The basis of conscious skincare is to know our skin type and accordingly select the best active ingredients and skincare products for its care. Skin types are usually present in combination and may be associated with sensitivity. Our skin type changes with age and other influencing factors such as our lifestyle. Two types of seborrheic skin types are distinguished. One is dandruff- the other is oily seborrheic skin.
Bran seborrhea
Bran seborrhea begins at a young age and can last up to the age of forty. In all cases, it is coupled with a lack of surface water. The skin is pale in color and shiny but often becomes slightly oily by the end of the day. It is rough to the touch and peeling dandruff, with blackheads in the pores that are difficult to squeeze out. The most important thing is to remove the horn plates that are coming off, to normalize the function of the sebaceous glands, and to restore proper hydration. This is exactly why I use a BHA cleanser that I have written about before.
Oily seborrhea
Oily seborrhea begins at a young age and can rarely occur with or without a lack of surface water. Smooth to the touch, grease quickly. The pores are wide with easily squeezable blackheads. For this skin type, our basic treatment goal is to regulate the function of the sebaceous glands, tighten pores, increase metabolism, and ensure proper hydration.
Dehydrated skin
It is characterized by pale, matte, slightly rough skin with reduced elasticity. Blackheads also appear in the pores that are difficult to squeeze out. Lack of water also appears in the deeper layers, leading to the formation of wrinkles. In addition to hydration, the proper water-binding effect is also important, so that the further regeneration process of the skin is restarted and the smaller wrinkles fade.
Dry skin, ie lack of fat
The skin type is characterized by a fresh, often reddish, matte, and dull color. It reacts to changes in the weather with redness, is rough to the touch, and exfoliates like a powder. The purpose of the treatment of oily skin is to remove the horn plates that are coming off, increase hydration, regeneration, fat replacement, and soothing.
