WHAT IS MY SKIN TYPE?


             Hello beautiful 😊


Have you wondered why it’s very important to be well familiar with your skin type?

 Well, let me tell you. It is because each skin type requires different product formulation despite the need of peculiar active ingredients such as antioxidants, sunscreen agents and cell communicating ingredients. Also, it influences the decision we make when it comes to skincare routine and skincare products we purchase.



WHAT IS MY SKIN TYPE??

There are basically four skin types namely;


Oily skin (shiny skin characterised with the absence of dry patches or areas)
Combination skin (oily in the central part of the face or T-zone, normal and dry in some areas)

Normal skin (absence of oily and dry patches)
Dry skin (flaking, absence of oily patches and feels tight, usually looks dull from dead cell build-up)



Note that your skin type is never static as it varies from time to time, week to week or season to season or even month to month due to weather, your stress levels, hormonal changes or diet fluctuations.



Oily skin type


Oily skin is shiny and characterized with larger visible clogged skin pores. It is prone to breakouts such as pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. However oily skin always looks younger due to its natural moisture and it is less prone to wrinkles.


Combination skin type


Characterised with a slightly oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) with and normal patches. A lot of women have this skin type. This skin type demand different care on different areas. Be on the lookout for my next blog post on how to take care of your skin type.

This skin type has larger pores than normal in some areas, blemishes and blackheads. This


Dry skin type


Dry skin looks dull from dead cell build-up, have almost invisible pores, have red patches and usually feels shrunk or tight after cleansing or a shower. Sometimes it feels very itchy and painful making it uncomfortable.

Dry skin flakes, crakes and inflamed. It would be wise to keep it well moisturised most of the time.


Normal skin type  


This skin type is the desire of every women out there. It is neither too dry nor too oily characterised with the absence of severe skin sensitivity, fine skin pores and few or absence of imperfections. This skin type is just well balanced.
