In the latest article on our blog, we tell you how to identify the type of skin on your face (dry, combination or oily). After knowing what it is like, we want to continue helping you and giving you some tips on how to take care of it.

Each type of skin needs specific care

As we were saying, depending on your type of skin, you will need to apply a specific type of care. We start with the classification so that you can learn how to get the most out of your natural beauty and show off your beautiful skin.

MIXED SKIN. The "T" zone will be your greatest concern

As its name already indicates, this type of skin is characterized by being a mix between normal-dry skin and oily skin or skin with impurities.

We detail some of its characteristics:

- Shiny appearance

- The "T" zone * of the face has impurities such as acne or is oilier in that area.

- The cheeks are usually between dry and normal.

(*) The T zone is the set of forehead, nose and chin. It is an area more prone to the presence of fat.

There are specific care routines for this type of skin. Here are some tips that will make your day-to-day life easier:

- Deep cleaning: this is a basic and essential step. Clean skin will help remove impurities and help your skin "breathe".

- Use warm water, not very hot or cold.

- Apply moisturizers regularly to your skin.

- Balance is essential: use specific products for your skin type. You should not oil it excessively, but you should not stop moisturizing it either.

DRY SKIN. The importance of achieving an ideal balance

Instead, dry skin is named for a lack of hydration and lipids (oil) in the skin. The visible result of this typology of skin is scaling or a rough appearance.

We detail some of its characteristics:

- Little elasticity: you will notice tighter skin and if it is very dry, you could notice itching on some occasions.

- Irritation: this factor is usually due to temperature changes and to external environmental factors.

- To increase hydration: it is very important to drink 2 liters of water a day and eat a healthy diet to benefit your skin.

- Sun protection: use creams with sun protection to care for your skin.

- Serums: they are essential to complement your facial routine and help prepare the skin to more easily absorb subsequent moisturizers.

NORMAL SKIN. The routine is super important for you

When we talk about normal skin, we mean skin that looks elastic, smooth, and rosy in color.

If these characteristics match you, it means that your skin has its natural balance.

We detail some of its characteristics:

- Uniform skin: the pores of the skin are small and clean.

- Soft and natural appearance

- Pink hue

- You have good circulation and therefore good elasticity

- Having a good routine for your skin during the day and night will help you maintain your natural balance.

- Maintain good circulation: spread your creams with gentle movements all over the face.

- Use a specific cream for the eye contour, to enhance a dazzling look.

OILY SKIN. Consistency will ensure an impeccable face

Another of the problems that skins have is the presence of fat and in this case, this type presents an excess of fat. The possible causes of this effect are genetic predisposition, stress and hormonal changes.

We detail some of its characteristics:

- The pores of the skin are large, that is, they have a large size

- Presence of acne and/or pimples

- Presents a constant and highly visible brightness

- Exfoliate the skin, 1 or 2 times a week, especially using gentle exfoliants to remove impurities and dead cells you have.

- Do not touch the pimples.

SENSITIVE SKIN. You must have patience and let it rest

It may be that this type of skin is the most delicate when it comes to caring for it and trying to achieve its natural balance.

As its name suggests, sensitive skin is one that is altered by external factors such as stress, UV light, etc. Being so sensitive, the skin needs special care to provide relief and reinforce its natural barriers, making it more resistant and thus avoiding sudden changes.

We detail some of its characteristics:

- You have a feeling of tightness, itching and irritation
