Tightness after cleansing, shine throughout the day, dry or oily areas... Knowing your skin type is essential for adopting a suitable routine. But between dry, oily, combination, normal, or sensitive skin, it's not always easy to figure out. Here are our tips to better understand your skin's needs and choose the right care products.

Dry skin: a daily need for comfort

Does your skin often feel tight, lack suppleness, and sometimes show flaky patches? It's probably dry. This skin type produces little sebum, which makes it thinner, more prone to discomfort, and less protected from external aggressions. It needs rich care products, such as raw shea butter, or sweet almond oil, which help nourish and soften the skin daily. Avoid overly aggressive cleansers and opt for gentle and enveloping textures.

Oily skin: shine and imperfections to tame

Does your skin quickly become shiny, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)? Do you have enlarged pores and recurring minor blemishes? You probably have oily skin. It is characterized by an overproduction of sebum. To care for it, opt for purifying products like Aleppo soap with goat's milk, lemon tonic water, or jojoba oil, known for its balancing properties. The goal: cleanse without stripping and gently regulate.

Combination skin: finding a balance

Do you notice oily skin in the T-zone, but your cheeks remain comfortable, even dry? You most likely have combination skin. This skin type combines several needs, which can make it more complex to treat. Opt for balancing care products, such as our mattifying face cream or organic charcoal face mask, which purifies without drying. For gentle cleansing, choose Aleppo liquid soap with 40% laurel oil, gentle but effective.

Normal or neutral skin: the perfect balance

Normal or neutral skin is supple, soft, without excessive shine or discomfort. It doesn't feel tight and has few imperfections. It is balanced skin, but it still needs to be cleansed and protected daily. To maintain this balance, simple and gentle care products like traditional Aleppo soap, olive tree face cream, or argan oil are ideal.

Sensitive skin: watch out for reactions

If your skin reacts easily, reddens, stings, or experiences frequent sensations of discomfort, it is probably sensitive. This skin type can be dry, combination, or even oily, but it reacts exaggeratedly to certain products or external factors. Choose fragrance-free care products, such as our raw shea butter, Aleppo soap with 40% laurel oil, or Damask rose floral water, known for its gentleness.

To correctly identify your skin type, observe it without makeup for a few hours after cleansing. Pay attention to your sensations. And most importantly, adjust your skincare products with the seasons: skin evolves, and its needs do too. At Najel, every product is designed to precisely meet these different profiles, with authentic, sensorially pleasant, and organic certified formulas.
