CHECK IT OUT

Avocados are

real energizers and can oﬀer your skin

a lot when applied topically: essential

fay acids that protect your skin from

drying out, and vitamins A and B,

and pantothenic acid that promotes

regeneration of the skin. Avocado oil

is a balm for dry sensitive skin.

Artiﬁcially-made soaps are

called detergents. These are

not like normal soaps made

from natural fats. They are

made from synthetic

deterging agents. Detergents

change the pH value of the

skin only a lile, but they

degrease it more than

normal soaps.

THE COMBINATION SKIN TYPE …

… is the most prevalent skin type. Just because

there is a light shine on the forehead, nose, and

chin — which is called the T-zone due to its shape

— there is no reason to combat it with anti-grease

treatments.

If your T-zone has a tendency to become very

greasy and also exhibits impurities, especially

during puberty, you should use cosmetics prepared

especially for greasy skin.

A non-oily moisturizing face wash, special creams

or pH-neutral detergents are suitable for cleansing.

It is important to rinse with plenty of lukewarm

water after washing.

If the T-zone is very greasy, it can be helpful to wipe

the affected areas in the morning and evening with

cleaning lotions containing some alcohol or special

herb extracts.

Creams or lotions should contain a great deal of

moisture but not too much oil or grease.

DRY SKIN …

… is generally also delicate and sensitive. Pimples

or bumps are very uncommon in dry skin, but it

does have a tendency toward red spots, is quickly

irritated, is flaky, and can feel very tight especially

after washing. Dry skin has a greater tendency to

develop irritable spots than any other skin type. The

reason is that the fat and sweat glands are slow to

produce fat and sweat, so that the skin lacks grease

and moisture.

For cleansing, an oily cleaning lotion (cleansing

milk) that is wiped off with cosmetic tissues or

water is very useful. You should avoid soaps,

because they will dry out your skin even more.

Important: Face lotions should always be free of

alcohol.

Creams and lotions for dry, sensitive skin must

contain oil and moisturizer. The emphasis should be

on oil content, because a too-high content of water

— which unfortunately is often recommended by

the cosmetics industry for dry skin — makes the

skin porous, causing it to lose even more water

through evaporation.

Dry skin is “thirsty.” Help it by geing

lots of liquid. Water and herb teas are

best suited for providing your skin

with enough moisture from inside.
