Euderma (normal skin)

Euder­ma refers to the con­di­ti­on of healt­hy, nor­mal skin with a balan­ced appearance. The term comes from the Greek, whe­re „eu“ means good and „der­ma“ means skin. In euder­mia, the sebum and mois­tu­re balan­ce are in equi­li­bri­um and the skin is neither too dry nor too oily. This skin con­di­ti­on is con­side­red ide­al and is main­ly found in youn­ger peo­p­le, but can also be main­tai­ned in old age through gene­tic pre­dis­po­si­ti­on and pro­per care.

Sym­ptoms

Healt­hy skin shows various cha­rac­te­ristic fea­tures. The pores are fine and incon­spi­cuous, the com­ple­xi­on is smooth, even and uni­form. The com­ple­xi­on appears rosy and fresh, the skin has a natu­ral ela­s­ti­ci­ty and resi­li­ence. The skin sur­face appears matt wit­hout exces­si­ve shi­ne and shows no flaking. The skin feels sup­p­le and soft and has a natu­ral resis­tance to envi­ron­men­tal influences.

Tre­at­ment

The­re are no or very few ble­mis­hes and the skin does not react hyper­sen­si­tively to care pro­ducts or exter­nal irrit­ants. Appro­pria­te care is also important for nor­mal skin. Gent­le cle­an­sing in the mor­ning and evening with mild, pH-neu­tral pro­ducts remo­ves dirt and excess sebum wit­hout dama­ging the skin bar­ri­er. A light mois­tu­ri­zer keeps the skin sup­p­le and pro­tects it from dry­ing out. Sun pro­tec­tion with at least sun pro­tec­tion fac­tor 30 is also essen­ti­al for nor­mal skin to pre­vent pre­ma­tu­re age­ing and skin damage.

It is important to remem­ber that skin type can chan­ge over the cour­se of a life­time. With incre­asing age, the skin often beco­mes drier as sebum pro­duc­tion decrea­ses. Hor­mo­n­al chan­ges, stress, cli­ma­te or ill­ness can also affect the appearance of the skin. Skin care should the­r­e­fo­re be regu­lar­ly adapt­ed to cur­rent needs. A balan­ced diet, suf­fi­ci­ent flu­id inta­ke and a healt­hy life­style help to main­tain nor­mal, healt­hy skin.
