How can you identify your skin type before buying a dermo-cosmetic product?
To get the most out of a dermo-cosmetic product, it’s essential to know your skin type. Each skin type reacts differently to the ingredients and formulas used in products. Here are a few tips to help you determine your skin type and choose the right products.
To identify your skin type, simply take a moment to observe your skin.
- Skin thickness: Gently pinch your skin. Is it thin or thick? Oily skin is generally thicker, while normal or dry skin has a more standard thickness.
- Visual appearance: Does your skin look shiny or dull? Is your complexion even or uneven? When you run your hand over your face, do you feel any irregularities, such as roughness or blemishes?
- Skin sensitivity: Does your skin have imperfections such as pimples, blackheads, or enlarged pores? Does it react easily to the cold or after a shower with redness, tightness, or tingling?
Normal skin: If you’re lucky enough to have normal skin, it’s supple, comfortable, and has few or no imperfections. It’s smooth, with tight pores, and doesn’t shine.
Dry skin: Dry skin lacks sebum, which means it’s low in lipids. The hydrolipidic film, which protects the skin, becomes too permeable, and the skin dehydrates easily. Dry skin often feels tight, has tight pores, and may be prone to irritation or flaking.
Oily skin:Oily skin produces excess sebum, which can lead to a buildup of impurities on the face. It tends to be shiny, has enlarged pores, and is often prone to blackheads and acne breakouts.
Combination skin: Combination skin is characterized by a mix of oily areas (often in the T-zone: forehead, nose, and chin) and normal to dry areas on the rest of the face. This duality requires skincare tailored to each specific area.
Which dermo-cosmetic product should you choose based on your skin type?
Taking care of your skin means, above all, getting to know it well. Dry, oily, combination… each skin type has its own specific needs and deserves special attention. Choosing the right dermo-cosmetic products not only improves the appearance of your skin but also strengthens your skin barrier, prevents imbalances, and restores comfort in your daily routine. Cleansers, makeup removers, moisturizers, targeted treatments, or weekly masks: each skin type has its own specific textures, active ingredients, and routines. Whether you have tight skin, a shiny complexion, or localized areas of shine, discover below the essential tips for building an effective routine that’s gentle on your skin.
Which dermo-cosmetic products should you choose for dry skin?
- Cleansers and makeup removers: Those with dry skin should use gentle cleansers, such as a floral water or a gel. A cleanser that’s too harsh can exacerbate dehydration. For makeup removal, opt for nourishing textures like cleansing milk or oil.
- Daily Care: Dry skin on the body can also benefit from specific dermo-cosmetic products. In fact, the skin on the body can easily become dry, especially in areas like the legs, elbows, and knees. It’s essential to use moisturizing and nourishing products rich in lipids, such as body balms or creams made with shea butter or plant-based oils (argan, sweet almond). These products help restore the skin barrier and lock in moisture.
- Weekly care: A gentle exfoliation—whether chemical or enzymatic—is recommended to remove dead skin cells without irritating the skin. Complete your routine with a nourishing mask to deeply rehydrate the skin.
What dermo-cosmetic products should you buy for oily, shiny skin?
- Cleansers and Makeup Removers: Choose a purifying lotion to cleanse your skin. For removing makeup, micellar water is ideal because it’s non-greasy and lightweight.
- Daily Care: Some people experiencebreakouts on areas of the body, such as the back or shoulders, due to excessive sebum production. Appropriate purifying products, such as antibacterial shower gels or salicylic acid-based lotions, can help prevent and treat breakouts. It’s also recommended to use gentle scrubs to exfoliate the skin regularly and unclog pores.
- Weekly Skincare: Exfoliation should be done in moderation, about every 10 to 15 days. Opt for a grain-based scrub to remove impurities, then apply a purifying and absorbent mask to mattify the skin.
What facial care products should you choose at the drugstore for combination skin?
- Cleansers and Makeup Removers: Those with combination skin can use a cleansing and purifying foam. For makeup removal, micellar water or a gel is recommended.
- Daily Skincare: Daily moisturizing is essential for all skin types. Choose a light lotion or body milk to moisturize without weighing the skin down, or a richer cream if your skin is dry or dehydrated. Always apply your moisturizer after a shower or bath, while the skin is still slightly damp, to maximize the product’s absorption.
- Weekly Care: A gentle exfoliation once a week is sufficient. For the face, a green clay mask or another purifying mask can help regulate excess sebum, while a more hydrating treatment is suitable for other parts of the body.
