How do I know what my skin type is?
By Levid Cosmetics
Surely you have asked yourself this question at some point and perhaps, to this day, you still don't know for sure what skin type you have or you have a wrong concept. If so, don't worry because we are going to clarify it for you and when you finish reading this article, you won't have any doubts left!
Did you know that the appearance of the skin changes over the years? We will not always have the same skin, which is why it is of vital importance to identify your skin type in order to apply the appropriate treatment.
Dry skin, how do I identify it?
Dry skin is skin that flakes easily, has trouble retaining moisture, produces little sebum, and is often irritated. This type of skin needs products with extra hydration that eliminate the unpleasant feeling of tightness and reinforce the hydrolipidic barrier.
Among the best active ingredients for dry skin found in the Vin - Up Lift Essential line, we highlight glycerin, argan oil, Aloe vera, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and chamomile extract, which, in addition to hydrating, regenerating, and soothing the face, prevent skin aging.
Oily skin, what characteristics does it have?
Oily skin is skin that produces too much sebum and, consequently, shine appears. It is also prone to the appearance of acne and blackheads. For this type of skin, non-comedogenic products with fluid textures are recommended, especially those containing sebum regulators to control oil production and avoid clogged pores.
One of the most common mistakes is thinking that essential oils are not suitable for oily skin because they hydrate the skin, when in reality what oily skin needs is also hydration, since if it becomes dehydrated, it produces even more sebum.
Among the active ingredients recommended for oily skin, we find jojoba oil, grape seed oil, and lavender oil, which are present in our Vin - up Lift Essential line.
Combination skin, the most common
Combination skin is simply a combination of oily and dry skin where parts with sebum overproduction appear in what we call the "T" zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and other dry parts such as the cheeks and eye contour, where there is a lipid deficit. For this type of skin, it is very important to use the ideal combination of active ingredients that allows for balancing this excess sebum and lack of hydration.
Among the different active ingredients, we find jojoba oil, which hydrates the skin without adding oil; witch hazel extract, with anti-inflammatory properties that prevent acne-related breakouts; Aloe vera, which in addition to being an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, is a natural moisturizer; and vitamin C, which provides luminosity to the face and also prevents inflammation related to acne.
Normal skin, does it need treatment?
Normal skin, known as "eudermic skin," is that in which there is no excess or deficit of sebum; that is, there is a balance of water and lipids. It is usually luminous skin without shine, but it also needs hydration and protection to maintain a healthy appearance.
Taking care of your skin, regardless of the type you have, is essential to improve its appearance, brighten your face, and feel better. So don't hesitate and start your Vin - up Lift Essential beauty routine, suitable for all skin types!
