Do you want to know your skin type? Follow the steps below to determine your skin type and the appropriate care for it: wash your face and leave it to dry. After about an hour hit with a piece of sponge on the forehead, cheeks, chin and nose.
If one girl has a shiny appearance and on the piece of blotting paper are residues of fat, it means she has a normal skin. If one girl’s skin looks dry and scaly, and the piece of blotting paper has no trace of fat, it means they have a dry skin. If one girl has a shiny appearance and on the piece of blotting paper are residues of fat, it means you have an oily skin.
There is the possibility to have a mixed complexion. Areas where you have oily skin are: forehead, nose and chin and in the cheeks area you have normal or dry skin. Normal skin has a supple and smooth texture, with an equal content of oil and water and therefore is neither dry nor greasy. Looks clean and bright, without spots and radiating health. This type of skin requires gentle treatment to avoid drying it.
Dry skin has a delicate texture, brittle and with more spots. Compared with other types of skin, it dries and cracks easily because faced with the impossibility to retain moisture and an insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. This type of skin has serious problems in cold seasons and ages faster than normal and oily skin. Also, expression wrinkles are more visible on the skin. Hydration is needed during the day and of course during the night.
Oily skin is caused by an excess secretion of sebum making the skin surface oily. The excess sebum attracts dirt and dust from the environment. This skin type is prone to blackheads, spots, pimples and never will be perfectly clean. It needs daily cleaning to prevent accumulation of impurities.
Mixed skin is very common. As the name implies, is a combination of the two extreme types of skin (oily and dry): girls known as the oily skin area as "the T" and the rest – is dry. Usually, there is a central part with oily skin (nose, chin and forehead) and one dry (cheeks and areas around the eyes and mouth). In this case each side of the face should be treated according to skin type.
