Yet another skin care tip! Detailed
this time
The first step to protect your skin
is to know it better – Normal, dry,
oily, combination or sensitive. On understanding
your skin type you can treat it properly and keep it healthy over
years, safe from the day-to-day polluted lifestyle.
As we all know and mentioned on my earlier
blog there are five skin types’ normal,
oily, dry, combination and sensitive. However, these classifications are not entirely true today;
air, water, food (vegetables and animal flesh) is getting highly polluted
day by day. The normal
skin technically defined as the balanced skin that works correctly
with the right apatite and physical excesses, thus it's so hard to find that we
could consider that almost does not exist. This one is thin, soft,
smooth and supple, luminous skin in which no areas of dryness, open pores, or
other skin changes such as redness, veins, etc. are appreciated. It corresponds
to a person whose system circulatory and lymphatic functioning properly and a
perfectly balanced metabolism. Something even that fails because of
aggressive anger factors which our skin faces daily!
Acneic skin is
something commonly found on the adolescents, suffering a bacterial
contamination associated especially to hormonal changes of puberty but in
recent years that have passed juvenile barrier. This type is altered to
multiple factors whether combination, oily or dry or the mature
factor, they need a number of assets to cope with the passage of time and
the elements, regardless of their levels of water and fat. Keeping that mind the same person can also have different types of
skin not only in your body, very
fat or very dry areas, but
also to show this diversity in a small area like the face.
On knowing the skin is not
always the same, it changes over years, seasons, pace of life, mood
and so on...
While physiologically the skin of
all humans are equal, it is clear that they aren’t the same; nor can be treated
the same way on different stages of life - childhood to teenager to old man, or
at pregnancy or a person subject to a low diet in calories. So one must pay attention to the conditions in
which the skin is at all times to give what it needs at the right time. It's
not as difficult as it seems. In fact, it's what we do every day, for
example we know the diet which suits our needs accordingly at the time we are
hungry. Skin is also the same. It is the largest organ of a human
being and care should be taken by the state to keep it healthy.
To know more about it, we'll stick
to the most common features of the four types of facial skin types: dry, oily,
combination, sensitive, so we can identify what we skin.
How to identify

tight, dull, rough, brittle, peeling, has wrinkles and pores are tiny.

sheen and feel, large pores, pimples and / or blackheads especially in the
nostrils, slippery or rough texture.
