WHAT IS YOUR SKIN TYPE?
Sensitive, normal and combination skin
Normal skin has a strong and balanced skin barrier. The outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, functions well and protects you from external influences.
Combination skin , or combination skin, shows characteristics of both dry and oily skin. The T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) is often oilier, while the cheeks are drier or normal.
In sensitive skin, the outer layer is damaged. A well-functioning stratum corneum is crucial for the health of the skin, because it contains lipids that keep the skin in balance, regulate moisture and ensure elasticity. If this protective layer is damaged, the skin loses moisture and irritants can penetrate. Sensitive skin can be caused by dry skin, heredity or environmental factors.
Dry and eczema-prone skin
Dry skin is often caused by overly aggressive care products that disrupt the outer skin layer, causing the skin to lose too much moisture. This leads to redness and flaking. Heredity, medication, stress and environmental factors also play a role.
Eczema-prone skin is a chronic condition in which an overactive immune system causes inflammation and damage to the skin barrier. This results in extremely dry, itchy and irritated areas. Eczema is influenced by genetic factors and environmental factors such as allergens and stress.
Couperose and rosacea
Couperose is the presence of dilated red and/or blue blood vessels in the face. This condition is often confused with psoriasis, but unlike psoriasis, people with couperose do not suffer from bumps and pimples.
Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that is mainly recognizable by redness in the face. The most noticeable is the bright red color of the cheeks and nose, in addition you can also suffer from small dilated blood vessels (couperose), bumps and pimples.
Impurities and acne
Contrary to popular belief, acne is not age-related. Acne is a skin condition that both young and old struggle with. The cause? An unbalanced skin balance. Shiny skin, acne, clogged pores ... are usually signs that your skin is malnourished. The lack of nutrients causes your skin to produce extra sebum. When this sebum builds up, pores become clogged and impurities emerge. The result is an unsettled skin that suffers from oiliness such as acne and blackheads.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that causes red scaly patches and itching. The skin may feel better temporarily but will have flare-ups at times, temporarily worsening the problem. Damage to the skin barrier, sunburn, stress and infections have an influence on the symptoms and can therefore have a negative effect. Psoriasis mainly affects me adults (both men and women) and is generally more common in people who smoke or drink alcohol regularly.
Mature skin
As we age, the skin changes. It takes longer for the skin cells of mature skin to renew, and that shows. The skin becomes paler, can discolour locally and shows wrinkles. The blood circulation in the skin also decreases, which reduces the oxygen supply and makes it more difficult to remove waste products. The skin loses moisture and elasticity.
Pregnant skin
Many pregnant women struggle with ailments, including skin problems. With a daily care routine, you can limit the annoying complaints to a minimum. Protect yourself and your baby during your pregnancy with healthy, pure and nourishing care products.
Children's and baby skin
Baby skin is five times thinner than that of an adult. The sebaceous glands are still developing, the skin cells are further apart, and the protective skin layer is not yet fully formed. That is why your baby's skin is so vulnerable and dries out easily.
During and after chemo
Chemo and heavy medication are not only emotionally heavy to bear. They also have a major impact on the skin. These medications are designed to combat rapidly dividing cancer cells, but also affect some healthy, normal rapidly dividing cells (such as skin and hair cells). Many patients suffer from skin changes as a result. With the right care, you can alleviate these annoying ailments.
