How do I recognize my skin tone?
The skin (cutis) is our largest organ approx. 2 sqm and fulfills an important barrier function. Its thickness is only approx. 0.03 - 0.05mm. It fulfills a variety of tasks, from the perception of external stimuli such as cold and heat to communication, for example.b to increase our well-being. Your protective layer is the stratum corneum. If this is disturbed, the skin can e.g.b If you lose a lot of moisture, then the Natural Moisturizing Factor / NMF is no longer in tact. The skin can then callus more quickly, become flaky and develop impurities. This can also be a result of improper care.
Why doesn't Veralice have combination skin?
Every skin has different characteristics and areas, depending on the arrangement of the sebaceous glands and the respective system that we were genetically inherited from. So all skin is actually combination skin and that's not enough analysis for us! But if you want to care for your skin according to type, you should focus on the predominant skin characteristics and the current situation. Special features such as those you find at Veralice under “problem areas” should also be specifically taken into account.
How to determine your skin complexion
Clean your skin as usual, dry the skin with a Kleenex and then wait approx. 15 minutes. Now look at your skin and pay attention to the feeling your skin gives you:
- Do you have a feeling of tension, especially in the cheek area and around the eyes?
- Is the skin without shine?
- Do small wrinkles appear when you speak?
- Do you even feel itching?
- Do you wake up in the morning and your skin looks rough?

- Take a plastic spatula (an egg spoon also works) and make a small stroke on the décolleté, cheek and forehead. If the line stays red for a long time or even shows a small swelling, then the skin is sensitive to pressure.
- Does your skin show diffuse red spots?
- Are your cheeks red?
- Do you react to cold and heat with redness?
- Do you get sunburned easily?
- Do you often feel a burning sensation when applying cosmetics?

- Is your skin dull and pale?
- Press the cheek area with a fingertip - if a dent remains for a long time, the turgor of your skin is no longer correct.
- The skin does not retain enough moisture.
- Use your hand to gently push the cheek part upwards. If small wrinkles appear, then the tone of the skin and the elasticity are no longer optimal.
- Look in the mirror – can you see wrinkles when you are relaxed?
