Understanding Your Skin Type: The Key to Perfect Skincare

Every person has a unique skin type that requires special care. Whether dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin - understanding your individual skin type is the first step to an effective care routine and a radiant complexion. In this article, you'll learn how to determine your skin type and which products are best suited for it.

Overview of the Four Main Skin Types

Before we delve into individual skin types, it's important to understand that our skin type can change throughout our lives. Factors such as age, hormonal fluctuations, and environmental influences play a role. Here's a brief overview of the four main skin types:

• Normal skin: Balanced, neither too oily nor too dry
• Dry skin: Often feels tight, can be flaky
• Oily skin: Tends to be shiny with enlarged pores
• Combination skin: A mix of dry and oily areas

How to Determine Your Skin Type

To determine your skin type, you can perform a simple test:

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly and wait about an hour.
2. Gently press a tissue on different areas of your face.
3. Analyze the result:

• No oil on the tissue? You likely have normal or dry skin.
• Oil in the T-zone? This indicates combination skin.
• Oil on the entire tissue? You probably have oily skin.

The Right Care for Each Skin Type

Care for Normal Skin

Normal skin is easy to care for but still needs regular attention. Gentle cleansing and adequate moisture are important.

The BIOAQUA Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Replenishment Cream is ideal for normal skin. It provides intense hydration without weighing down the skin. The light texture absorbs quickly and leaves a pleasantly fresh feeling. Hyaluronic acid binds moisture in the skin and ensures a smooth, plump appearance. Used regularly, this cream helps strengthen the natural skin barrier and regulate moisture balance. The result is an even, radiant complexion.

Care for Dry Skin

Dry skin needs particularly rich care and products that strengthen the skin barrier.

The Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a true moisture booster for dry skin. It contains highly concentrated hyaluronic acid, which can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water. This powerful serum penetrates deep into the skin and provides intense hydration. It helps soften fine lines and wrinkles and gives the skin a plumper, more youthful appearance. Used regularly, it noticeably improves skin elasticity and suppleness.

Care for Oily Skin

Oily skin benefits from light, non-comedogenic products that regulate excess oil without drying out the skin.

The Salicylic Acid Exquisite Cream is a game-changer for oily and acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid, the main active ingredient in this cream, penetrates deep into the pores and dissolves dead skin cells. It helps regulate excess oil and prevent clogging. The light, non-greasy formula provides a matte finish without drying out the skin. Used regularly, this cream refines the skin texture, reduces impurities, and creates a more even complexion.

Care for Combination Skin

With combination skin, it's important to treat the different zones of the face individually and use balancing products.

The BIOAQUA Refresh & Moisture Aloe Vera Gel is an ideal solution for combination skin. Aloe vera has balancing properties and can optimally care for both dry and oily skin areas. The light gel provides moisture without leaving a greasy film. It soothes irritated skin, reduces redness, and has a refreshing effect. The cooling texture makes it particularly pleasant to use, especially in the warmer months. Used regularly, this gel helps balance the skin and provides an even, radiant complexion.

Additional Tips for Healthy Skin

In addition to choosing the right products, there are other factors that affect the health and appearance of your skin:

• Sun protection: Apply a high-quality sunscreen daily to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
• Nutrition: A balanced, vitamin-rich diet supports skin health from within.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from the inside.
• Sleep: Adequate sleep is important for skin regeneration.
• Stress management: Chronic stress can negatively affect the skin. Find ways to reduce stress.

By choosing the right products for your individual skin type, you can optimally care for your skin and help it achieve a healthy, radiant appearance.
