Want to Know Your Skin Type?

To pamper ourselves with our skin treatment it is essential to know about the look and feel of our skin. We must first know under which category we fall, so that we don’t delay the starting of the treatment.

There are five major categories of skin. There are the normal, oily, dry, combination and the sensitive ones. After identifying the type of your skin, we should choose the right kind of cream and lotion. Today, there is no insufficiency of the numerous products available in the market for the various kinds of skin.

How do you check your skin type?

One easy way to check is by wiping your face with the dry tissue in waking up in the morning. If there is oil on the skin, then the tissue will be greasy, and is called an oily skin. Apart from external skin care, you should be careful about your diet.

A combination skin is a mix of oily and dry skin. If there is grease only in the center panel of the face and dry elsewhere then it is a combination skin, which is T-shaped on the face.

If there is no grease at all then it is normal skin. It is a perfectly balanced skin and less problematic.

If the skin is too light, shiny and parched then it is a dry skin. It requires more care because it is quite sensitive. This is exactly what happens in the case of dandruff when our skin is deprived of moisture.

A sensitive skin is very delicate and vulnerable and prone to allergies. This is not very easy to test.
