Your skin type can change due to various factors, including age, hormone levels, climate, diet, and the use of certain medications. For example, the skin may become oilier during puberty and drier as we age. It is important to regularly assess your skin type to ensure that you are using the right products for your skin.
Yes, especially if you have combination skin, it can be beneficial to use different products for different areas of your face. For example, you could use a moisturizing cream for the dry cheeks and a mattifying product for the oily T-zone. However, it is important to ensure that the products work well together and do not contain conflicting ingredients.

The skin is not only our largest organ, but also a reflection of our inner health and well-being. It protects us from external influences, regulates body temperature, and plays a crucial role in sensory perception. However, just as every person is unique, so is their skin. Each skin type has specific needs and challenges. By knowing and understanding your skin type, you can selectively choose the right care products and unlock the full potential of your skin. In this article, we delve deep into the world of skin types and provide you with valuable tips for optimal care.
Our skin is as unique as our personality. To care for it optimally, it is crucial to know its specific type and its needs. These are the five skin types and their characteristic features:
Dry skin produces less sebum (skin oil) than normal skin, leading to a lack of necessary lipids that protect the skin and retain moisture. This can be caused by genetic factors, environmental conditions, or excessive washing.
Characteristics of dry skin:
Dry skin requires extra moisture and care. It tends to age faster and is more prone to irritation. It is important to use products that strengthen the skin barrier and increase the skin's moisture levels.
Sensitive skin reacts easily to external factors or certain ingredients in care products. This can be caused by genetic factors, skin conditions, or aggressive skincare products.
Characteristics:
Sensitive skin often reacts to specific ingredients in cosmetic products or environmental factors. It is essential to use mild products and avoid aggressive substances.
Normal skin has a well-balanced sebum and moisture production, making it resilient to external influences. It is neither too oily nor too dry and is considered the "ideal" skin type.
Characteristics of normal skin:
Despite normal skin being considered the "ideal" skin type, it still requires regular care to maintain its condition and protect it from external influences.
Oily skin is the result of excessive sebum production. This can be influenced by genetic factors, hormonal changes, or even stress.
Characteristics of oily skin:
Oily skin produces more sebum (skin oil) than other skin types. This can lead to clogged pores and acne. It is important to use products that regulate sebum production and deeply cleanse the pores.
Combination skin combines features of both oily and dry skin. This can be caused by uneven sebum production in different areas of the face.
Characteristics of Combination Skin:
Combination skin can be challenging as it exhibits characteristics of both dry and oily skin. A balanced skincare routine that addresses both areas is crucial.
Our skin tells a story - of our genes, our environment, and the decisions we make regarding its care. Each skin type brings its own challenges and beauties. By understanding our skin type and providing it with the right care and attention, we can not only address current skin issues, but also prevent future ones. Investing in custom skincare tailored to your specific skin type is an investment in your well-being, your confidence, and your future.
