Many factors have a direct impact on our skin: our environment, our age, our sex and our genetics... So many causes that condition and put our skin to the test!
If at the base, we all have a defined skin type, on the other hand our skin condition varies over time. To meet the needs of this one, BeautyMix offers you unstoppable active ingredients to personalize your creams according to your expectations and your needs.
So here we go, a little history on the different skin types and the solutions we offer you!
Skin types and skin conditions...
There are four skin types : normal, dry, oily and combination.
Dry skin is lacking in lipids, that is to say lacking in fat . In this case, the protective film of the skin also called "hydrolipidic film" does not produce enough sebum . We recognize dry skin by the feeling of tightness and roughness to the touch. To counter this problem, the skin must be nourished , for example, with a butter or a oil.
Oily skin is skin whose sebaceous glands produce too much of an oily substance called "sebum". People with oily skin often complain of shiny, oily-looking skin. To best deal with this problem, it is advisable to use mattifying or absorbent products.
Regarding combination skin, it shows an imbalance and is characterized by an oily T zone (composed of the chin, nose and forehead) and a rather dry peripheral zone (composed of the cheeks and temples). For this type of skin, the use of products adapted to each area is recommended. For example, you can apply the green clay mask on the T zone and the one at thepink clay on the rest of the face.
Normal skin is basically skin that has none of these problems and would therefore be in perfect balance . However, you can imagine this type of skin is very rare...
Each type of skin is associated with one or more skin conditions . The latter depends on criteria that can be internal (such as stress, diet, etc.), but also external (such as pollution, weather, etc.).
Among these skin conditions we find in particular mature or senescent, sensitive, dehydrated, dull, acne-prone skin , etc. Mature skin is skin with visible wrinkles . In this case, a moisturizing and/or anti-aging active ingredient is recommended.
Sensitive skin is very reactive and is often accompanied by tightness, inflammation and redness . Thus, they must be given soothing and gentle products.
Dehydrated skin, as its name suggests, needs hydration and is considerably lacking in water. They are characterized by fine lines and streaks of dehydration as well as scales (dead skin). In most cases, the skin is dull.
Dull skin lacks radiance. For this, you can perform peels or exfoliation allowing cell renewal. THE apricot kernel powder scrub from BeautyMix is perfect for this kind of problem.
Finally, acneic skin is skin with a specific type of pimples. There are two types of acne: polymorphic juvenile and D'adult. In both cases, consultation with a dermatologist is recommended.
