Which skincare routine suits your skin type?
Every skin is unique, and the same goes for what your skin needs to stay healthy, radiant, and balanced. A product that works wonders for your friend can actually backfire on your skin. That's why it's essential to tailor your routine to your skin type. In this blog you'll discover how to recognise your skin type and which care suits it, including smart tools that give your skin that little extra.
1. Normal skin: balance and ease
Recognisable by: smooth, soft skin without visible pores, few blemishes, and a natural glow.
Your routine: Keep it simple. Cleanse your skin with a mild cleanser, hydrate daily with a light day cream, and use an exfoliant now and then to remove dead skin cells. LED light therapy with red or yellow light is ideal to strengthen your skin and maintain your glow.
Tip: Use the Parvale® LED Face Mask 2-3 times a week for a healthy, radiant boost.
2. Dry skin: nourishment and protection
Recognisable by: a tight feeling, flakiness, a dull appearance, and sometimes sensitivity.
Your routine: Choose rich, hydrating creams with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or shea butter. Cleanse with a gentle milk or balm and avoid harsh scrubs. At night, use a nourishing serum or oil.
Tool tip: Red LED light stimulates blood circulation and collagen production, which makes the skin plumper and smoother. Combine with a gentle facial massage for extra absorption of active ingredients.
3. Oily skin: balance without drying out
Recognisable by: shiny skin, enlarged pores, and being quick to develop spots or blackheads.
Your routine: Cleanse twice daily with a mild gel cleanser. Use a light, oil-free moisturiser and exfoliate 1-2 times a week with salicylic acid. Avoid heavy oils or thick creams that can clog the pores.
Tool tip: Blue LED light works as an antibacterial and helps calm acne and blemishes. The Parvale® LED Face Mask offers a safe way to apply this daily.
4. Sensitive skin: calm and comfort
Recognisable by: redness, irritation, and reacting quickly to products or temperature changes.
Your routine: Use as few active ingredients as possible. Choose fragrance-free, soothing products with aloe vera or panthenol. Cleanse mildly and avoid water that's too hot.
Tool tip: Yellow LED light calms redness and supports the recovery of vulnerable skin. A gentle approach with the right tools really makes a difference.
5. Combination skin: the best of both worlds (or challenges)
Recognisable by: an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), but dry or normal cheeks.
Your routine: Focus on balancing. Use a light cleanser, a hydrating toner, and alternate targeted products per zone. A gel cream works well to both hydrate and not weigh things down.
Tool tip: Combine blue LED light for your T-zone with red or yellow light on drier areas. That way you tailor your routine to each need, without needing extra products.
