SKIN TYPES AND HOW TO TREAT THEM: TO EACH HIS OWN SKINCARE
IMPURE SKINS: THEY’RE NOT ALL THE SAME
HOW TO RECOGNISE AND TREAT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMBINATION SKIN.
Today, we are talking about skin impurities, and the use of the plural here is anything but coincidental. They are not all the same and choosing the right product can really make a difference when it comes to results.
First of all, skin with blemishes is, by definition, a combination skin, with particular characteristics:
- • prone to shininess in the t-zone (nose, forehead and chin)
- • impurities of various kinds (from simple blackheads to being acne-prone)
- • visible pores
- • localised excess sebum
Can it all be treated the same way? Certainly not.
- • there is sensitive combination skin.
- • combination skin with very dry and delicate areas.
- • combination skin with over-production of sebum, and therefore oily.
- • acne-prone combination skin, with papules and pustules.
How should the different types be treated?
ROUTINE FOR SENSITIVE IMPURE SKINS
If you have a combination skin that tends to become red or be reactive, it’s best to treat it with specific anti-blemish products that are mild and non-aggressive.
Cleansing
Our More Soft cleansing foam, for example is extremely mild and leaves the skin soft without drying it. The formula respects the skin's pH and is suitable for even the most sensitive skin, the active ingredients brighten the complexion, as well as exerting a soothing and protective action.

Specific treatment
After cleansing, it is always advisable to apply a specific treatment before the cream and our The Technologist line Acido Shimiko serum is ideal.
How does it work?
- · it purifies
- · it regulates sebum
- · it exfoliates gently
This serum is formulated and tested for sensitive skins with blemishes caused by acne and impurities.
Hydration
A mild and light moisturising cream, like our Zero Stress or Zero Smog, must have a soothing action without weighing down the skin.
ROUTINE FOR IMPURE, DRY AND DELICATE SKINS
If you have combination skin with delicate and dry areas, it is best to treat it with specific products but that have an adequate hydrating action so that the skin is not weighed down.
Cleansing
As for sensitive skins, a mild formula is the best solution for cleansing the skin.
Our More Soft leaves the skin soft, hydrated and protected.
Specific treatment
Exfoliating gently helps to improve skin texture and reduces impurities without being harsh.
Our Siero Perfect, with a small percentage of salicylic acid is a veritable skin perfecter. Its formula acts on impurities, shrinks open pores and minimises skin discolouration, while gently smoothing the skin, as well as providing the right hydration thanks to the active ingredients the formula contains.
Hydration
It is important to choose a cream with the right degree of hydration. Our Zero Smog and our cream with Vitamin C Wonder C Cream, are ideal, thanks to their potent protective and antioxidant effect, and that hydrate the skin without weighing it down.
Vitamin C also has a very effective brightening action and reduces post-pimple redness.
ROUTINE FOR IMPURE AND OILY SKINS
Impure skins with excessive sebum production, can have blemishes of various kinds associated with uneven skin texture and a dull complexion.
Cleansing
It is important not to be too aggressive and use harsh acids or surfactants.
More Pure and Spumone can be perfect for this purpose. The former contains a small percentage of Salicylic Acid with a mild purifying action that leaves the skin soft and smooth. Foam Cloud contains mild surfactants that cleanse the skin deep down without drying it.

An additional specific treatment
For Combination-Oily and acne-prone skin, RETINOL can be used as a cyclical treatment during the winter (it is essential to use very high sunscreen in the summer).
Retinol is VITAMIN A, and it helps to preserve the skin’s barrier function, cell turnover and collagen production.
ULTRA RETINOL contains micro-encapsulated pure retinol, low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and a blend of alpha hydroxy acids.
Micro-encapsulated retinol:
- · stimulates cell turnover,
- · improves skin texture,
- · exfoliates dead cells.
It also regulates sebum production, reduces open pores, blemishes and impurities, and improves the problems typical of skin prone to acne outbreaks.
Hyaluronic acid promotes the right skin hydration and smooths expression lines to favour a fresh and relaxed appearance.
The blend of alpha hydroxy acids (obtained using delicate lemon, blueberry, sugar cane, orange and maple extraction processes) stimulates the skin to produce more collagen, thereby improving elasticity and hydration.
