Seborrhea oleosa

Features

Seborrhea oleosa refers to increased sebum production of the skin, i.e. an oily skin condition. It usually occurs with a cornification disorder in the area of the sebaceous gland follicles and thus leads to acne.

Recommendation

Seborrhea sicca

Features

Seborrhoea sicca is characterized by a dry skin condition. Skin cells dry out prematurely, resulting in forced keratinization (scaling). The skin is drier than usual.

The development of seborrhea sicca can be caused by a dry environment, which causes the water content of the skin to evaporate prematurely, or the excessive production of the skin's own hydrolipid film.

Recommendation

Sensitive skin

Features

Sensitive / sensitive skin is difficult to define by concrete symptoms. In the first place, the skin is clearly more sensitive than other skin types.

While normal skin has ideal sebum production and an intact cell membrane complex, and sebum production is increased in oily skin, several circumstances come together in sensitive skin: It usually does not have sufficient natural protection from the skin's own cell membrane complex. Furthermore, its moisture balance is irritated. It therefore reacts more irritably to external factors.
