How to use cosmetics correctly

The beauty of your skin is a reflection of how you take care of yourself. Genetics and skin care play a big role. Other aspects that directly or indirectly affect your skin include, for example, daily stress, inner psychological well-being, eating habits, drinking regimen, sleep, weather conditions.

The foundation of beautiful skin is proper skincare, which starts with knowing your skin type. Each skin type has specific needs and responds differently to care. That's why it's key to learn what your skin really needs.

How to recognize skin type?

There are 6 main skin types:

• Normal – balanced and healthy, common in children.
• Dry – may appear tense, prone to dehydration.
• Oily – shiny and acne-prone.
• Combination – dry areas on the cheeks and oily T-zone (nose, forehead, chin).
• Mature – with wrinkles, requires specific care.
• Sensitive – reacts quickly to external stimuli, prone to irritation.

What are the most common skin care mistakes?

Mistakes mainly occur when skin type is incorrectly determined or inappropriate products are used. Regularity in care is also often forgotten - skin deserves to be treated both morning and evening.

How to take care of your skin properly?

The key is to know your skin type and use the products that best suit it. Quality products tailored to your skin type are essential for achieving a healthy, radiant appearance.

What problems can we observe with improper care?

Using the wrong products can lead to the opposite effect to what we want to achieve. In mature skin, we often observe signs of insufficient care, which accelerates aging. In problematic skin, especially if we do not pay enough attention to cleansing, inflammation and acne can occur. We also encounter frequent mistakes in skin care in different seasons - the skin is more sensitive to the sun in summer and to frost in winter. Let's not forget about gentle care for the eye area, which we should treat after the age of 30.

What is the difference between women's and men's skin?

Men's skin is naturally thicker and firmer, with a higher content of sebaceous glands, which can make it oilier than women's skin. Shaving can cause mechanical damage to the skin, so it is very important to treat the skin with appropriate products before and after shaving.

The nature of children's skin?

Baby skin is delicate and requires special care from birth. It is important to moisturize it after every bath and protect it from adverse weather conditions. Products that are hypoallergenic, perfume-free and paraben-free are ideal so as not to irritate sensitive skin.
