How to Know Your Skin Type!

It is important to know your skin type and how to care for its special needs. There are four main types of skin; normal, dry, oily and sensitive. Most people have a combination of skin types. Mix and match for the best skin care!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Normal Skin:
   Clear, supple and soft normal skin is neither too dry nor too oil. It isn't overly sensitive to the sun, climate or the environment either.

2. Dry Skin:
   Dry skin looks dull, feels tight after washing and needs constant protection and moisturizing to avoid flaking and peeling.

3. Oily skin:
   Oily skin might feel soft and supple, bit it looks shiny and needs to be cleansed several times a day. Pores are larger than those of either normal or dry skin. This type of skin is often prone to outbreaks of acne.

4. Sensitive Skin:
   Sensitive skin reacts badly to sunlight or irritants in the environment. It burns easily and may develop rashes, blotches or spots when exposed to new substances, such as the chemicals often found in commercial skin cleansing products.

5. Combination Skin:
   Usually the T-zone is oily and the outer edge of the face can be dry! This skin takes special care not to dry out the outer edge of the face while fighting the oil in the T-zone!
