Sebum

Excess sebum will cause oily and shiny skin. Conversely, a lack of sebum will result in dry skin.

Oily skin and dry skin are both skin types. Therefore, it will be impossible to change your skin type. Your esthetician's role will be to rebalance your skin to reduce its problems.

It is necessary to control excess sebum which will cause: shine, appearance of imperfections (like comedones), acne... excess sebum will clog pores, prevent flaking, suffocate the skin which will cause a dull, tired complexion.

The effect felt is an unpleasant sensation of discomfort. To the touch, it is rough, with a “lizard skin” effect; in some cases, peeling, particular sensitivity, itching, and a dull appearance may be observed.

How to control dry skin?

The goal is to repair the skin barrier to prevent water from evaporating from the skin through sweating (sweating dries out the skin's surface).

It is necessary to use cosmetic products that can fill the lack of fat in the skin barrier.

Cleanse the skin with gentle cosmetics, preferably in creamy or oily form,
Exfoliate: enzymatic and/or chemical exfoliation. Exfoliation removes dead cells and therefore allows the active ingredients in your creams to penetrate deeply,
Nourish/Replenish lipids: nourishing mask and lipid-replenishing creams/serums rich in fat

Advice :

Avoid overheated and confined environments,
Pat the skin dry (without rubbing),
Apply cream morning and evening.
