Do you know your Skin Types?

Skin types and their characteristics

Every skin is unique and requires care that is precisely tailored to its skin type. Whether normal skin, combination skin, dry, oily, impure, sensitive, or mature skin – here you will find well-founded guidance to determine your skin type and suitable recommendations for professional skincare from the beauty studio. Knowing your skin type allows you to use active ingredients effectively, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve the skin's appearance in the long term.

Recognize causes, understand triggers

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin reacts quickly: redness after cleansing, burning with new products, tightness in cold weather. This is no coincidence – it is a sign of a weakened barrier that lets irritants through more easily than other skin types. Here you will learn how to recognize sensitive skin, what triggers it – and why less is often more.

Understanding Skin Types

Why Knowing Your Skin Type Is Important

Knowing your skin type is not a cosmetic nicety – it's the starting point for care that really works. Without this knowledge, skincare becomes a trial-and-error process: one product after another, without understanding why it helps or doesn't help.
Skin type is genetically determined and remains stable in the long term. It dictates how much sebum the skin produces, how well it retains moisture, and how sensitively it reacts to external influences. These fundamental characteristics hardly change – but they influence every skincare decision.

Those who know their skin type understand why certain textures work and others don't. Why a cream that's perfect for someone else feels too greasy on their own skin or doesn't provide enough moisture. Why redness occurs or why makeup runs after two hours. Behind all these experiences usually lies the same answer: skincare that doesn't match one's own skin type.

Skincare based on skin type doesn't mean more effort – it means less. Fewer products, fewer bad purchases, fewer experiments. And more results.
