What is my skin type?

← All topics: Skin & Hair Knowledge

Every skin has its own needs. Knowing your skin type helps you make more conscious choices – natural, targeted and without detours. This short guide helps you understand your skin better.

THE 4 SKIN TYPES

1Dry skin

  • often looks dull or rough
  • feels tight after washing
  • reacts to cold, wind or certain products

Tip: Rich, soothing care with natural oils.

2Oily skin

  • shines especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)
  • tends towards blemishes and visible pores
  • make-up often doesn't last

Tip: Clarifying but gentle care without alcohol – e.g. light hydrosols or sage.

3Combination skin

  • oily T-zone, cheeks rather dry or normal
  • very common, especially in adults

Tip: Care for balance: don't over-treat oily zones, don't forget the dry ones.

4Sensitive skin

  • quickly reacts with redness or a feeling of tightness
  • doesn't tolerate many products well

Tip: Few, mild ingredients – e.g. aloe vera, oat or chamomile.

SELF-TEST

How to find your skin type

  1. In the morning, wash your face with lukewarm water only – no cream or toner.
  2. Wait about 30 minutes.
  3. Observe: Does your skin feel tight? → rather dry. Does it shine a lot? → rather oily. Both, depending on the area? → combination. Redness or burning? → sensitive.
