Skin Care for Your Skin Type

Posted In:
Blog

Did you know that there are several different skin type categories? Unfortunately, a lot of people are not aware of this information, which means many people don't take proper care of their skin.

The type of skin you have plays a big role in how that skin should be cared for. Thus, it is important to know your skin type and then to care for it accordingly. Doing so will help your skin to look great throughout your life.

 

Out-Oiling Oily Skin

The first type of skin to be aware of is oily skin. Skin that is oily has an over abundance of the natural oils that the skin must produce in order to stay strong, moisturized, and healthy. This oil is not a bad thing, but it is not ideal for the face to create too much oil. When that happens, the skin must be cared for carefully. Otherwise acne, overly visible or clogged pores, and dull looking skin can develop.

So, how can you tell if you have this skin type? Well, be on the lookout for a face that is overly shiny or greasy. Also, if you have very visible pores, are prone to acne, or have a hard time keeping makeup on your face, you probably have this type of skin.

Fortunately, there are many treatments and options for caring for this type of skin. Keeping your face very clean and regularly using a toner, moisturizer, and astringent can help. Regular exfoliation, at-home masks and treatments specifically designed for this sort of skin, and professional treatments for your skin type can also help a great deal.

 

Devoting Yourself to Dry Skin Care

While having skin that produces too much oil is not ideal, it is also hard to have skin that doesn't produce enough natural oils. When this is the case, your skin category is dry skin.

You may have this type of skin if you have more visible lines and wrinkles as you age, perhaps one of the worst effects of having this type of skin. Other indicators of this skin category include barely-there pores, red patches that appear out of nowhere, and a complexion that appears dull in general.

Unfortunately, people with this type of skin tend to age the fastest, especially if they do not properly care for their skin. Regular, intensive moisturizing is highly advised, as are professional treatments that are specifically designed to hydrate the skin.

Furthermore, living a healthy lifestyle, including eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water, can also help to combat the negative effects of having this type of skin.

 

Combatting Combination Skin

The final and most common type of skin is combination skin. You'll know that you have this type of skin if your skin is often dry in some places and then oily in others. In other words, this type of skin truly lives up to its name.

Look out for warning signs like an oily T-zone and a dry cheek area, as well as skin that changes depending on the seasons and the temperature, as well as with your menstrual cycle. This type of skin typically needs specialized treatments that combat particular areas of concern, which is why professional help is advisable for this type. In fact, professional help with your skin is never a bad idea, no matter which type you have. Knowing your type is the first step and then, from there, you need to seek the right help and care to nourish your particular type of skin.
