Know Your Skin
Type
Vanity is a natural human characteristic. It is
innate in all of us. And although most people do
not regard their skin as an organ, our skin is in
fact the largest vital organ in our body. Skin that
is clogged and unhealthy is not just a beauty
problem. It can become a hindrance to your sense of
vitality and wellness. Proper care of your skin is
important not only to your personal sense of beauty
but also to proper elimination, more graceful aging
and overall health.
There are five major types of skin. Understanding
your skin type is the best approach to your personal
skin care.
Normal skin—is
the type of skin that we’d all love to have. This
is the “healthy” type of skin. This type is the not
too oily, not too dry type, characterized by few
blemishes, generally firm and smooth with small
pores. When you pull the skin away from the bony
structure, it springs back to normal position. Lines
and wrinkles are appropriate for age.
Dry
Skin—due
to environmental exposure to harsh elements and very
often lack of water skin may flake off and feel
tight in your face. It may lack natural oils, may
look rather flaky with small pores, blemishes and
blackheads. Without adequate moisture, dry skin can
easily become chapped. As dry skin ages, it’s more
likely than other types to become wrinkly.
Oily Skin—skin
may look oily and coarse, may have recurring
blackheads, acne and large pores. The texture of
skin is thick; the touch is often sticky. This type
is usually youthful- looking due to the presence of
oil on the skin. Often, individuals with oily skin
have a tendency to develop acne in their teen and
middle years, and overgrown oil glands, or sebaceous
hyperplasia, in the middle and late years.
Combination Skin—varies
according to your skin type. This is the Jekyll and
Hyde type of skin, often with split personality.
This type may be characterized as oily on the T-zone
(the area that stretches from the forehead down to
the nose and chin), and dry to normal on the cheeks
and around the eye area.
Sensitive Skin—people
with sensitive skin are the most prone to allergies,
rash, sting, and burns. This type of skin gets
irritated easily and can go very red and blotchy.
This type will have a lot more trouble to
environmental factors and tends to be very sensitive
to cosmetics.
Know your skin and take care of it. It is your
glory to being healthy and beautiful.
