Know your skin type
July 29 2024 – Katarzyna Zielinska
Welcome to Gyldne Epler! Knowing your skin type is the first step in selecting the right products.. We have identified four main skin types to help you determine which category you fall into and understand the best care for your skin.
4 main skin types:Dry skin - if you feel like you have to use moisturizer after washing and it absorbs a lot of mosturizer, if your skin is "tight", easy to irritate, sometimes flaky.
Needs gentle cleansing, regular gentle peelings, good moisturising (heavier products or more layers).
Oily skin - if your skin is very glowy, produces a lot of sebum, you feel like a lot of moisturizer is too heavy for you.
Needs solid but not to harsh cleansing, regular peelings, moisturizer with light or gel formula.
Combination skin - if part of your face has dry type and part has an oily type of skin.
Needs regular, yet gentle clensing with more attencion on oily area, ligthweight but solid moisturizing. Some cosmetics like serum or mask should be different to different area of your face.
Normal skin - well regulated skin, easy to maintain. Very common among youg kids, rare among teenagers and adults.
Needs basic routine and products to maintain good condition.
Complimentary characteristics:
Reactivity - very sensitive skin, a lot of cosmetics cause irritation, often itchy or burning sensation.
Redness - very easy to blush because of temperature changing, emotions etc. sometimes the blush is permanent.
Acne or pimples - could be due to hormonal issues, diet, genetics, inappropriate skin care, enviromental conditions. More serious cases need to be consulted with a doctor. Skincare could eliminate the cause or compliment medical treatment.
Dehydration - loss of elasticity, facial lines might be more visible, often paired with the dry skin type but not exclusively. It's a temporary state, wich could be changed with enough attencion.
Wrinkles - skin with less elasticity due to the aging process - facial fat loss and less colagen. In the contriary of dehydration facial lines, we can't remove it with skincare. We could make them appear less with dedicated routine and slow down the creation process.
Defining your skin type and characteristics will help you match the products to your needs. If you want my guidance don't hesitate to write an email with questions!
