You care about your skin a lot. You read a lot about skin care products and ways to clean your skin and moisturize it. In most of the articles, they tell you specifically about how to treat your skins depending on your skin type. So, how many skin types are there and where does your skin belong to? This article is going to help you know about your skin.
We have five types of skin actually. The first kind is the oily skin. To know if you have this kind of skin, put your dry hands on your face, rub it a little and then see what is on your hands. If your hands are shiny and greasy, it means you have oily skin. Of course, you do not want to have this kind of skin because it makes your face look like you've just run many miles and sweat a lot. People who wear make-up hate this kind of skin, because it will damage all the make-up and make it look unclean.
For this skin, do not try to use soap or other chemical products to reduce the oil because you will just stimulate the oil and make it greasier on the face. Natural masks can help reduce the oil, if you do it regularly, for example twice a week.
The second common skin is dry skin. Dry skin in winter is very normal and but does not create problems in summer as oily skin. However, in winter if you have dry skin, your skin will be very taut and chapped. People who are likely to have this kind of skin are often those who do not protect their skin carefully and often let them be exposed to external factors like sunlight, cold or dirt.
However, it is easy to take care of this problem. Drink a lot of water every day. Natural masks to moisturize your skin and keep oil on your face are a must. Do not use lemon or anything which can dry your skin to wash your face.
The third kind of skin is normal skin. Among all the kinds of skin, normal skin creates fewer problems. Normal skin is usually strong and has no flaws. All you have to do with this skin is to take care of it everyday. Do not let it be exposed to sunlight and external factors like chemicals.
It is best for every type of skin that you limit the use of soap. Even soap which they may say helps to moisturize your skin can dry and damage your skin. For this kind of skin, you can exfoliate your skin once a week, it would not be a problem to do it twice.
The fourth kind of skin is combination skin. You may not hear this very often. However, many of us have this kind of skin. It is not oily skin but it is not dry skin either. It means that on your face, part of it is oily and part of it is dry.
How will you treat this kind of skin? For those oily parts, apply the recipe for oily skin and for dry parts apply the recipe for dry skin. You will have to mix all the methods to find the bestone for you.
The last but not least kind of skin is sensitive skin. Among all kinds of skins, this skin tends to give trouble the most. I have some friends who have this kind of skin and they always have to be careful with it.
