Dry skin is very sensitive, more delicate, the pores on the skin are imperceptible. The skin is smooth, tender, pale, prone to early aging and requires proper and more thorough care. With improper care, the skin peels, shrinks, loses its elasticity, becomes wrinkled. Often the sensitive skin is covered with small red sosudas, pimples and red spots. The use of soap, cosmetics and the use of certain products cause an allergic reaction to the skin. Increased dryness of the skin can talk about the lack of vitamins, lack of fat in the body or about diseases of internal organs.
Oily skin
Oily skin is porous, thicker, rough, glossy even after washing, on this skin there is acne, which often inflames, the pores are clogged with black dots. Oily skin is less sensitive to unfavorable factors. Due to the abundant fatty grease, moisture evaporates more slowly from the skin surface, which means that the skin remains young for longer. Wrinkles on such skin are formed later than in people with dry skin. Oily skin is more common in adolescents and young people, with age, the fatty skin type changes to a mixed type.
Combined or mixed skin
Most people have a combined or mixed skin type. Mixed skin type has a darkish shade. On separate parts of the face - the skin glosses( forehead, nose chin) - here the skin is oily, the pores on the skin are clearly discernible, there are acne. And on the edge of the face, on the cheeks, around the eyes, in the neck area, the pores are completely invisible, the skin is thin - dry, often peeling, covered with wrinkles. When caring for combination skin, two types of cosmetics should be used - for dry and oily skin. In a more mature age, the mixed skin type changes to a normal type.
How to determine the skin type
Over time, any type of skin ages, fades. From the surface of the skin evaporates moisture faster, the recovery process slows down, it becomes coarser, wrinkles appear. Skin saggers, turns yellow, becomes sluggish.
The same negative impact on the skin is affected by the environment, severe frost, wind. Excessive sunburn under the scorching sun or in the solarium, not only worsens the skin, causing a burn, allergic rash, itching and flaking, pigmentation, but can lead to skin cancer.
