What skin type are you?

Combination skin or dry skin? Normal, blemished or sensitive skin? Every skin type has different characteristics. You’ll find all the important information to allow you to find out your skin type here.

Combination Skin

Skin type 1: combination skin

Combination skin takes its name from the fact that it is a combination of two skin types: normal to dry skin and oily, blemished skin. 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 normal to dry. Choose a care product that is specifically tailored to your skin type, in order to promote the restoration of the skin’s own moisture balance.

This is what combination skin is like:

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

Your T-zone needs extra attention

Tips for combination skin

Cleanse your skin thoroughly before applying facial care products.
Use lukewarm water instead of hot or ice-cold water.
Regularly use a moisturiser – a hazelnut-sized amount is enough!
Choose a product that is especially suited to combination skin.

Dry Skin

Skin type 2: dry skin

Does your skin look rough and flaky? Dry skin lacks moisture and lipids – i.e. fats. It is therefore less elastic, it is tight and, in many cases, tends to itch. It reacts to environmental influences in particular by becoming irritated. With special 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

Your skin’s moisture balance is extremely important

Tips for dry skin

You can help your skin from within by having a healthy diet. Drink 2 litres of still water every day.
Day creams with sun protection factor protect your skin from UV radiation.
A serum is a perfect addition to your moisturising care.
Care products with natural oils relax your skin.

Normal Skin

Skin type 3: normal skin

Supple and soft, fine-pored and a rosy complexion: if that’s what you see when you look in the mirror, then you have normal skin. Even committing occasional beauty crimes won’t do it too much harm. But to keep its healthy appearance, even normal skin needs moisture and protection. Develop your personal care routine!
