Skin care



When it comes to beauty, no one loves to talk makeup, hair and skin care more than women

What's your Skin Type?There are six different skin types and they are classified as dry skin, normal skin, oily skin, mature skin, combination skin and sensitive skin. It is important to identify your true skin type so you are able to select the most effective skin care products for your special skin care needs. Determining your skin type is easy, and the information will help you when choosing the right skin care products for your specific skin type.

Dry skin
 

Dry skin is characterized by fine pores which may make the skin look and feel dull. This skin type can be easily irritated, may feel thin, and tight. After each wash, dry skin tends to feel extremely rigid as if the skin is being stretched, and flaky patches may appear if dry skin goes without treatment and care. Dry skin is to be treated with skin care

Wrinkle
Aging is a long process that plays a major role in changing the skin's texture. As your age increases, wrinkles also increase, estrogen levels change, and the moisture of the skin starts to decrease. These are the reasons skin starts to lose its elasticity as well as its firmness. Sagging skin, wrinkles and age spots are all the visible signs of aging. Aging skin needs the proper care and attention as well as any other specific skin type.

Acne Prone Skin:

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disorder that occurs in adolescence as well as in adulthood. Acne prone skin may be rather thin in some areas, while coarse around the pimples with numerous flared pores. Acne may be caused by external factors such as a poor diet, deficient personal hygiene, environmental pollutants, excessive heat, and comedogenic creams and cosmetics including makeup, or it may also be caused by internal factors such as genetic vulnerability, hormonal stress, and even by certain medication.


Oily skin

If your skin is shiny and greasy and prone to frequent acne break outs, then it is quite possible that you have oily skin. The problem with oily skin is that it often gets dehydrated because of the constant efforts of removing oil from the skin. Frequent soap and water washes dehydrate the skin and with oily skin, you need to work towards restoring moisture to the skin. Many believe that they should not use any kind of moisturizer on their oily skin, but on the contrary, it is very important and wise to always choose a light and watery fluid to moisturize oily skin.

Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is easily prone to irritation like stinging, chafing and even itching, thus requiring special care. After each wash, sensitive skin usually feels dry and itchy in some areas of the body. As the day progresses there usually are flaky patches of skin appearing, as well as visible redness, and the skin may also be prone to acne breakouts. People with sensitive skin are usually not able to use most of the cosmetic products available on the market.

Normal skin

Normal skin has an even tone, is soft to the touch, has a smooth texture, has no visible pores or blemishes, and is without greasy patches or flaky areas. This type of skin has a clear, fine-textured, supple and smooth surface which is neither greasy nor dry. It glows with an inner health which stems from good blood circulation and excellent health. It is beautiful, but it needs care if it is to last. Neglect can lead to signs of aging and wrinkling and can also lead to the negative characteristics of the other skin types.
