Excessive tightness, premature wrinkles, a bright venous pattern, a feeling of tightness, a tendency to peel, unpleasant sensations in the street and under the sun speak of dry skin;
Dryness can be detected with water - when washing, insufficiently moisturized skin will experience discomfort;

The most common option is a combination of skin types in different areas: dry under the eyes, excessively oily in the “T” zone, normal on the cheekbones, or problematic in the cheek area and normal in other places.
