Tell me what type of skin you have and I’ll tell you which cosmetic routine suits you best

We can say that there are mainly 5 skin types: oily, combination, dry, sensitive and normal. Do you know which one is yours? From Freshly Cosmetics, they explain the most common features of each of them so you know how to identify it. And especially to know with which products you can best treat your hair!

OILY SKIN: This type of skin is characterized by a naturally high sebum production. This excess oil can cause acne, blackheads, pimples, open pores and more to shine. For this reason, with this type of skin, it is advisable to cleanse the face in the morning and evening to remove the excess sebum it produces.

MIXED SKIN: It combines two types of skin, oily and dry. We can identify it because the T-zone of the face (which includes the forehead, nose and chin) is usually oilier, while the cheeks are more dry. In any case, with this type of skin, we should not use products that cause more sebum secretion, while we will try to moisturize the driest areas.

Any recommended products for these skin types? Look for active ingredients like azelaic acid (perfect for regulating sebum production), salicylic acid (to clear pores), or niacinamide. We recommend eg. the AZELAIC RADIANCE FACIAL TREATMENT from Freshly Cosmeticsa facial treatment specially designed for reactive and acne-prone skin.

Him too ROSE QUARTZ FACIAL CLEANSER from Freshly Cosmetics, a physiological pH cleansing gel for the face that cleanses and removes residue and impurities, and provides an extraordinary concentration of plant active ingredients to regulate sebum secretion and reduce open pores.

DRY SKIN: Unlike the first, dry skin has a hard time producing the necessary sebum naturally to maintain proper hydration balance, which is why this type of skin tends to flake and redness. In cases of excessive dryness, it looks tight and rough and shows signs of premature aging. We detect dry facial skin around the eyes, on the cheeks or on the hands.

Are there any recommended products for this type of skin? Look for agents such as hyaluronic acid or plant extracts. We recommend eg. Belif Moisturizing Bomb Moisturizer which is formulated with comfrey extract, a powerful moisturizing active ingredient that provides deep, long-lasting hydration.

SENSITIVE AND/OR ATOPIC SKIN: This type of skin tends to suffer from dehydration, dehydration and existing irritations, redness and blemishes. These symptoms can be caused by internal factors such as age, genetics or by external factors such as pollution or solar radiation.

Are there any recommended products for this type of sensitive skin? We recommend eg. Bioderma Atoderm cream, an emollient cream-gel with a light texture, fast absorption and very refreshing, which manages to soothe very dry, irritated or atopic skin and strengthen the skin barrier.

Also the SVR Sensifine AR Creaman intensive moisturizing, soothing and anti-redness treatment that provides immediate and long-lasting comfort to sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.
