When choosing a base, you need to differentiate two elements: moisturization level and the texture.

Moisturization Level

It determines the proportion of hydration and moisturization. Levels are not directly linked to specific skin types, as each individual's skin and personal preferences are unique, but you can make the following simplification as a starting point:

- Level 1: oily skin.
- Level 2: combination skin. 
- Level 3: normal skin.
- Level 4: dry skin

Later, with the use, you may decide to increase or decrease the level based on your specific needs.

Texture

- Light: ideal for you if you prefer a light and fast absorption moisturization.
- Nourishing: enriched with nourishing and repairing ingredients. The perfect choice to create a targeted night treatment.
