There are five major types of skin.
Understanding your skin type is the best approach to your
personal skin care.
-
Normal skin—is
the type of skin that we’d all love to have. This is the
“healthy” type of skin. This type is the not too oily, not too
dry type, characterized by few blemishes, generally firm and
smooth with small pores. When you pull the skin away from the
bony structure, it springs back to normal position. Lines and
wrinkles are appropriate for age.
-
Dry Skin—due
to environmental exposure to harsh elements and very often
lack of water skin may flake off and feel tight in your face.
It may lack natural oils, may look rather flaky with small
pores, blemishes and blackheads. Without adequate moisture,
dry skin can easily become chapped. As dry skin ages, it’s
more likely than other types to become wrinkly.
-
Oily Skin—skin
may look oily and coarse, may have recurring blackheads, acne
and large pores. The texture of skin is thick; the touch is
often sticky. This type is usually youthful- looking due to
the presence of oil on the skin. Often, individuals with oily
skin have a tendency to develop acne in their teen and middle
years, and overgrown oil glands, or sebaceous hyperplasia, in
the middle and late years.
-
Combination
Skin—varies according to your skin type. This is the
Jekyll and Hyde type of skin, often with split personality.
This type may be characterized as oily on the T-zone (the area
that stretches from the forehead down to the nose and chin),
and dry to normal on the cheeks and around the eye area.
-
Sensitive Skin—people
with sensitive skin are the most prone to allergies, rash,
sting, and burns. This type of skin gets irritated easily and
can go very red and blotchy. This type will have a lot more
trouble to environmental factors and tends to be very
sensitive to cosmetics.
There will be some in-betweens when it comes to skin type.
Just understand that some acne treatments work better with
different kinds of skin types.
Know your skin and take care of it. It
is your glory to being healthy and beautiful.
