Understanding Skin Types
Every skin has different needs. In this HIME Guide, you will find easy-to-understand overviews of dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, and sensitive skin – so you can choose active ingredients and routines more specifically.
Understand your skin better
The right skin type is the foundation for a routine that feels good and truly suits your skin.
Discover Skin Types
Skin types help to better understand the basic needs of your skin. They do not replace an individual skin analysis but provide clear guidance for active ingredients, textures, and care routines.
Sensitive Skin
For skin that reacts quickly, feels tight, appears red, or does not tolerate care well.

Depending on the skin type, certain active ingredients can be particularly useful. Decisive is not only the ingredient itself, but also the dosage, combination, and how well the routine suits your skin barrier.
