Morphology for Skincare: from Ayurveda to Oleage.

The study of human constitutional morphologies dates back to the Ayurvedic medical system, where each person was seen as a unique combination of natural elements – fire, earth, water and air. The concept then evolved in ancient Greece thanks to Hippocrates, the Greek physician who theorised that people could be classified according to their “morphology”, i.e. the interaction between hereditary constitution and environment.

The Difference Between Constitution and Morphology

While constitution is innate and unchangeable, morphology is influenced by external factors, such as the environment and lifestyle, and can therefore change over time. There are four main constitutional morphologies, each with specific physical and emotional characteristics and each with different skincare needs. Understanding your constitutional morphology type allows you to adopt more effective and targeted treatments with tailor-made skincare, such as that offered by Oleage. Let’s discover them together!

The Four Constitutional Types and Skincare with Oleage

Lymphatic Morphology/Carbonic Constitution

Keyword:
Slowdown

Weak organ:
Thyroid gland

Emotional characteristic:
Passivity

Physical constitution:
Lymphatic morphology is associated with a softer body structure, often gynoid (pear-shaped). A wide pelvis and poorly toned muscles are accompanied by pale skin that is prone to water retention. This constitution tends to have a slower immune response and requires a more delicate approach to skin care.

Character and personality:
Lymphatic people are calm and thoughtful, they love stability and methodical work.
They prefer a quiet, peaceful and relaxed lifestyle.
Although they are emotionally stable, they may struggle to react to certain challenges.

Blood Morphology / Fatty Sulphuric Constitution

Keyword:
Practicality

Organo Debole:
Cuore

Weak Organ:
Heart

Physical constitution:
Those with this blood type have a robust build, with broad shoulders, a wide chest and slender legs. Their skin is often sensitive and may be prone to rosacea or widespread redness, especially when under stress.

Character and personality:
Sanguine means sociable: these people love human contact and sharing, they are altruistic, optimistic and engaging. However, their impulsive side can lead to episodes of stress, which obviously affect their skin.

Waterless: Oleage Natural Biotech Moisturising Face Cream, ideal for moisturising (morning and evening)

Cleansing: H2Oleage Spirulina Cleansing Milk, for deep daily cleansing

Deep Cleansing: H2Oleage Gentle Cranberry Scrub, to be used every two to three weeks

Bilious Morphology / Lean Sulphurous Constitution

Keyword:
Will

Weak organ:
Liver

Emotional characteristic:
Honesty

Physical constitution:
An hourglass figure and toned muscles characterise the bilious morphology: the skin, which is thicker and tends to be olive-coloured, can be prone to seborrhoea or hyperpigmentation and requires specific products to rebalance the dermis.

Character and personality:
Bilious people are determined and always goal-oriented. Resilient and ambitious, they face difficulties and overcome obstacles with tenacity, but a too intense pace of life can overload the skin.

SKINCARE BILIARY MORPHOLOGY with OLEAGE:

Waterless: Oleage Classic Serum for oily, acne-prone skin (morning and evening)

Cleansing: Spirulina Cleansing Milk H2Oleage

Deep Cleansing: H2Oleage Gentle Blueberry Scrub, to be used twice a week

Nervous Morphology / Phosphoric Constitution

Keyword:
Hyperactivity

Weak Organ:
Nervous System

Emotional characteristic:
Innovation

Physical constitution:
With a slender, elegant and delicate physique, the nervous morphology is characterised by poorly developed muscles and thin skin, which is often prone to dryness and the onset of wrinkles or expression lines.

Character and personality:
Lively and creative people, they are dreamers by nature. Emotionally sensitive, they find inspiration in change and in the search for new things, but this hyperactivity can be reflected in their skin, which requires soothing care.
