What is your Skin Type?

You're aware of the hype surrounding skin types that are normal, oily, dry, combo, or sensitive. Which one, though, do you own?

It is subject to alter over time. For instance, having a normal skin type is more common in younger people than in elderly people.

What makes a difference? Your type is determined by factors like:

The elasticity and comfort of your skin are influenced by the amount of water in it.
How greasy it is, which influences how soft it is.
How delicate it is.

Normal skin is neither very oily nor too dry. It has:

Few or nonexistent flaws
Not overly sensitive
hardly discernible pores
A glowing faceĀ 

Skin Type Combination

Combination skin types may include:

pores that appear more open and bigger than usual
Headaches
lustrous skin

Pores that are nearly undetectable
rough, lifeless skin
crimson marks

Dry skin can be brought on by or exacerbated by:

Your genetic makeup
Hormonal fluctuations or aging
Conditions like wind, sun, or cold

Shower and bathe briefly, no more than once a day.
Make use of soft, gentle cleaners or soaps. Don't use deodorant soaps.

How to handle greasy skin:

Wash it after a lot of sweating and no more than twice a day.
