What are the characteristics of normal skin?
Normal skin types serve as a reference point to characterise others. To the touch, they are soft, smooth, and exhibit neither oily nor dry texture. The skin texture of normal skin is regular and the pores are perfectly tightened. You will also not notice any imperfections on the surface.
Beyond its external appearance, normal skin is characterised by its resilience to external aggressions, notably cold, wind, sun, humidity, or pollution. Indeed, in the face of these aggressive factors, other skin types may feel tight or shiny, while normal skin continues to produce the right amount of sebum necessary for its protection. Despite this, normal skin loses its performance with age. It tends to dry out quite quickly and struggles to regenerate itself.
Which soap should be used to care for normal skin?
Even though normal skin is resistant to external aggressions, it is essential to provide it with the care that meets the needs of the skin cells. To do this, the use of a palmarosa moisturising soap is required. It complements other treatments developed for normal skin, notably orange blossom hydrosol, vitamin C moisturising cream with lemon extract and/or the 9-ingredient lip balm.
The palmarosa moisturising soap is a product of cold saponification. The essential oil of palmarosa possesses various properties that prove beneficial for the skin. Indeed, a specific constituent of this plant, linalool, is utilised to combat the proliferation of bacteria and to treat stubborn acne spots. The palmarosa essential oil also contains beta-caryophyllene, which soothes irritations and hydrates the skin. Thus, this oil accelerates the skin's healing process and promotes the reduction of spots.
What are the benefits of palmarosa soap on normal skin?
The essential ingredients for the production of natural palmarosa soap are vital for purifying the skin and maintaining the balance of the microbiota it contains. The essential oil of palmarosa is the basic active ingredient of this skincare product. It promotes the regeneration of skin cells thanks to the antioxidants it contains. This skincare product also includes exotic verbena essential oil, which serves to cleanse and purify the skin, as well as lemongrass essential oil, which delicately perfumes the skin surface after its use. Several vegetable oils, notably olive, coconut and sunflower oil, as well as shea butter are contained in this moisturising product. These ingredients are selected for their calming, soothing, nourishing, softening and repairing properties.
Normal skin types are resistant to various internal or external aggressions that the skin surface may endure. They are devoid of any form of irregularity and imperfection. However, to avoid weakening them, it is appropriate to adopt a care routine for normal skin, such as using palmarosa moisturising soap.
