As skincare experts at VELD, we've helped countless clients achieve radiant, healthy skin. Daily aggressors like pollution and stress take a toll, so identifying your skin type is key to effective care. Here's how to determine yours and build a tailored routine.
Beautiful, glowing skin starts with understanding your skin type. Using mismatched products can disrupt your skin's balance, leading to redness, breakouts, dullness, or accentuated wrinkles. At VELD, we always emphasize distinguishing skin type—your lifelong, inherent nature (oily, normal, dry, or sensitive)—from skin condition, a temporary state influenced by diet, medications, harsh products, or weather (e.g., dehydrated, acne-prone, or irritated).
Assess in natural light with a clean face:
Morning: Oily skin can be sensitive too—avoid harsh astringents that trigger overproduction. Start with lavender floral water on a cotton pad for gentle, purifying cleansing, focusing on the T-zone.
Follow with a lightweight, water-rich moisturizer low in oils. Spot-treat blemishes before non-comedogenic fluid foundation. Use mattifying papers or powder sparingly.
Evening: Double-cleanse to remove makeup, sebum, and impurities. Finish with a mattifying or anti-blemish serum and light cream.
Weekly: Gentle exfoliation unclogs pores, then a purifying mask. Always remoisturize.
Morning: Refresh with soothing cornflower floral water (or thermal spray)—no harsh rubbing. Apply a rich, protective moisturizer. Opt for fluid foundation with a brush; use green-tinted base or concealer for redness.
Evening: Makeup-remove with a milky or oil-based cleanser, followed by gentle emulsion or floral water. Repair overnight with a soothing treatment like our Pure Pulp Neo gel for hydration, nutrition, and plumping.
Weekly: Nourishing mask to bolster your skin's protective barrier.
Morning: Mist with thermal water or orange blossom/rose floral water. Layer a lipid- and water-rich cream for comfort and suppleness. Choose mousse foundations for hydration; skip powders.
Evening: Cleansing oil for makeup and impurities, then surgras soap, balm, or milk. Seal with a creamy balm like our Age Commando for repair.
Weekly: Deep hydration or nourishing mask for barrier recovery and softness.
