Skin condition chart
You and your skin cannot be rigidly pigeon-holed. You need the right care concepts for different days and places, different seasons and different stages of life. At Dr.Hauschka, we therefore refer to skin conditions, which appear and disappear, rather than fixed skin types.

| Sensitive combination skin | Slightly red, oily T-zone, large-pored, possibly blemished, dry cheeks |
| Combination skin | Blemished T-zone, large-pored, quickly becomes oily, dry cheeks |
| Blemished, oily skin | Large-pored, quickly becomes oily, blemished |
| Mature skin | Declining elasticity of the skin, wrinkling, increased dryness, thin skin, may have persistent redness in the cheeks / nose area (visible blood vessels), menopause-induced, age spots |
