Even though every skin is unique, general skin science distinguishes between four skin types that have different characteristics and structures and therefore require different types of care. In order to get to know and understand your skin better, it is always good to first recognize what your general skin type is in order to give it what your skin really needs in terms of care and protection.

Skin conditions

What skin condition do I have?

Our skin is alive, it changes and constantly renews itself from the inside out. Strictly speaking, it regenerates itself every 28 days and loses around 14 grams of dead skin cells per day, which are then reproduced by the skin. It is a very dynamic organ, so at Hello Sue we always prefer to talk about skin conditions that can change depending on various influencing factors. In order to give your skin the right care and attention, it is always good for you to know not only your skin type, but also your skin condition.
