Your skin type is the basis: skin can be dry, oily or combination. Its current condition, however, changes with age, the weather, the season and even from day to day. That is why you will find Dr. Sandra cosmetics here sorted by what your skin needs right now, with a tip from the doctor for each group. If you do not know your skin type, take our short skin test (in Slovak).

Dry and sensitive skin

The skin feels tight, flaky, or reacts with redness to weather, cosmetics or stress. In this case, the priority is restoring the skin barrier and providing long-term hydration.

Dr. Sandra’s tip

With sensitive skin, adding more products often does not help. It is much more important to restore the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.

Oily and problematic skin

The skin looks shiny, has enlarged pores, or is prone to breakouts. Proper care should regulate sebum without excessive drying.

Dr. Sandra’s tip

Oily skin also needs hydration. Overly aggressive cleansing often leads to even higher sebum production.

Combination skin

The most common skin type. An oilier T-zone together with drier or more sensitive cheeks requires a balanced approach.

Dr. Sandra’s tip

For combination skin, less is often more. The foundation is gentle cleansing and support for the skin’s natural balance.

First signs of ageing

The first signs of ageing appear, along with loss of radiance or fine lines around the eyes and mouth.

Dr. Sandra’s tip

A mask according to your skin type. The biggest anti-ageing step is not treating wrinkles, but protecting collagen before it begins to decline.

Mature skin

The skin gradually loses firmness, hydration and the ability to regenerate. It requires active support for cells and the skin barrier.

Dr. Sandra’s tip

A mask according to your skin type. The modern approach to skin ageing is not a fight against age. It is support for healthy skin function at every stage of life.

Redness and rosacea

Ordinary redness or rosacea?

Not all redness is rosacea. Sensitive skin can turn red when the weather changes, after unsuitable cosmetics or under stress. This kind of redness tends to be temporary, and the priority is to restore the skin barrier and care for the skin gently.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that most often affects the central part of the face. With rosacea, so-called flushing may appear at the very beginning: sudden, temporary and repeated episodes of facial redness, traditionally described as the first stage of rosacea. At first the redness fades; later it may persist. Other signs include visible small blood vessels, burning and sometimes inflammatory spots. Rosacea can be made worse by intense sun, sharp changes in temperature, hot drinks, alcohol, spicy food, stress or unsuitable cosmetics.

If the redness persists, keeps coming back or is accompanied by burning or spots, have your skin examined by a dermatologist. Cosmetics do not treat rosacea; the treatment is decided by a dermatologist based on the findings. Suitable care, however, helps calm sensitive skin and strengthen its protective function. Klinika Esthetic offers diagnosis and treatment of rosacea.

With rosacea, what you do not use is often more important. Avoid aggressive peels, high concentrations of glycolic acid, menthol, camphor, strong fragrances and products that make your skin burn. Ceramides, squalane, panthenol and niacinamide tend to be suitable. You will find more in the doctor’s article on which active ingredients to avoid for different skin conditions (in Slovak).

To support the skin barrier, we recommend the 24-hour Ultrafacial cream with ceramide NP and squalane. For cleansing, the alcohol-free acidic toner for sensitive skin may help, although its suitability depends on individual tolerance.

With rosacea, what you do not use is often more important than what you do use.

Post-summer regeneration

Sun exposure accelerates skin ageing, weakens the skin barrier and promotes the formation of pigmentation.

We recommend these products

Dr. Sandra’s tip

Up to 80% of visible signs of skin ageing are related to long-term UV exposure.

Longevity skincare

Care inspired by modern science of skin longevity. The goal is not to look younger at any cost, but to keep the skin healthy, functional and vital for as long as possible.

Dr. Sandra’s tip

Longevity skincare focuses on supporting cellular energy, regeneration and collagen protection – the basic pillars of healthy skin. Face mask according to skin type.
