TWO STEPS TO KNOWING YOUR SKIN TYPE

There are different ways to know your skin type but first, let’s take a look at the different

types of skin.

There are five (5) types of  skin types to note;

These skin types include

• Oily skin type

• Dry skin type

• Normal skin type

• Combination type

• Sensitive skin type

These skin types can benefit from moisturizing the face and also cleansing daily

And they all have different approaches to achieving the desired result which is why

It is important to know your skin type.

LET’S LOOK AT THE FEATURES OF

DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES LISTED ABOVE

1. Oily skin

Oily skin type produces excess sebum which causes the skin to appear shiny and feel greasy.

This will be noticed on the T-Zone (forehead, nose, and chin).

If your skin type is the oily type then  you may be more likely to have enlarged pores,

And you may be like to develop acne blemishes and be more prone to acne breakouts.

2. Dry skin type

Dry skin type is naturally dull and may become rough, flaky, or even scaly.

It usually feels tight or less elastic and may likely be prone to showing more visible lines.

ADDING, it may sometimes become itchy or irritated.

3. Normal skin type

A normal skin type is a balanced skin type.

It’s usually neither dry nor oily.

NORMAL SKIN TYPE is not prone to breakouts or flakiness. It doesn’t feel slick or tight.

Normal skin type Pores are usually small, the skin’s texture is smooth and it is to be prone to sensitivity or blemishes.

4. Combination skin type

Combination skin type,  as the name implies includes areas that are dry and same time oily

in other areas, like the T-Zone usually being oily, and the cheeks being either dry or normal.

5. Sensitive skin type

This skin type is oftentimes referred to as a skin type, but as it seems, your skin type can only be

• oily and sensitive

• dry and sensitive

• normal and sensitive

Be it as it may, if your skin type is sensitive, it may likely be red, feel like it’s burning, itching, or dry.

If you have a sensitive skin type you need to pay more attention to your skin.

Regardless, These symptoms above may likely be related to having skin that is prone

to external irritants and may be caused by certain ingredients,

like dyes or fragrances, and also, environmental factors are not left out.

If you noticed you have a sensitive skin type,

you need to determine what triggers your sensitivity and try your best to avoid products

containing that kind of ingredients or change your environment to reduce your exposure to triggering agents.
