Did You Know that Facial Skin Care Depends on Your Skin Type?
The market is full of facial skin care products of all
types. How do you know what will be suitable for you and which magic
formula will make your skin look the best? If you are a total novice in
skin beauty care, you will be totally stumped by the choices you find in
the market. There are hundreds of products out there – it would be very
difficult to decide what would be the right one for you.
Facial Skin Care Regime will Depend on Your Skin Type
The first thing you should find out is what skin type you have. There
are three types of skin – oily skin, dry skin and normal skin. A fourth
skin
type is also there, which is a mixture of both oily and dry skin. In
this case the skin around the nose and the length of the forehead is
oily; more commonly referred to as the T-zone. The rest of the face
would be dry in this type of skin type. This mixed type of face is quite
difficult to take care of since you have to mix the facial skin care of
two types of skin.
Basic facial skin care usually involves cleansing, exfoliating, toning
and moisturizing. The cleansing is done with a soap-free cleanser which
will clean the dirt while the exfoliating will remove the dead cells
from the face. Sometimes, the cleanser and exfoliator are both rolled
into one. After cleaning the face, a toning lotion is applied which
strengthens the skin, followed by a rich moisturizer.
Facial skin care for dry skin type would require a lot more moisturizer and
night replenishment creams to keep the skin hydrated and supple as dry
skin is highly prone to wrinkles because of loss of moisture and oil.
Hence, this type of skin will require more care to keep it healthy and
youthful.
Oily skin usually leaves the face looking greasy. The
facial skin care
for oily skin type is different from that of dry skin.
For oily skin type, the
emphasis is on removing the oil and letting the skin breathe. Here after
the cleansing, an astringent needs to be used which will close the pores
and reduce the production of oil. The advantage of this skin type is
that because of its oily quality it will not get easily wrinkled.
As age advances, special products pertinent to the type of skin you have
would be advisable. However, facial skin care should always be
complemented by a healthy diet and plenty of water.
