What skin type are you?

Combination skin takes its name from the fact that it is a combination of two skin types:

1. Unproblematic skin: Often this is referred to as “normal” skin which is a term widely used to refer to well-balanced (not too oily and not too dry) skin combined with
2. Oily, shiny skin, often in combination with enlarged pores & small blemishes

Combination skin shines and tends to develop small blemishes – especially in the so-called T-zone between the forehead, nose and chin. By contrast, the cheek area is well-balanced or sometimes even tends towards dry skin. Choose a face care product that is specifically tailored to your skin type, in order to promote the restoration of the skin’s own moisture balance while reducing shine.

This is what combination skin is like:

• oily shine 
• tends to develop impurities in the T-zone 
• the cheek area is more dry

Does the skin on your face look rough and flaky? Dry skin lacks moisture and lipids – i.e. fats. It is therefore less elastic, may be quite sensitive, it is tight and, in many cases, tends to itch. It reacts to environmental influences in particular by becoming irritated. With special face care creams, you can restore its moisture stores and strengthen your skin’s protective barriers.

This is what dry skin is like: 

• tight and tends to itch
• rough and flaky appearance
• reacts quickly to external influences such as temperature

Unproblematic skin: Often this is referred to as “normal” skin which is a term widely used to refer to well-balanced skin (i.e. not too oily and not too dry). The skin on your face is supple and soft and looks fine-pored. Even committing occasional beauty crimes won’t do it too much harm. But to keep its healthy appearance, even unproblematic skin needs the best moisturiser and sun protection! It’s important to develop your personal skin care routine!

This is what normal skin is like:

• soft, fine-pored, unproblematic
• rosy complexion
• well circulated and elastic
