Navigating the world of skincare starts with a fundamental understanding of your unique skin type and its specific features. This knowledge not only aids in selecting the right products but ensures that your skin receives the optimal benefits.
What's the Difference Between Skin Type and Skin Features?
Skin Type refers to the general condition of your skin that is genetically determined and relates to how much sebum your skin produces. Common skin types include oily, dry, balanced, and combination. Each type has its own set of characteristics and requires different care strategies to maintain healthy skin.
Skin Features, on the other hand, refer to conditions your skin may develop based on various factors such as age, hydration, and environmental effects. These can include sensitivity, maturity, or dehydration. Features can change over time and with changes in your environment, diet, or lifestyle.
Skin Types
Oily Skin
Characterised by excess sebum production, oily skin can lead to a shiny complexion and acne. Products for oily skin should regulate oil production without stripping natural moisture.
Key Ingredients - Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid, Zinc PCA.
Try - Skinician Purifying range such as the Purifying Cleansing Gel and Skinician Purifying Day Moisturiser SPF 30.

Dry skin feels tight and may flake due to insufficient sebum. It needs products that provide deep hydration and enhance the skin’s protective barrier.
Key Ingredients - Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Ceramides.
Try - Skinician Advanced Time Delay Day Cream, Skinician Revitalising Repair Mask.
