Care appropriate for each skin type

Taking care of the skin begins with knowing your skin type because, ultimately, it will determine the skin care routine you need to follow and the types of products that best complement your skin. Skin types are classified into four categories: normal, dry, oily and mixed. Below you will find a description of each type and suggestions on how to deal with it.

Ordinary

Happy those with normal skin because this guy is the least problematic. One, it looks fresh and supple even after noon. Two, he is smooth and has even complexion. Third, although the pores are visible, they are not big enough. Clogged pores are also not a problem, which is why, four, pimples and rashes are rare occurrences. And fifth, normal skin requires minimal care and maintenance.

Simple facial cleanser does well on normal skin. The best cleansers for normal skin are those without alcohol. Although normal skin naturally has the right level of moisture, moisturizers are still a must, which preferably should have UV protection and antioxidant properties. Ordinary skin rarely develops skin problems, but care should still be observed when choosing skin care products and cosmetics. It is best to use the products with mild and, if possible, organic ingredients.

Dry

Two positives for dry skin are the rashes and blemishes are rare and that the pores are too tiny and not visible. But this can also be problematic because it tends to be dull, flaky and sometimes rough. Wrinkles and fine lines can also be evident in people with dry skin.

The culprit would be this lack of moisture. There are several reasons for this. One is time. Windy, cold and dry climates can eliminate the body's natural moisture and have adverse effects on the skin. Another is age. As a person ages, their ability to produce and retain moisture becomes weaker. Excessive sun exposure, the use of aggressive skin care products and genetics are also possible reasons for dry skin.

Dryskin calls for special care using products that aim at keeping the moisture sealed into the skin. People with dry skin should steer clear of products with alcohol since alcohol can further cause dryness. Instead, use of products with glycerin, petroleum, lactic acid, and lanolin is encouraged. Moisturizers are also necessary in making dry skin supple. Those with  Vitamin E   and are oil-based are good moisturizers for dry skin. Use of cosmetics with moisturizing properties is also recommended.

Oily

Oily skin has big and visible pores, has coarse texture, and ends up always shiny. It is also more prone to clogged pores, leading to breakouts and acne. Oily skin results from too much production of sebum, the skin’s natural oil, so maintenance should be directed at keeping oil at a normal level.

The use of cleaners with stubborn cleaning properties is necessary for the care of oily skin. However, corrosive products should never be used because they are likely to cause increased oil production by the sebaceous glands, which complicates the problem.

Some skin specialists recommend the use of products containing salicylic acid and antibacterial ingredients. The exfoliation, at least once a week, is beneficial for oily skin because it removes dead  skin cells   that can clog pores. Hydrating oily skin is needed to rehydrate after deep cleansing, but moisturizers must be particularly light and oil free. Other skin care products and cosmetics must also be labeled as free from oil, comedogenic and non-acnegenic.

Combination

Most women have this type of skin. The T-zone, which is the forehead, nose and chin, is fat, while the cheeks and eye area are dry. The T zone is often the area of ​​imperfections. During washing, some parts of the face may feel tense and tense.
