin can be unpleasant. But stress and environmental influences can affect the skin's appearance. This is where proper care is all the more important.
OILY, UNCLEAN SKIN / ACNE
Does your face have an oily shine and numerous blemishes or spots? Then you tend to have oily, blemished skin. With this skin type, pores are also noticeably larger and visible. The right skin care can specifically counteract and prevent skin blemishes.
COMBINATION SKIN
The T-zone on the forehead, nose and chin appears slightly oily and has rather large pores, while the cheeks and eye area are tight and/or red due to dryness? These are the characteristics of combination skin. Certain ingredients in skin care can help to optimally care for your combination skin despite its different skin conditions.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Is your skin irritated and red in many places and feels tight? Is your skin tight and reacts quickly to external influences and certain ingredients? These characteristics are characteristic of sensitive skin. Incorrect care products, allergies and stress can put additional strain on the skin.
MATURE SKIN
Are there fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, mouth and forehead? Is your skin rather dry, brittle, can you see altered pigments or visible veins? Your skin lacks elasticity and tone - then it is quite possible that your face needs the care of mature skin. By the way: the aging process begins as early as the age of 30, because the body's own production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid decreases and the skin loses tension, elasticity and structure.
ROSACEA
Rosacea is a chronic and inflammatory skin disease, also known as couperose. Typical symptoms include redness, dilated capillaries and blisters, especially on the face. Facial redness manifests itself in episodes and shows different symptoms depending on the severity. In advanced phases, the skin redness is accompanied by increased sensitivity due to inflammation, accompanied by burning and itching sensations. Fragrances and irritating ingredients should be avoided in skin care and instead moisturizing and barrier-strengthening substances should be used.
