Normal skin is characterised by a healthy oil/water balance, normal sized follicles and is usually free from blemishes. It can change slightly due to conditions, and become slightly dryer or slightly more oily, but is generally balanced. The goal with normal skin is to maintain the balance, and keep it healthy. Establishing a daily and regular routine of cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising and treating will help ensure that you have beautiful, balanced skin well into the future.

Combination skin is characterised by being both oily and dry at the same time. People with combination skin will have an excess of oil through their T zone, whilst having dry, and even flaking skin in the outer areas of their face. Requiring more care than normal skin, combination skin must be balanced by treating each area separately. Keeping the skin clean and clear by deep cleansing and regular exfoliation is essential, and will help keep blemishes at bay.

More recently recognised as a skin type, Sensitive skin has become increasingly common, and is characterised by redness and is easily irritated by products, as well as heat and sun exposure. Sensitive skin must be treated gently and with products specifically designed for use by this skin type. The goal of treatment is usually to calm and sooth the skin, and to prevent further irritation. Mismo’s entire product range has been developed for use with sensitive skin, with many products designed to help the challenges of having sensitive skin.
