Whether you tend to have dry, oily, or combination skin is partly genetic. Therefore, the cream that works wonders for your friend may not work for you. In addition to a balanced and healthy diet, your skin benefits from suitable skincare. However, to do this, you naturally need to know what skin type you have. In our post, you can recognize your skin type and learn how to care for it properly.

Normal Skin
Normal skin tolerates all washing substances and can compensate for any disturbances in surface condition in a short time. Nonetheless, even normal skin can leave its typically rosy state through intensive or minimal cleansing measures. Therefore, continue to appreciate and care for normal skin with high-quality care products that benefit your skin. After a facial cleansing with Natural Mild Cleansing Oil, the Skin Softener balances the pH level. The skin is thus optimally prepared for further care steps, such as facial cream or facial oil.A big issue for all skin types is air pollution, which simultaneously means oxidative stress for the skin. Therefore, it is particularly important to actively protect the skin from environmental pollutants. The red camellia - the main ingredient of all Sandawha products - supports the skin with valuable antioxidants against free radicals and oxidative stress. In addition, all products contain natural ingredients that do not additionally burden the skin with unnecessary chemicals.
Combination SkinMost of us tend to have combination skin, which is reflected in dry areas on the cheeks, around the mouth, and eyes. The forehead, nose, and chin ("T-zone") are usually a bit more oily with combination skin. The combination of dry and oily makes skincare not easy since rich care products can cause impurities within the T-zone. The Liposome line from Sandawha is excellent for combination skin because the textures are light and balancing. The revitalizing moisturizing cream is particularly popular for combination skin because it is not too rich. The dry cheek area benefits from the Sandawha Face Oil, which can replace the fats that the skin has lost. Further loss of moisture is thus prevented without sealing the skin.
Dry Skin
The dry skin type often tends to feel tight, as no to little fats are released to the skin surface. Fine lines and wrinkles show earlier on dry skin. An effective measure is products with a high lipid content, for example, camellia seed oil or mango butter. High-quality bioactive oils work best on dry skin and help ensure that the skin does not lose too much moisture throughout the day. The Oil Mist, the Oil Serum, the Ultra Rich Hydrating Cream, and the facial oil are suitable for a care routine for dry skin to bring the dry skin back into balance with natural lipids. For cleansing, the Sandawha Cleansing Oil based on oil is ideal because it preserves the skin's natural moisture.

Impure Skin
Impure skin often goes hand in hand with oily skin or combination skin. But dry and impure skin is also possible. Reasons for impure skin, i.e., subcutaneous deposits, pimples, and blackheads, can be internal as well as external influences. In principle, a healthy, balanced diet with fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as small breaks from stressful everyday life, helps. Because permanent stress, in particular, leads to increased inflammation and impurities. Also, pay attention to gentle cleansing with a cleansing oil, which removes dirt, oil, and make-up without clogging the pores. A second step with a foam cleaner (double cleansing) is also recommended. The skin regenerates at night and whoever does not remove makeup in the evening risks that the skin is busy fighting free radicals instead of renewing itself.
In our collection for impure skin, you will find suitable VIOLAINE products that do not further weigh down the skin.
Oily Skin
Overactive sebaceous glands are responsible for the oily sheen of oily skin. The appearance of impurities outside the T-zone is not uncommon due to the increased sebum production and the associated clogging of the pores. Washing with a mild cleanser that removes excess fat is recommended. After cleansing, use light lotions that do not additionally weigh down the skin. Moisturizing products like the Skin Softener, Hydrating Mist, or Essence provide extra moisture instead of rich care. Oily and at the same time dry combination skin benefits from different care depending on the zone (see above).

What exactly does "vegan skincare" mean?
By definition, vegan beauty products contain no animal or animal-derived ingredients. Instead of animal-derived raw materials, we prescribe plant-based, natural, and organic raw materials to uphold our respect for life.
Why should you choose vegan products?
Vegan skincare offers a whole host of hidden benefits and important active ingredients that will nourish the skin and make you feel fresh as a rose. The plant-based ingredients in many vegan formulas, in fact, contain more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and natural oils that help repair and moisturize the skin. This will keep your skin soft and protected for longer. These ingredients include vitamins A, C and E, oils such as coconut, argan and rosehip, seaweed, soy extracts, seeds and flower extracts, Goji berries and so on.
Vegan skincare products also tend to be more delicate on the skin. Those with sensitive, easily irritated or allergy-prone skin may find these products particularly useful as they tend to contain fewer ingredients that can aggravate skin conditions or can cause reactions.We promise.VIOLAINE Korean Cosmetics.

[Belif] Problem solution essence 50 ml

Violaine.shop was recommended by my colleague. I was sceptical at first because of the premium price tags. But oh, the belif problem solution essence changed the game for my acne-prone skin. Their skincare quiz made me understand why I was constantly breaking out and helped me choose this essence. A bit more guidance on usage frequency would have been a plus, though.

I'm quite busy and rarely have time for extensive skincare shopping. I appreciate how Violaine.shop educates us and the quiz does help to narrow down choices. I tried the isntree mugwort calming clay mask and it was calming as promised, but it did feel a tad heavy on my skin. I think I’ll explore a bit more on the site for a lighter alternative.

As a lawyer, I pull quite a few all-nighters and my skin was showing it. I took Violaine’s skincare quiz and got the belif rose gemma concentrate oil.
Nice product, it gave my skin a much-needed boost, but I wish the delivery was a bit quicker. It’s lush and you can feel the quality, which does justify the price to an extent.

The benton let's carrot multi oil is my go-to now. I have dry skin and needed something that really hydrates. I like how Violaine.shop educates about the products, but the carrot oil was actually a recommendation from a friend, not the quiz. Still, I learned a lot from their content and might try the belif peat miracle revital serum next.

My skincare routine is essential after sun-exposed yoga sessions. The laneige water bank blue hyaluronic essence toner has been kind to my skin.
Found it via Violaine.shop’s quiz, but I feel the website interface could be a bit more navigable for folks not too tech-savvy. But, the product descriptions? Top-notch and very informative.
