Your skin type
Understanding your skin type is the key to achieving healthy and radiant skin.
Our skin is unique and can vary from dry and sensitive to oily and acne-prone. Some of us have normal skin that is relatively balanced, while others struggle with dark circles under the eyes. In this exploration, we will dive into the different skin types and their characteristics, to help you discover what skin type you have and how to best care for it.
Whether you are looking for hydration for dry skin, the right treatments for acne, or just curious about understanding your skin, Cent Pur Cent helps you on your way to your unique skin type.
NORMAL SKIN
Your skin does not feel dry or oily and is soft and smooth. Pores are visible but not large. You only get acne occasionally. You do not have a shiny nose and/or chin, or dry cheeks.
COMBINATION SKIN
Your skin is often oily in the T-zone, but feels normal otherwise. After washing, some areas of the skin will feel dry, while others feel soft. You often get pimples and blackheads in your T-zone.
OILY SKIN
Your skin feels very oily. Your skin texture is thick and rough. Your pores are large and visible, and your skin constantly shines. You also regularly suffer from acne and blackheads.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Your skin is easily irritated. You often experience itching, flaky spots, redness, or a burning sensation. After washing, your skin feels dry and itchy. You occasionally get acne.
DRY SKIN
Your skin has a thin structure. When you touch your skin, it feels dry. Your skin often looks dull and has very small pores. After washing, your skin feels tight. You rarely or never get acne.
ACNE SKIN
Acne is a skin condition caused by clogged pores, inflammation, and bacteria. Sebaceous glands in our skin produce sebum, an oily substance that hydrates the skin. In acne-prone skin, the pores can become clogged more quickly, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and red inflammations.
DARK CIRCLES
Dark circles and bags are both common visible problems around the eyes, but they have different causes. Dark circles refer to the discoloration of the skin under the eyes, while bags are caused by fluid or fat accumulation and swelling in the area under the eyes.
