We all have different skin types, and in order to look after it properly we need to follow variation steps for effective skin care and maintain. In order to predict your skin type wash your face a pat dry with a clean towel but allow the skin to feel moist. Using a facial tissue paper, rip pieces and put them on the nose, chin and forehead. If the tissue paper sticks to your skin, you have an oily skin type, and if its does not, your skin is dry. You have normal skin type if the tissue paper absorbs oily but does not stick to the skin.

Before you learn about what your typical skin care routine should be, learn what skin type from below you have. You may possibly have characteristics from more that one of the skin types below.

Normal Skin

Normal skin has characteristics such as normal pores and has a smooth texture. Normal skin, may at times get very oily, but mostly is nor oily nor dry.

Oily Skin

Oily skin has an oily and shiny complexion and makes the skin look dull. Side effects of oily skin include pimples, coarse pores and blemishes which may begin to look embarrassing as they may leave scars. This skin type is caused by over-active sebaceous glands which produce a natural healthy skin lubricant known as sebum. Excessive sebum is what causes the skin to react by producing pimples, blemishes and makes the skin more prone to blackheads. However, this does not mean that your oily skin does not need daily moisturise.

Dry Skin

Dry skin can be caused by low levels of sebum production giving the skin a patchy look which is caused by the skins inability to absorb and retain moisture. The skin may be cracky and chap and look dehydrated. Dry skin can look and feel tight and may be painful, especially after washing your face. You may feel a little comfortable as soon as you apply some facial moisturising cream.

Sensitive Skin
