You cannot change your skin type — it is determined by genetics. But it is within our power to do everything to look our best with what we were born with. The oily shine and enlarged pores of oily skin can be corrected with properly chosen care, while dryness, flaking, couperose and sensitivity are skin conditions that can be changed.
Skin type and skin condition are different things
| What it is | Can it be changed? | |
|---|---|---|
| Skin type | determined by genetics | no |
| Skin condition | dryness, flaking, couperose, sensitivity, oily shine, enlarged pores | yes, with care |
Oily skin
If you have oily skin with an oily shine and enlarged pores, this can be corrected with care. If it is chosen correctly, there will be less shine, and the pores will look clean and neat.
Dry and sensitive skin
If your skin is dry and starts to flake, signs of couperose appear, and it becomes more sensitive — these are skin conditions that can be changed.
What is important to know
- Skin of any type can become sensitive.
- With age, every skin type becomes drier.
At a consultation, we can choose cosmetic procedures for your skin's problems and professional cosmetics for home care that suit it specifically.
