Common skin concerns – and what helps
← All topics: Skin & Hair Knowledge
Weather, heated air, stress or unsuitable products – many things can upset your skin's balance. Here you'll find the most common skin concerns and how to support your skin with targeted care.
1Dry, rough skin
Typical: feeling of tightness, fine flakes
Possible causes: too few lipids, overly harsh cleansing, cold air or heated indoor air
What helps:
- mild cleansing without alcohol
- hydration, e.g. with aloe vera or hyaluronic acid
- replenishing oils such as jojoba or almond
MoNature tip: Massage a few drops of plant oil into still-damp skin right after showering – this keeps the moisture in your skin.
2Oily, shiny skin
Typical: shine in the T-zone, visible pores, often blemishes
Possible causes: active sebaceous glands – often in response to overly harsh care or hormonal changes
What helps:
- don't dry it out – mildly clarifying and hydrating care
- balancing plant extracts such as witch hazel, sage or green tea
MoNature tip: Light, non-comedogenic oils such as grape seed or jojoba feel pleasant even on oily skin.
3Blemishes
Typical: individual spots or blemished areas, often on the chin or forehead
Possible causes: clogged pores from overly rich care, make-up residue, hormones or stress
What helps:
- daily, mild cleansing – remove make-up thoroughly in the evening
- clarifying plant extracts such as tea tree oil, lavender or chamomile
MoNature tip: A hydrosol (e.g. sage or rose water) as a toner refreshes and clarifies – without any alcohol.
4Redness & sensitive skin
Typical: sensitive, slightly reddened skin
Possible causes: fragrances, alcohol, too many products or environmental factors
What helps:
- low-irritant care without fragrances and colourants
- soothing ingredients such as panthenol, oat or calendula
MoNature tip: A simple, mild oil such as almond or squalane cares for the skin barrier – less is often more.
5Dull, tired skin
Typical: greyish complexion, little radiance
Possible causes: lack of sleep, stress, heated air, UV radiation or unsuitable care
What helps:
- gentle facial massage with a little oil – for a fresh look
- antioxidants such as vitamin C or rosehip
- regular, gentle exfoliation
- hydration with aloe vera or hyaluronic acid
MoNature tip: Apply a few drops of oil after your toner – it keeps moisture in the skin and gives a visible glow.
Good to know: Your skin doesn't need ten products – just the right ones. For persistent or severe skin problems, please consult a dermatologist.
