Skin types and good advice

16 Feb 2022

Normal hud

If you have normal skin type, your skin is neither too dry nor too oily. Even so, you should take care of your skin with moisture and nourishing creams to protect it from harmful influences.

Only very few people have normal skin. Most people have either a little too oily or a little too dry skin.

 

Dry skin

Dry skin secretes less sebum than normal skin. Because the sebaceous glands do not produce enough oil to prevent the skin from losing moisture, it becomes dry and tight.

Many people experience drier skin in the winter months, when the humidity is low, and the skin then easily feels dry and tight and may begin to to peel off.

Already at the age of 20, the skin's sebaceous gland production begins to decrease, and the skin will feel drier and tighter.

Dry skin is in itself irritating, but dry skin is also one of the first signs that the skin's barrier is damaged. Dry skin is less resistant to the penetration of e.g. bacteria and other harmful substances.

If the skin is often dry and not lubricated with a moisturizer, the dryness can develop into a more chronic condition. It is therefore important that you protect your skin. You can do this, among other things, by using a skin care product with a high fat content. This prevents the skin from drying out further.

If you tend to have dry skin, it is important that you prevent and treat it with moisturizer:

In addition, it may be a good idea to follow these tips:

  • Avoid excessive use of water and soap, detergents and the like.
  • Instead, clean the skin with water and a mild cleansing product.
  • Avoid too long and hot baths, as they dry out the skin.
  • Use a rich moisturizer immediately after showering or washing your hands.
  • Avoid working too much with solvents and other chemicals.
  • Avoid daily use of products that can irritate the skin - e.g. perfumed creams.
  • Avoid exposing the skin to strong sun and ensure effective sun protection.
  • Avoid too high a temperature in your home.
  • Avoid smoking.

Greasy skin

If you have oily skin, your sebaceous glands produce too much oil (sebum). In some people, it can cause impurities and pimples.

Oily skin is a common teenage problem, but can be found in people of all ages and is most often hereditary. Can also be caused by changes in hormone balance, "bad" fatty diet, stress, pollution, heat and friction.

If you have oily skin, it may be a good idea to follow these tips:

  • Avoid harsh cleaning agents. They cause the sebaceous glands to over-produce oil to compensate for the loss of natural fat.
  • Instead, use normal skin care with water and a mild cleansing product. Use skin tonic without alcohol.
  • Use a moisturizer that is not too greasy.

 

Combination skin

A combination skin type is typically oily in the T-zone. This means that the skin is oily around the nose, on the chin and across the forehead, while it is dry/normal on the cheeks. It can also be the other way around, with a dry T-zone and oily cheeks.

If you have a combination skin type, it may be a good idea to follow these tips:

  • Cleanse the skin morning and evening with water and a mild cleansing product.
  • Use a good moisturizer and apply mostly to the cheeks and least to the T-zone.

 

Delicate skin

If you have delicate skin, it is important that you take good care of the skin. Find a good cream that supplies your skin well with fat, so that you avoid it drying out.

If you have sensitive skin, you should refrain from using products that contain perfume and/or alcohol.

Also be careful with chemical sun protection (sun creams etc.), which can sometimes also have an irritating effect on the skin. As sun protection, you can instead use a physical protection that acts as a kind of barrier on the skin instead of penetrating. Remember to always use some form of sun protection.

If you have sensitive skin, it may be a good idea to follow these tips:

  • Clean the skin with water and a mild cleansing product, intended for delicate skin and avoid perfume.
  • Use an unscented moisturizer.
  • Avoid excessive use of water and soap, detergents and the like.
  • Avoid exposing the skin to strong sun and ensure effective sun protection.
  • Use possibly sunscreen with physical sun filter.
  • Avoid products with perfume, acid and alcohol.
  • Avoid working with solvents and other chemicals.
  • Do not expose your skin to large temperature fluctuations.
  • Avoid stress. Stress can affect your skin.
  • Avoid smoking.

The parties to the agreement

"Purchaser" is used for the natural person who mainly acts outside his profession and who, by placing an order to BIO-Vitae, makes an offer for the purchase and delivery of certain goods.

In the following, "BIO-Vitae" is used both for the natural or legal person who, upon order confirmation, accepts the Buyer's order and sells the ordered goods, and for the website from which goods are presented and ordered.

Product information:

At BIO-Vitae, the product's essential properties are disclosed, for further information or questions about existing information, you can send an email to BIO-Vitae via

Prices:

All prices are daily prices and only valid on the day of the order. Price changes may therefore occur.

All stated prices include 25% VAT.

 

 Payment:

The account information you enter when purchasing goods is sent directly to PBS in encrypted form (SSL) which only you and PBS can read. Thus, no one else sees or stores the information about you. When purchasing with a Dankort or credit card, the amount is deducted from your account as soon as it leaves BIO-Vitae. If you choose to receive the item with cash on delivery, the amount is paid upon receipt of the item.

We accept payment with Anyday.
The amount is only withdrawn from your card when the item is dispatched.
When you choose to pay with Anyday, the first payment is deducted when the item is shipped. You will then pay your monthly benefit on the last working day from the coming month, and three months ahead.
No fees or interest will be charged for your purchase if you pay on time. If you return your purchase, the agreement with Anyday will end automatically.

We do not charge card fees 

The risk of accidental demise or deterioration:

Only at the time when the ordered goods have come into the Buyer's possession does the risk of the ordered goods perishing or being damaged due to accidental circumstances pass to the Buyer.

Complaint:

According to the Sales Act, BIO-Vitae provides a 2-year right of complaint from receipt, for manufacturing and material defects (deficiencies). The right of complaint does not cover errors, damage or wear and tear, directly or indirectly caused by incorrect operation, poor maintenance, violence or unauthorized intervention.

The invoice must be presented to BIO-Vitae in connection with the application of the complaint.

 Any complaints about defects in delivered products must be made to BIO-Vitae within a reasonable time after the Buyer has or should have discovered the defect. Otherwise, the Buyer loses his right to claim the defect. If you complain within two months of discovering the fault, the complaint will always be timely.

Please state and show on request what the defect consists of.

If the complaint is justified, we will refund your (reasonable) shipping costs. The item must always be sent back in proper packaging. Also remember to get a receipt for shipping so we can reimburse you for shipping costs.  

 

Disclaimer and Warranty:

BIO-Vitae has made it easy for you to get relevant information on other websites through links. These websites are outside BIO-Vitae's control. We can therefore in no way be held responsible for the content on these pages.

Information about the ordered goods from such websites is not included in the description of the ordered goods in the agreement between the Buyer and BIO-Vitae.

The Seller is not liable for direct or indirect losses as a result of the ordered goods arriving late to the Buyer, or the ordered goods suffering from defects, when the delay or defects are due to the Buyer's act or omission or force majeure

BIO-Vitae does not provide an independent guarantee for the ordered goods, and the Buyer only obtains the guarantees that the manufacturer issues to the Buyer.
