Skin types & skin conditions

All skin types have different needs and can also change over time depending on factors such as age, climate, lifestyle and hormonal fluctuations. Therefore, it is important to understand how your skin works in order to choose the right products and create a balanced skincare routine.

The difference between skin type and skin condition is important to know.
Your skin type is genetically determined and relatively constant over time – for example, dry, oily, normal or combination.


A skin condition, on the other hand, is something that can arise and change depending on internal and external factors, such as stress, weather, diet or hormonal fluctuations. Examples of skin conditions are sensitivity, surface dryness, acne, redness or pigmentation. This means that you can have an oily skin type but at the same time be surface dry, or a dry skin type with temporary sensitivity.

Here we guide you through the most common skin types, describe their typical characteristics and give concrete advice on how to best care for and strengthen your skin. Whether your skin is dry, sensitive, oily, combination or unbalanced, we will help you find the right one.
