How To Identify Your Skin Type And Why That Matters

There are a couple of different types of skin depending on factors related to its balance like heritage, way of life, exposure to the sun. In the beauty industry, the skin types that are more focused on are; normal skin, sensitive skin, dry and oily skin. Different skin care products tend to favor different skin types so knowing your skin type could help you choose your skincare products a bit more accurately and to gauge your skin`s response to sun exposure allows you to buy products meant for you.

Knowing your skin type

To find this out you should wash your face before going to bed and don’t apply anything to it. When you wake up in the morning and notice your skin is very oily around your forehead, chin and nose, and cheeks then you have oily skin. If it`s as dry as it was when you went to bed or even quite flaky then you have dry skin. If your face is very oily around your T zone which is the forehead, nose, and chin but your cheeks are normal or even dry, then you have normal skin.

• Dry skin- Having dry skin simply means that you’re not moisturizing properly or bathing too frequently, every time you shower and the water evaporates the skins dries more. A simple remedy for this is reducing the number of times you come into contact with water, then invest in a good moisturizer.
• Oily / Greasy skin- This skin type is a result of excessive production of sebaceous glands. It is usually porous and has a humid appearance. It is usually related to factors like hormones or living in humid environments. You may need to change your skincare routine depending on the environment.
• Normal Skin-This is skin that has a regular texture and is neither dry nor too oily and does not require extra care.
• Combination skin – This skin type where some parts of your face are dry or normal. Usually, you are likely to have an oily T-zone and dry or normal cheeks.
