Know Your Skin, Love Your Routine: Choosing The Ordinary Products for Your Skin Type in Morocco

Understanding your skin type is the first and most crucial step in building an effective skincare routine. Using products that are not suited for your skin can lead to various issues, from dryness and irritation to breakouts and excess oil. At The Ordinary Maroc, we want to empower you to make informed choices about your skincare. Let's dive into the basics of skin types and some product recommendations to get you started on your journey to healthier skin.

Identifying Your Skin Type:

Before you can choose the right products, you need to determine your skin type. Here are the main categories:

• Oily Skin: Characterized by excess sebum production, often leading to a shiny appearance, enlarged pores, and potential breakouts.

• Dry Skin: Lacks sufficient moisture, often feeling tight, rough, and sometimes flaky. It may also be more prone to fine lines.

• Combination Skin: Features characteristics of both oily and dry skin. Typically, the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is oily, while the cheeks are dry or normal.

• Normal Skin: Well-balanced, neither excessively oily nor dry. It feels comfortable, with small pores and a smooth texture.

• Sensitive Skin: Can react easily to certain products or environmental factors, often experiencing redness, itching, or burning.

You can get a better idea of your skin type by observing how your skin feels and looks throughout the day. Pay attention after cleansing – does it feel tight? Does it become shiny quickly? Are there areas that are consistently different?

The Ordinary Products for Different Skin Types:

Once you have a better understanding of your skin type, you can start choosing products that are tailored to your needs. Here are some recommendations from The Ordinary, available right here at www.ordinary-maroc.com:

For Oily Skin:

• Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%: Helps to regulate sebum production and minimize the appearance of pores.

• Salicylic Acid 2% Solution: A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that exfoliates inside pores to clear congestion.

• Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA (Oil-Free Formula): Provides hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.

For Dry Skin:

• Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5: Provides intense hydration to the skin's surface and deeper layers.

• Squalane: A natural emollient that helps to lock in moisture and soften the skin.

• Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA: A rich moisturizer that replenishes the skin's natural protective barrier.

For Combination Skin:

• Use targeted treatments: Apply Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% on the T-zone and a hydrating serum like Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 on drier areas.

• Opt for balanced moisturizers: Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA can work well for overall hydration.

For Normal Skin:

• You have more flexibility! Focus on maintaining balance with products like the Squalane Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA.

For Sensitive Skin:

• Start with simple, minimal formulations.

• Squalane Cleanser: A gentle and hydrating cleanser.

• 100% Plant-Derived Squalane: A pure and non-irritating moisturizer.
