Combination Skin

Normal skin is well balanced. Your skin feels neither dry nor oily, you have little or no redness, sensitivity or blemishes, your complexion is even and your skin feels smooth and supple.

What causes normal skin?

You naturally have normal skin. The sebaceous glands produce just enough sebum to protect your skin and keep it supple, without making it greasy. You have a healthy skin barrier, so the risk of dehydration, irritation and sensitivity is very small. However, you can upset normal skin by using harsh skincare or products meant for another skin type. Good care helps keep your normal skin healthy and beautiful.

Which ingredients work well for normal skin?

• Hyaluronic acid - Can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in moisture and hydrates intensively.
• Glycerin - Hydrates intensively and has a softening effect.
• Vitamin C - Stimulates collagen production, protects against free radicals and brightens the complexion.
• Peptides (general) - Proteins that contribute to firm, elastic skin.
• Green tea - Rich in antioxidants and helps prevent sun damage. It is also anti-inflammatory.

Which skincare routine helps balance normal skin?

Choose a gentle cleanser without irritating ingredients such as alcohol and fragrance. These ingredients can dry out the skin or stimulate sebum production. Protect your skin against premature ageing by applying SPF every day. Use a hydrating cream (with vitamin C or green tea, for example) during the day if you are young. You can also use an anti-wrinkle cream or a firming cream if you have more mature, normal skin. Match your night cream to your skin's needs. Use a light, repairing cream or a nourishing anti-ageing cream (with peptides, for instance).
