    Beautiful skin cannot be achieved without the right care, but this is only possible if the cosmetics suit your skin type.

     

    Normal skin type


    People with normal skin are envied by people with normal skin - no blackheads, no shine, no flaky skin, or tightness. Little is needed for this type of skin care:

    daily cleansing;

    regular exfoliation;

    moisturizing.

     

    Dry skin type


    Knowing you have dry skin is easy. Most of the time, there are barely visible pores and no oily sheen. In some ways, that"s great: no shine, no problem. On the other hand, there is a problem: the sebaceous glands are not working properly, hence the acute lack of lipids and protection. Characteristics of dry skin:

    thin;

    with a visible network of capillaries;

    dull

    Extremely sensitive to extreme temperatures.


    Oily skin type


    This skin type is not easily confused with other skin types. Mostly not:

    Oily skin is shiny almost immediately after washing;

    Enlarged pores are visible;

    Prone to skin rashes and inflammation.

    Be sure to take good care of your problem skin.

     

    Combination Skin Type


    This skin type occurs in most people. If you are one of them, it could mean that you have

    Your skin is oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin);

    The rest of your skin is normal.

     

    Sensitive skin type


    The following characteristics can recognize sensitive skin:

    Increased irritability;

    Reacts to most cosmetic products with redness;

    Does not tolerate temperature changes well;

    Prone to flaking, tightness, and itching.

     

    How to determine your skin type


    To find out exactly what skin type you are, you must sit in front of a mirror and look closely at your reflection.

    Enlarged pores and lots of blackheads in your T-zone? Most likely, your skin is oily.

    The pores are barely noticeable, but the spots on your cheeks are dry. Dry.

    Pores are invisible on your face but more prominent in your T-zone? These are signs of combination skin.

    None of the above? Yay! Your skin is almost perfect, which means it"s normal.

    But you can use a few simple tests to identify your skin type.

    If you notice fine lines on your cheek when you squeeze it between your fingers, you have a water balance problem, and your skin is dry. And you can use dry skin oil.


    Apply a matte washcloth to your face. Does it leave an oily residue? Chances are you have oily or combination skin. If it does "t, you have dry, normal, or sensitive skin.
