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 you need so that you can choose the best skin care routine for your uniquely beautiful skin type.

Combination Skin

Skin type 1: combination skin

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

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
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

Your T-zone needs extra attention

Tips for combination skin

Use a face wash that cleanses your skin thoroughly before applying skin care products for your face.
Use lukewarm water instead of hot or ice-cold water.
Regularly use a moisturiser – the best moisturizers only need a hazelnut-sized amount!
Choose a product that is especially suited to combination skin.
Night cream ensures you wake up with skin that is refreshed and energised.

Dry Skin

Skin type 2: dry skin

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

Dry 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 for dry skin is a perfect addition to your moisturising care.
Care products with natural oils relax your skin.
Remember to use night cream that is well-suited to your skin type so that your skin rejuvenates while you sleep.
