Each skin type has its advantages and disadvantages. No treatment can change the skin type. However, it may change slightly in adulthood following hormone treatment. It is therefore important to know your skin type in order to carry out natural treatments adapted to enhance your skin.
What is dermocosmetics?
Dermo-what?! In summary, dermocosmetics is the combined action of cosmetics and dermatology to preserve the health and beauty of the skin. Don't we say that the skin, this key organ, is in fact the mirror of our holistic balance?
Why choose a natural skincare ritual?
The answer is simple, to maintain healthy skin. The epidermis is a living organ, it forms a protective shield against external aggressions of nature: UV, allergens, infectious agents, water loss, etc. Much of what we apply to our skin is absorbed by our body. It is therefore important to favor natural products.
All skin types can find what they're looking for with essential oils, vegetal oils (capsules) and hydrosols, regardless of whether they're dry, oily or sensitive! And if this transition to a more natural routine seems a little confusing to you, consider taking it slowly step by step!
Last little thing and not least, although essential oils are real allies for the beauty and health of the skin. There are usual precautions to be aware of, especially when it comes to facial care. For a dermocosmetic action, the essential oil is generally diluted in one or more vegetal oils and to 1%.
The different skin types
NORMAL SKINS
Normal skin is a bit like “ZERO headache” skin but rest assured, this concerns few people! Smooth, soft, elastic, rosy complexion, radiant, no imperfections, does not tighten and pores are tightened, in short, everyone's dream.
To take care of it and to have a “healthy glow” effect, here is a natural skincare ritual in 3 steps:
I cleanse and purify:
Properly cleansing your skin is the secret to keeping a fresh complexion, eliminating impurities and also removing makeup in the evening. To clean your skin, we advise you to use a vegetal oil such as Coconut Oil . Pour a little vegetal oil onto a damp, wrung-out washable wipe and remove makeup. Coconut oil even removes Waterproof mascara. You can finish washing yourself with a Neroli hydrosol !
I tone and hydrate:
Then, if I have not yet used my hydrosol, I tone my face or I perfect my makeup removal with a Neroli hydrosol at that time. I spray the hydrosol on my face for a few seconds and dab with a soft wipe or cotton pad.
Tip: The hydrosol will also be very useful in the morning to set makeup!
I carry out my personalized treatment:
For this step, I use a 30 ml Aromaself pipette bottle for example and if I want to give radiance to my normal skin and have an anti-aging and toning action, here is a synergy that should please you!
- Rosewood essential oil (anti-aging): 10 drops;
- Sea buckthorn vegetal oil (brightens the complexion): 15 ml;
- Camellia vegetal oil (ultra-silky touch): 15 ml.
All you have to do is massage 4-6 drops of the mixture onto the face and neck at the end of your routine in the morning or evening.
DRY SKINS
Dry skin lacking sebum does not produce enough fatty substances . We all have a protective barrier (= hydrolipidic film) and when it is altered or non-existent, as with dry skin, this leads to water loss. Dull, tight, rough, tight and almost invisible pores. Dry skin reacts quickly to external influences such as cold or extreme heat. However, dry skin has a fine and tight skin texture.
Don't panic, here is our skincare routine to pamper your skin:

OILY/COMBINATION SKIN
Oily skin is characterized by excess sebum , it tends to shine all over the face. Some signs that show that you have “oily” skin: enlarged pores, irregular skin texture, prone to blackheads and blemishes. Even though this skin type is oily, it still needs to be hydrated. Small advantage of this type of skin: it resists time better by delaying the first signs of aging.
In any case, don't panic, to pamper your skin we have a suitable routine!

How to recognize it? If you experience the constant feeling of discomfort, of skin that is hot, burning, tingling, red or tight, then you are probably concerned.

Dehydration is a temporary condition that can affect all skin types and is linked to external factors such as: cold, sun, stress, etc. We can therefore improve it in particular by giving it WATER.
How to recognize it? If you experience occasional tightness, tingling and lack of flexibility but no visible dryness or flaking, it is more likely a feeling of discomfort. Then it is very likely that your skin is dehydrated.
