HOW TO FIND YOUR SKIN TYPE?

Many of our skin problems starts because we don’t know our skin properly. Whether you be a men or women, you should know to which type your skin belong to before you treat your skin. There are four major skin type.

DRY SKIN

Dry skin has a very dry and patched appearance and it has a tendency to flake easily. This skin type is prone to wrinkle and lines which is normally associated with ageing. Some people have a naturally dry skin. Even if your skin is naturally dry, the right nourishment can work wonders. If you have a dry skin you should definitely have a moisturising routine.

NORMAL SKIN

Normal skin type is neither too oily nor too dry. It is not over sensitive to wind, sunlight or cold. It does not have open pores and poses little problems unless it has been neglected or abused.

OILY SKIN

Generally people develop an oily skin in their teens. One’s skin becomes very oily by the overproduction of sebaceous glands. People who have oily skin should avid oily food, starches and sugar. If your skin type is oily, you should have a rigid skin care regime and should remove every trace of make up every night before going to bed. You should use mild exfoliates while bathing.

SENSITIVE SKIN

Sensitive skin is usually very dry, thin and delicate with fine pores and it tends to feel tight. It becomes inflamed and irritated easily. People with this skin type should avoid products with alcohol or unnecessary chemical ingredients that may irritate the skin. You can use almond oil to cleanse the face.

Now let’s find our skin type. To find your skin type all your need is just three steps with a tissue paper.

First you need to wash your face with a good cleanser. After the wash, light dry your skin with a towel. Now take a tissue paper and blot it on all areas of your skin.

If the tissue shows no sign of oil and your skin looks generally healthy then you have a NORMAL SKIN.

If the tissue show no oil, but your face feels very tight and flaky then you have a DRY SKIN.

If the tissue is oily and your face looks shiny especially on the nose, forehead and cheeks then you have an OILY SKIN.

If you are left with oil in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) and while other areas of the face are dry then you have a SENSITIVE SKIN.
