Skintypes

Hi everyone, I'll be discussing different skin types. It's important you know your skin type so you'll be careful with the way you take care of your skin.

The basic  skintypes  are:

. Oily skin type 

. Dry skin type 

.Normal skin type

.Combination skin type

.Sensitive skin type 

OILY SKINTYPE

This skin type appears shiny and greasy. If your skin looks shiny and greasy then you've  got an oily skin. This type of skin opens pores, which has the  tendency to allow pimples, blackheads. This skintype is prone to acne.

 

Care:

. Washing your face regularly can aid to reduce the amount of oil  on your skin with the help of a gentle soap and  water.

.Use of a facial mask: Some facial masks can  help in treating oily skin. e.g honey. Honey  face masks  can reduce acne on oil skin while keeping the skin soft .

Stay hydrated: For this skin type drinking lots of  water to keep  it hydrated  will help to prevent the skin from producing excess oil.

Moisturize: Moisturizing helps in reducing

excess oil on an oily skin.

DRY SKINTYPE

This skin type lacks moisture which could result to a flaky and rough appearance.

Ways to identify  Dry skin 

.Flaky

.Skin feels tight 

Care:

.Moisturize regularly: Moisturizing dry skin helps to reduce dryness and keep it moisturized.

.Protect your skin from cold: During  cold weather  your skin tends to be  very dry and maybe starts peeling.

. Protect your skin from the sun.

 NORMAL SKINTYPE

This skin type feels even and balanced. It's neither too dry nor too oily nor sensitive. It is a perfect and balanced skin type which has healthy glow, with fine texture.

Care

Boost your moisture levels with moisturizer to protect and pamper normal skin.

COMBINATION SKINTYPE

This skin has a blend of oily and dry patches. Its like a  centre panel  or T-zone, across the forehead and down the down the nose and chin, some parts tends to be oily  and tends  to be treated like an oily skin. However the other areas are prone to dryness and flakiness from lack of moisture and needs to be treated like a dry skin type.

Care: Dual approach to skincare.You focus on like you are treating two skin types. You'll need to moisturize dry areas  and reduce excess oil on oily areas. The oily areas  would be on the T- zone(  your forehead, nose above your mouth and chin)

SENSITIVE SKIN 

This skin type could be prone to redness and allergy.They have varying levels of sensitivity. It can easily get irritated to most products  that other skin type might not react to. 

Care: Extra gentle products can keep this skin type soft and supple, products which are free from common irritants  which the skin  reacts to that can cause dryness, itching  or even allergic reaction.
