Don’t spend a cent on skincare until you know this one thing…

So many people spend money on expensive skincare without even thinking about the key to finding what’s perfect for them, and that is, what skin type they have.
Like it or not, everyone’s skin is different, and just because you have a friend who told you about this amazing cream, doesn’t mean it will work on your skin.
Let’s cover off on the different skin types, so that you can narrow down what might work for you.
Normal Skin
If you fall in this category, it means your skin doesn't have any real concerns and doesn’t bother you. If this sounds like you, you’re one of the lucky ones, because most creams or serums will work well.
Our pick for normal skin types: Janssen Cosmetics Hydro Active Gel. This product can be used both as a day and night cream, is light in texture, and is perfect under make-up. It contains hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture, and shea butter that will leave your skin feeling smooth and soft.

Dry Skin
People with this skin type often tell us their skin feels tight, can be flaky, looks dull, and can even feel rough to touch.
Dry skin beauties need products that intensively boost moisture, and our pick is Janssen Cosmetics Deep Xpress Hydro Mask. It provides intensive and long-lasting hydration to help skin look smooth and soft all day long. You can use it during the day to refresh and hydrate or leave it on overnight to give your skin an extra boost.
Oily Skin
Oily skinned lovelies can experience a visible layer of greasy build-up throughout the day. Makeup often doesn’t stay put, and it’s embarrassing to constantly be dabbing away oily shine.
Whilst having lots of oil in your skin can prevent wrinkles and other signs of ageing, having too much of it can lead to soul destroying pimples, blackheads, and other icky congestion. It's best to try something simple to keep the shine away like Janssen Cosmetics Light Mattifying Cream.
Another one of our favourites, Janssen Cosmetics Intense Clearing Mask.
These products are designed to mop up excess oil, reduce pore size, and soothe and calm those angry outbreaks.
Combination Skin
Typically, if you have combination skin, some parts of your face like forehead and nose, will be oily, and other parts like cheeks, will be dry.
Lovelies with this kind of skin, often try both oily and dry skin products, only to find they have made the problem worse.
Our pick for the perfect combination skin product is Janssen Cosmetics Balancing Cream. It provides moisture for dry patches, and mattifies oily areas leaving skin looking and feeling even and smooth.
Sensitive Skin
If you have this kind of skin, you know that symptoms like redness, soreness and inflammation can be caused by things like a change in climate, certain foods, or even just using the wrong products.
Our pick to help calm and soothe our rosy cheeked lovelies is Janssen Cosmetics Intense Calming Cream, and Janssen Cosmetics Instant Soothing Mask.
These products are packed with ingredients that provide long-lasting relief from symptoms of sensitive or irritated skin, as well as helping to make the skin more resistant to external irritants.
Mature Skin
Individuals with mature skin are generally concerned with wrinkles, fine lines, a dull complexion, pigmentation and sagging facial contours.
Our pick to help breathe new life into ageing skin is Janssen Cosmetics Skin Contour Cream. Its premium ingredients combat pigmentation and helps even the skin tone to ensure a flawless complexion.
For extra oomph, pair Skin Contour Cream with Janssen Cosmetics Age Perfecting Serum. Packed with ingredients like vitamins C, E, and plant stem cells, it helps to protect skin from cell-damage, and prevents premature skin ageing caused by light, and other environmental stressors.
If you’re still confused about what skin type you have, the best thing to do is see a dermatologist or a dermal clinician for advice and guidance.
As with any skincare, individual experiences may vary, and it's important to consider potential sensitivities or allergies. If you have specific skin concerns or conditions, consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional is recommended to determine the best approach for your skincare routine.
