Skin/hair types

Dry skin is characterised by a disruption in cellular cohesion (skin barrier), a deficiency in natural moisturising factors (NMF), and an insufficiency in the production of lipids. This lack of hydrolipidic film exposes the epidermis to external aggressions and causes water loss. What is the skin barrier? What are the signs associated with its disruption?

Oily skin, sensitive skin, mature skin... it can sometimes be challenging to distinguish between these terms. However, to provide the care to incorporate into your daily beauty routine that suits us, it is important to understand your skin and especially its nature. Skin type, skin condition... we explain everything.

Unlike dry skin, which lacks lipids, dehydrated skin lacks water. It feels tight, shows accentuated lines and reveals dehydration fine lines. What skincare routine suits dehydrated skin? Here are our guidelines if you recognise this skin profile.

Even today, some consumers are unaware of their skin type and apply unsuitable products. However, before even attempting to provide care for your skin, it is crucial to conduct a skin diagnosis to decode its needs and characteristics. The ultimate goal is to enable users to have a better understanding of their skin, its health, and thus select and adapt the treatments to use accordingly. What does a skin diagnosis entail? On what criteria is it developed? Let's decode.

Even before seeking to provide it with the best possible care, it is important to learn to understand your skin. Dry, normal, combination or oily, each skin type has its own specific characteristics, which may sometimes change over time. In addition to skincare brands’ skin diagnostics and dermatological tests, it is also possible to infer your skin type by relying on “surface clues”. In this article, we explain how to carry out your own skin diagnosis at home and outline the key indicators to consider in order to identify your skin type and provide it with the care it needs.

Dry skin and dehydrated skin are not synonymous, contrary to some misconceptions. Tightness, discomfort, increased sensitivity... the symptoms may seem similar, but their origins and solutions differ. How can we distinguish between dry skin and dehydrated skin? Let's explore some tips together.
