It's fascinating to know that we have five different or common skin types: oily, normal, sensitive and dry, combination. One way to find which type of skin you have is by blotting a clean tissue on your face in the morning. Having a normal skin type has good circulation, because no any trace of oil (or sebum) can be seen on the tissue.
You might want to ask ,What is my skin type?. Well, there are some ways to identify your skin type
like I said earlier, normal skin has good circulation and no trace of of oil (sebum) will be on the tissue. Normal skin type so soft and smooth with an even skin tone.
oily skin can leave blots of tissue on an oily face, particularly the cheeks, forehead and nose. Oily skin has reactive sebaceous glands which produce more oil than expected . This type of skin can be caused by either diet, hereditary factors, hormone levels, unsuitable cosmetics, pregnancy and stress which will lead to enlarged Pores and acne flare ups. It’s very important to thoroughly wash and clean the skin all the time with gentle, soap-free cleansers.
The dry type of skin has a low level of sebum and usually doesn't maintain oil so easily. Dry skin feels tight when wiped and it's often flaky. What is required is a gentle cleansing as well a rich protective moisturisers for the skin, this is essential to manage that tight, uncomfortable feeling. As the seasons changes it may be necessary to adjust your dry skin moisturiser as well.
the combination oily skin type is produced close to the 'T-zone' of ones forehead and nose but on not cheeks, eye and mouth areas. The best care for combination skin is to treat each region differently.
People who have sensitive skin can mean differently to them. It might be caused by skin conditions as eczema, rosacea or allergies.A sensitive skin type can become irritated or even inflamed easily. It's vital to choose the appropriate skin care for a sensitive skin, because so many moisturizer and cleansers which contain ingredients that can easily lead to an adverse reaction.
