Know Your Skin Type..Right Here Right Now..

The first step towards beautiful skin is to know your skin type.To determine your skin type, conduct a simple test in the morning, when you have just woken up:
Take a clean dry facial tissue ,
wipe your face, and you can figure out your skin type.
1) NORMAL skin: If the tissue does not reveal any
 traces of oil, then your skin belongs to a normal type.
This type of skin is the least problematic type.
Normal skin has an even tone with a soft, smooth texture.
It is moist and neither greasy nor dry as it has a proper balance between oil and moisture contents.
 It looks clear and does not develop spots and blemishes.
The pores of the skin are fine and barely visible.
It reflects good health and needs gentle treatment.

2) Dry Skin: If your skin is dry, the paper will be clean but the skin is left feeling stretched or too tight, flaky and parched. It is prone to wrinkles and lines. It is due to the inability to retain moisture as well as the insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Dry skin often has problems in cold weather and ages faster.

3) Oily Skin: If there is oil on the tissue, the skin is of oily ty The texture is often very thick and coarse. There are large, visible pores. This type of skin is due to the over secretion of sebum making the skin surface oily. The excess oil on the surface of the skin attracts dirt and dust from the environment. Oily skin is also prone to black heads, white heads, spots and pimples.




4) COMBINATION SKIN: if the
 tissue shows grease on the center
panel only, then it is a combination skin. Combination skin is a combination
 of both oily and dry skin. There is a greasy
center panel (also known as a T-zone)
consisting of nose, forehead and chin and a dry
panel consisting of cheeks,
 mouth and the areas around the eyes.
In such cases, use skin care products
 made especially for combination skin
