Know Your Skin Type: A Prelude to a Healthy Skin

You are in the right path pondering about your skin health, as it forms a vital part of your overall health and beauty.

The preliminary and most crucial of steps towards a glamorous skin lies in finding out your skin type. Here are a few skin types, discover yours and learn how to care.

Tightened Skin beyond Winter?

Wondering what could it be when the dryness and tightness persists way after the winter is gone? It could be that you are born with a dry skin type. Your skin has the inability to retain enough moisture and so it is advisable to provide topical moisture and prevent draining out the natural moisture.

Care: Avoid washing your face under tap water and use only lukewarm water for washing and bathing as hot or cold water may drain out excessive moisture. Ensure that you use a cleansing cream of neutral pH that lacks non-detergent substances. Pat dry after wash and do not rub. A gentle massage with moisturizer or oil helps.

Is Your Skin Over-Reactive?

Having embarrassing eruptions on your face after waxing, threading or a make-up might be indicative of a sensitive skin. Make a self-analysis to find the degree of sensitivity and irritability of your skin during exposure to various external conditions.

Care: Replace your toiletries with everything mild. Look for a label that reads “for sensitive skin” while purchasing cosmetics, cleansers etc. Avoid the use of exfoliating creams. Flavored and scented creams or cleansers may have additional irritants. Excessive washing of your face be best avoided.

Never Needed a Moisturizer?

Some skin types have more than the usual secretions by the oil glands (sebum) that leaves them with an oily look. An oily skin demands much care as these attract dust that leads to clogged pores and breakouts and blackheads.

Care: Foamy cleanser in hot water helps. Carry facial tissues. Spicy and oil foods need to be avoided.
