How do you recognize your skin type, and which cream should you use?

Do you know your skin type? Great. Do you have no idea what this is all about? Then read here how to find out your skin type. Then come back here, and we’ll choose the ideal cream together.

Creams for normal skin

If you have normal skin, you’ve hit the imaginary jackpot. Your skin is in a natural balance; the texture is unified, and you are not troubled by any significant problems. Still, you have to take care of her. Clean it regularly with Face Wash, pamper it here and there with a face mask and hydrate it daily.

You can get by with a light cream at a younger age, but later, even normal skin quickly loses hydration, and you need to reach for more robust products. From around 50, choose creamier textures with a rejuvenating effect. Look for day creams with protective antioxidants; the night cream may contain regenerative active substances.

Creams for dry skin

Is your skin uncomfortably tight after cleansing, and is it troubled by dry patches and flakes in the winter? These symptoms are typical signs of dry skin. The goal of your cream will be to restore the natural lipid layer, richly hydrate and lock the hydration inside.

Choose a Beauty cream with a high proportion of natural oils and softening ingredients together with moisturizing substances such as aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin C. Dry skin also shows signs of ageing faster, so you will also be interested in skin creams with a rejuvenating effect.

Creams for oily skin

Blackheads, enlarged pores, ugly shine and ubiquitous pimples. It is not too difficult to detect oily skin. Despite these problems, you can enjoy one piece of good news. Oily skin ages more slowly than all other skin types. 

You will be especially interested in creams that regulate the production of sebum, have matting effects and at the same time can tighten pores. Forget about thick cream preparations and opt for light creams and gels containing moisturizing ingredients such as green tea and calendula.

Creams for mixed skin

As you probably already guessed, mixed or combination skin combines dry and oily skin. It is characterized by an oily T-zone (chin, nose and forehead); other parts of the face are relatively dry. Combination skin requires combination care, such as Golden Pearl Skin Serum, which can be used for both skin types.

Either choose from the range of creams for combination skin or get a cream for both oily and dry skin and apply them to the respective parts of the face. Try to mattify the T-zone while nourishing dry cheeks.

A brief glossary of terms in skin cosmetics

Especially if you have problematic skin, you should also pay attention to the information on the cream packaging. Or if you – even better – order online, read the product description carefully. You will understand most of the terms, but there may also be more complex terms that we would like to explain a little more to you.

Oil-free, paraben-free, perfume-free, silicone-free… – they do not contain specific ingredients that can irritate the skin in some cases. For example, oils should be avoided by oily and acne-prone skin, while perfumes can “upset” sensitive skin.

Dermatologically tested – the final product was tested on human skin; the product is safe for application to the skin, is well tolerated, and, in most cases, does not cause allergic reactions. Don’t worry; all cosmetic products in Dubai must pass this strict test.

Hypoallergenic – minimizes the risk of allergic reactions, contains non-irritating ingredients, and avoids commonly known allergens. 

Non-comedogenic—the product does not clog pores. You can usually find this label on cosmetics for oily skin, acne-prone skin, or blackheads, but lately, non-comedogenic preparations have been created for all skin types.

Ophthalmologically tested – the product has been tested for use in the sensitive eye area and has been proven well tolerated.
