Dry skin (skin type 1)

Dry skin is characterized by a lack of natural moisture . The causes are varied,

  • to environmental influences such as cold and wind.

For this skin type, Health Routine recommends particularly rich, moisturizing care products .

  • The Skin Care Pen helps to supply dry areas with nourishing oils so that the skin can regenerate optimally.
  • Derma Relief nourishes, regenerates, moisturizes and supports the skin's barrier function

Normal skin (skin type 2)

Normal skin has an optimal balance of moisture and sebum. This type of skin usually remains unobtrusive when treated with balanced care.

The Skin Care Pen can also be used preventively to correct small irregularities at an early stage.

Oily skin (skin type 3)

Oily skin tends to have a shiny appearance . Enlarged pores , pimples , and blackheads are common problems.

Thorough cleansing and oil-free, mattifying products are essential. The Skin Care Pen helps

  • to reduce excess sebum
  • and for targeted care of skin imperfections.

Combination skin (skin type 4)

Combination skin combines the characteristics of both dry and oily skin . The T-zone is often oily, while the cheek area remains dry.

With the Skin Care Pen, both mattifying and moisturizing effects can be controlled specifically.

Sensitive skin (skin type 5)

Sensitive skin quickly reacts to external stimuli with redness and itching . Therefore, Health Routine recommends particularly gentle and hypoallergenic products that are fragrance- and alcohol-free .

The Skin Care Pen contains soothing ingredients like aloe vera to calm skin irritations.

Mature skin (skin type 6)

For mature skin, anti-aging aspects are paramount. With increasing age , the skin loses elasticity and moisture, leading to wrinkles and dark spots.

Health Routine relies on highly effective ingredients and moisturizing products that support a well-groomed and even skin appearance.

The Skin Care Pen can be used specifically in wrinkles to nourish the skin and to care for mature skin and support a smooth complexion.

The perfect skincare routine for your skin type (1-6)

Effective skin care consists of several steps that should be optimally tailored to your skin. Health Routine offers a range of products that support you step by step.

1. Cleaning

Cleansing is the first and most important step to remove dirt, excess sebum, and makeup . Regular cleansing optimally prepares the skin for subsequent care products.

The Skin Care Pen is particularly recommended for thorough cleansing of impure facial skin .

2. Toner

Toners remove any remaining residue and balance the skin's pH level .

3. Serum

The highly concentrated serums deliver essential nutrients and ingredients directly to the skin. Whether for anti-aging, moisture boosting, or to combat impurities – here you'll find the right product for your individual needs.

4. Moisturizing care

A moisturizer completes any skin care routine and ensures that the skin is moisturized for a long time throughout the day.

5. Sun protection

Sun protection is an essential part of daily skincare . Although certain skin types—such as skin type 1—tan relatively quickly, protection from UV rays remains essential for all skin types to prevent premature aging and damage.
