The oil your skin produces determines your skin type.  Many  factors affect the production of oil by your skin.  Your genes,  diet,  medication, stress and your skincare regimen are some  of  these  factors.   Achieving healthy skin requires different skin care approaches as  needed  by  different skin types.

Each skin type needs the appropriate skin care.  Oily skin is prone to blackheads and blemishes.  Sebum  is  overly secreted by this type of skin.  With excess oil on its surface, it tends to be shiny with enlarged pores.  Spots and pimples  with  tightness  often  develop in oily skin.  Regular and thorough cleansing should be included  in this skin care regimen.  A smooth and even texture characterizes  the  combination  or  normal skin. Medium  pores,  healthy  color  and   good   circulation   are   its other characteristics.  This is clear, supple and healthy-looking  skin.   While it tends to be oily in the forehead, nose and chin, it is dry on the cheeks and other areas.  Oil and moisture are properly balanced in this type of  skin.

It  is both oily and dry.  Compared with other skin types,  normal  skin  requires less treatment.  Good skin care is still needed.  Fine pores characterize sensitive skin which tends to be thin and delicate.  It can be prone to get a rash, flushes easily and is  prone  to  broken capillaries.  On physical  contact  with  foreign  matters,  sensitive skin easily becomes irritated.  Conditions  especially  in  the  environment strongly affect it.  Only products  that  are  labelled  for  delicate skin should be used for this type.  Here are some things to consider if you have dry skin. After cleansing, it feels tight.

Unlike  normal  skin,  it  cannot retain  moisture.   Fine  wrinkles,  flaking  and  red  patches   are some distinguishing characteristics of the skin.  Dead  skin  build-up  makes it appear ashy or dull in most women of color.   The  regular  use  of  a good moisturizer is an important part of dry skin care.  Wrinkles and slack skin tone around the cheeks and jawline are  the visible signs of aging or  sun-damaged  skin.

The  texture  is  leathery  and the capillaries are broken. Caring for your  skin  properly  means  finding the tried-and-true ways that suit your type of skin.
