How to identify your skin type

With age, the environment, hormonal changes and external aggressions, our skin changes.

To identify your skin type, it’s vital to know its characteristics :

• Normal skin: This is balanced skin that shows no signs of major imperfections.
  It is soft, supple and doesn’t suffer from a lack of hydratation.
• Dry skin: From tightness to redness and itching, dry skin deserves special attention. Deficient in lipids, dry skin also tends to become dehydrated due to a noneffective/porous protective barrier that encourages evaporation. Good hydration is key.
•  Oily skin: It has imperfections, shiny areas and excess sebum. The skin is also characterised by enlarged pores, blackheads and disrupted sebum production.
• Combination skin: This skin type is the most difficult to identify. It is characterised by oily areas: the forehead, nose, chin (the T-zone) and by drier areas
  around the cheeks.

Now that we know our skin type, we can choose products tailored to our needs.

• Normal skin: A routine consisting of a day cream and moisturising night cream is enough to maintain the skin’s balance.
• Dry skin: Ultra-nourishment is the key to a healthy complexion if your skin is naturally dry. To make sure you don’t go wrong, choose daily moisturisers with rich and comfortable textures.
• Oily skin: Avoid products that aggravate the skin and stimulate excessive sebum production. Exfoliating once a week will be beneficial. Choose skincare products with
  light gel textures to prevent the skin from becoming too oily.
• Combination skin: Choose products that regulate sebum in the T-zone while preserving hydration on the rest of the face. Matte skincare products are also our best
  allies for beautiful skin.
