What is your skin type?

We all have a very specific type of skin it is quite difficult to define as it evolves over time depending on age, hormones but also external factors such as climate, temperature, heating, pollution , lifestyle ... but to choose a cosmetic with very specific assets, we must still define the physiology of our skin. Is it rather dry, oily, combination, sensitive?

Dry skin

Skin usually thin and beautiful, without pores, dry skin is nevertheless a source of tightness and discomfort. Less flexible than normal skin, it can become dull, be rough and will tend to blush. The reasons for dry skin are manifold. The stratum corneum water shortage, the hydrolipidic film located on the surface is too late and no longer protects the skin, sebum is missing ... hence the need to compensate this dehydration by appropriate care for dry skin every day. Cosmetics that nourish deep and restore skin suppleness and radiance.
Oily skin

Its grain is thicker, the pores are dilated and the general appearance of the skin is dull, fat and sleek. This type of skin is conducive to buttons and blackheads and excess sebum permanent long-term causes thickening of the horny layer. This skin can be both fat and out of water, that is to say be dehydrated. Oily skin is fragile and requires sensitive care needs. If mattifying serum blur and other creams are its allies, too abrasive products come on the contrary, can ignite and cause an increase sebum. Oily skin must be treated gently.

Combination skin

Dryer where the sebaceous glands are rare (temples, cheekbones and jaw), combination skin becomes fat on the midline of the face (forehead, nose and chin). It is difficult to choose her cosmetics. But good news, there is now cosmetic moisturizers that combine assets and rebalancing components to regulate the flow of sebum. Just as oily or dry skin, combination skin does not like too astringent cleansers and prefers cleansing milks, non-greasy moisturizers. If necessary, it is quite possible to apply a rich cream on the parts of the face where the skin is drier.

Sensitive skin

20% of women have a real problem of skin sensitive and 40% frequently experience tightness and discomfort. Dry, oily or combination, all skin can be sensitive. This results in unwanted redness, tingling and burning. Factors causing skin reactions in sensitive skin are numerous: the application of cosmetics, climatic variations, certain foods, stress and even water or simply rubbing clothes affect the sensitivity of the skin.
