Before choosing your products for your skin care routine , correctly identify your skin typeOur skin sends us valuable signals about its specific needs - you still have to know how to interpret them!


Oily, dry, combination or sensitive skin: easily recognize them


Our skin is classified into four main types, determined by our genetic heritage:


  • There oily skin produces too much sebum. You will recognize it by its shiny appearance, its pores dilated and visible, especially on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin). It is generally thicker, with an irregular grain and often presents blackheads and blemishes.

  • There dry skin lack of sebum compared to normal skin. Without these essential lipids, it does not retain moisture well. It feels tight, seems rough to the touch and sometimes dull. Its pores are very fine, almost invisible. You will often feel discomfort and may observe redness.

  • There combination skin combines two types on the same face: usually oily on the T-zone and normal or dry on the cheeksThis uneven distribution of sebum can become more pronounced with hormonal variations.

  • There normal skin , rarer, presents a perfect balance: neither too much fat neither too much dried, with a even complexion And few imperfections.

Why knowing your skin type is essential


Correctly identify your skin type is the basis of a skin care effective. Each skin type has its own specific needs requiring appropriate care. A cleanser that is too harsh on dry skin will worsen the pulling, while a cream too rich on oily skin will accentuate shine and imperfections.


Poor knowledge of your skin type can causeAdverse reactions: redness, irritation or worsening of existing problems. Sensitive skin react particularly quickly to unsuitable products.


2 simple tests to identify your skin type at home

THE absorbent paper test consists of delicately applying a tissue on different areas of the face, one hour after cleaning. Traces of sebum on all paper? Oily skin. Traces only on the T zone? Combination skin. No trace? Dry or normal skin.
