Normal, dry, combination, sensitive skin?

Normal skin

Normal skin is balanced: neither too dry nor too oily. It looks healthy, radiant, with small pores and a smooth, even texture. It doesn't show excessive shine or flaking.

It's a skin type that's more common in childhood and less common in adulthood, although some fortunate people maintain this balance thanks to good nutrition, hydration, rest, and proper care.

How to take care of it?

Although it's less demanding, it still requires gentle daily cleansing, light moisturizer, and sun protection. Avoid overloading it with unnecessary products.

Dry skin

Dry skin produces less natural oil (sebum), which causes a feeling of tightness , roughness, and even flaking. It may appear dull and is more prone to irritation and premature aging.

It tends to have fewer blemishes , but can react negatively to aggressive products such as soaps with alcohol, strong exfoliants or extreme temperatures.

How to take care of it?

Look for products rich in moisturizing and nourishing ingredients , such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or plant-based oils. Creams should be thicker and more restorative. Avoid very hot water and opt for gentle cleansers.

Oily skin

This skin type is characterized by an overproduction of sebum , especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). It tends to have more visible pores, shine, and is more prone to acne, blackheads, and blemishes.

Despite its appearance, it can also dehydrate , so you shouldn't skip moisturizing (although with oil-free or non-comedogenic products).

How to take care of it?

Opt for products that regulate sebum without drying out your skin, such as those containing niacinamide, salicylic acid, or zinc . Avoid heavy or oily textures and remember: less is more .

Combination skin

Combination skin combines oily areas (usually the T-zone) with drier or normal-sized areas (cheeks, eye contour). It's one of the most common skin types and can be challenging because it requires balancing products or even different routines for each area.

How to take care of it?

Choose specific products for combination skin or combine spot treatments. A balancing gel for the T-zone and a more nourishing cream for dry areas can be a good solution. The key is to observe and adapt .

Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin reacts easily to external factors (cold, heat, pollution) or cosmetic ingredients. It may present redness, itching, pimples, or dryness. It is not a skin type in itself, but a condition that can affect any skin type.

How to take care of it?

Less is more. Use hypoallergenic, fragrance- and alcohol-free products with soothing ingredients like aloe vera, calendula, centella asiatica, or colloidal oatmeal . Whenever you try a new product, first try it on a small area of your arm or behind your ear.

Can skin type change?

Yes, and it's totally normal—your skin isn't static . It can change with the seasons, age, stress, hormones, or even the use of certain products. Listening to your skin isn't just about looking at it; it's also about feeling how it responds . Pay attention to what it's asking for and take care of it lovingly. Because if you give it what it needs, you'll have skin you'll envy.
