Frequently asked questions about skin types
There are five basic skin types: normal skin, dry skin, oily skin, combination skin and sensitive skin. Each skin type has its own characteristics and care needs.
You can determine your skin type by observing your skin after cleansing. If it feels oily after a few hours, you probably have oily skin. If it feels tight or flaky, you have dry skin. Combination skin shows both oily and dry areas, while normal skin is balanced. Sensitive skin reacts easily to products and environmental influences.
Normal skin has a balanced oil and moisture production, is neither too oily nor too dry, has few blemishes and an even texture. It rarely tends to become irritated and has a healthy and radiant appearance.
Dry skin often feels tight and rough, can flake and itch, has fine pores and is prone to redness and irritation. It produces less sebum, which leads to moisture loss.
Oily skin produces excess sebum, which leads to a shiny appearance, enlarged pores and a tendency to blemishes and acne. It often feels oily and can be particularly problematic in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)
Combination skin shows characteristics of both oily and dry skin. The T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is often oily, while the cheek areas can be dry or normal. It is important to use products that balance both skin types.
Sensitive skin reacts easily to environmental factors and skin care products, which can lead to redness, itching, burning and dryness. It can be prone to allergies and irritations and requires particularly gentle care products
Mature skin is typically thinner, drier and less elastic. It is prone to wrinkles and age spots. Care products for mature skin should be rich in moisture, antioxidants and active ingredients such as retinol and peptides to firm and regenerate the skin.

Oily skin benefits from products that control excess sebum. Use light, oil-free moisturizers and gentle cleansers that won't clog pores. Regular exfoliation can help remove excess oil and dead skin cells.
Sensitive skin should be treated with very mild, hypoallergenic products. Avoid fragrances, alcohol and harsh ingredients. Use soothing and moisturizing products to minimize irritation.
