your skin type

Factor that determined your skin type includes: genes, stress level, diet, our skin care regimen, and the skin care product you choose. Your skin type is determined by how much or how little your skin oil production. You have to choose the right skin care product for your skin type.

If your skin type is normal, count yourself one of the lucky ones. Women with normal skin don’t fall into any of the above categories, have smaller pores, and aren’t typically irritated by beauty products. Combination skin type – a mixed skin type is also very common. Usually the T-zone (nose, forehead and chin) is oily, and the cheeks are dry.

If you find that your skin has a greasy film after washing or first thing in the morning (particularly around the cheeks and nose) then your skin type is greasy (also called oily). Consider yourself lucky if you have this skin type. If you look after it, wrinkles won’t appear until late.

Unfortunately your oily skin tends to break out more often than other skin types. The pores of your skin type are usually enlarged and the skin is also very prone to blackheads. The best face cleanser for oily skin incorporates exfoliating ingredients and works to deep clean pores without irritating skin or drying it out.

Flaky skin residue on all tissues – without oily residue – or a tight feeling in the skin indicates your skin type is dry. The choice of cleansers is also greater for your skin type – either the wash-off or cream versions will do the job. Moisturize only the areas that need it.

Sensitive skin can be one of any of the skin types, but it is in a class by itself because it needs to be treated in a very special manner. Sensitive skin can be affected by a number of factors; temperature, chemicals, and even plucking eye brows or getting your upper lip waxed can severely irritate sensitive skin. So it is important to know your skin type to enable you to choose the best products for you skin.
