To determine
your skin type, blotting a clean tissue on your face
in the morning is an easy way to find out your skin type.
There are five common skin types:
normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive. Blotting a clean tissue on your
face in the morning is an easy way to find out your skin type.
1. Sensitive
skin: can mean different things to different people. Sensitive skin can
become inflamed and irritated easily. It is important to choose the
right skin care for sensitive skin because many cleansers and moisturizers
contain ingredients that can cause an adverse reaction.
2 A dry skin:
often flaky and feels tight after being wiped. Gentle cleansing and a rich
protective moisturizer for dry skin is essential to control that tight,
uncomfortable feeling.
3.
An oily skin
type will leave blots of facial oil on the tissue, particularly from the
cheeks, nose and forehead. This type of skin has overactive sebaceous glands,
producing more oil than necessary. Oily skin is prone to acne flare ups and
enlarged pores. It is vital to thoroughly clean the skin regularly with gentle,
soap-free cleansers.
4.
A normal skin
has good circulation and there will not be any trace of sebum (or oil) on the
tissue. Normal skin is soft, with a smooth, even skin tone.
5. Combination skin: oil is produced around
the 'T-zone' of the nose and forehead but not on the cheeks, mouth and eye
areas. The best skin care for combination skin will involve treating each
region differently.
