Know Your Skin Type & Care for It Properly!

Understanding your skin type is the first step toward a proper and effective skincare routine. Every complexion has different needs – and they deserve their own special care. Below you will find detailed information and practical tips for each skin type. Discover which category you belong to and give your skin what it truly needs.

Normal Skin

Normal skin is the most «balanced.» It has a clear, smooth appearance, small and uniform pores, with no intense signs of oiliness or dryness. Although it does not require excessive care, it is important to maintain its balance with:

  • Daily cleansing with a lightweight emulsion and a gentle lotion
  • Light moisturizing cream morning and night
  • Scrub once a week
  • Hydrating vitamin mask for rejuvenation

Tip: Do not neglect your nighttime routine; night is the best time for skin repair.

Oily Skin

Oily skin has an intense shine, enlarged pores, and often presents pimples or blackheads. Its care must be meticulous, but not aggressive:

  • Daily cleansing with specialized milks and lotions for oily skin
  • Avoid harsh soaps – keep skin acidity in balance
  • Use of lightweight moisturizer (serum-gel or oil-free)
  • Peeling twice a week
  • Deep cleansing clay mask

Plus: Oily skin ages slower! Take advantage of this benefit with proper care.

Combination skin

Perhaps the most demanding type, combination skin exhibits oiliness in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dryness on the cheeks. It requires targeted care:

  • Gentle cleanser with moisturizing agents
  • Toner only on the T-zone
  • Moisturizer for normal skin, avoiding application on the T-zone

Tip: You can use different products for each facial area for targeted care.

Dry Skin

Dry skin often looks dull and tight, while being prone to fine lines and premature aging. It needs rich hydration and protection:

  • Cleansing with moisturizing lotion
  • Toner with softening ingredients
  • Rich moisturizing cream for morning and evening
  • Weekly peeling & vitamin moisturizing mask

Must: Protect skin from the cold and the sun – they are major enemies of skin moisture.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin reacts easily to environmental changes, cosmetics, and solar radiation. It requires care and gentle products:

  • Choose only hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested products
  • Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before each new use
  • Avoid the sun, intense cold, and pollution
  • Keep the indoor air moist naturally (e.g., humidifiers)

Tip: Simplicity is key. Do not overload your skin with too many products.

Dehydrated Skin

Dehydration is not a skin type, but a condition that can affect all types. It occurs when the skin is “thirsty,” looking tired and dull:

  • Drink plenty of water and consume fruits and vegetables daily
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol
  • Do you use a nightly moisturizer every day
  • Weekly peeling & moisturizing mask
  • Avoid harsh cleaners

Note: Dehydration starts from within! Take care of your body, not just your skin.

The health and beauty of your skin starts with the right knowledge. Listen to your skin's needs and create a skincare routine that truly responds to them. Your face is your best showcase — take care of it the way it deserves!
