Dry, oily and normal skin

When choosing a cosmetic product we always wonder how we recognize what type of skin we have and what it needs. Let’s see together how to get to know our skin better and how to understand its needs in order to choose the right products for us.

The different types of skin and their characteristics

We can categorize skin types in three major groups:

1)      dry skin

2)      oily skin

3)      normal skin

and we can consider combination skin as skin that presents areas with an oily tendency and areas with a normal or even dry tendency.

Dry skin

If we feel our face tense and irritated, our skin is dry. Dry skin can be the consequence of a lack of sebum (alipidic skin) or a lack of hydration (dehydrated skin), in any case, when we are faced with dry skin, the cause is always the lack of these two factors: hydration or lipids.

Those with dry skin also have to deal with the fragility of their skin, poor elasticity, red spots, itching, fine lines around eyes and mouth and frequent irritation as the barrier skin’s function fails.

Oily skin

Oily skin manifests through some of the following signs: oiliness, shiny skin, acne, dullness, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads, dry skin on the surface but comedonic underneath. In all cases, oily skin is characterized by a non correct production and / or regulation of sebum by the skin. Whatever your type of oily skin, there are some fundamental steps to keep in mind: cleanse deeply, apply a regenerating serum, use sebum-regulating creams, purify and exfoliate if possible with an enzymatic, and therefore non-aggressive, product and always moisturize with a fast-absorbing serum with a light consistency.

Normal skin

Finally, normal skin is the skin in healthy condition, it is well hydrated thanks to a healthy hydrolipidic film and an effective microcirculation that guarantees oxygenation to the skin. In this case it is important to follow a correct and balanced skincare routine to maintain the health and normal condition of the skin through thorough cleansing and deep hydration with a serum and face cream that help maintain an effective microcirculation.
