Different skin type needs different treatment. So know your skin before buying skin regimen. Below are the most common skin types. Try to find which one is yours.
Normal Combination Skin
Normal Combination Skin is the most common skin type. Close to 80% of people have it. But it can also be the most confusing. Different things are happening to different parts of your face. The areas around your forehead, nose and mouth can be too oily, while the skin of your cheeks and around your eyes can be too dry. Balance is what you’re striving for and balance is what you can expect to achieve
Sensitive Skin
Sensitive Skin is actually a relatively rare condition and can occur in all skin types. Skin is easily irritated by anything from a new fragrance to laundry detergent to soap or medications. Tiny red capillaries may also be visible. Sensitive skin must be treated with great care. It is important to use products specifically developed for sensitivities, to avoid provoking negative reactions and to soothe, calm and hydrate the skin.
Oily Skin
Oily Prone Skin is characterized by excess surface oil produced by overactive oil glands and has a tendency to shine. Enlarged pores make it prone to blackheads and blemishes. Oily prone skin is often surprisingly dehydrated, that is, lacking in water, often due to excessive cleansing. Gentle cleansing, exfoliation and hydration, while controlling surface oil, can create an optimum balance – replenishing vital moisture without adding oil.
Dry Skin
Dry Skin can be a result of heredity, environmental factors, soaps, diets and the natural aging process. It can become dehydrated, rough and more prone to visible signs of aging. Restoring resilience, replenishing moisture and rebuilding support layers will help to achieve optimum moisture level and reveal supple, hydrated skin.
Acne Prone Skin
An estimated 20 million adults have acne prone skin characterized by excess oil, pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, redness and inflammation. Hormones and genes are the two primary causes. It is not curable, but with daily maintenance it is manageable and controllable.
