Skin Care - What"s Your Skin Type?

You have to remember that your skin is a living organ and needs to be taken care of.
 This means cleaned and moisturized, and of course protected.
  Finding the correct product for your skin type should not be too difficult.
 There are four different skin types:  
  1. Normal - If your skin is normal great.
     Your skin is probably supple and smooth with average pore size and smooth texture.
     Your skin does not have any visible oil on the surface, or flaking skin.
  2. Dry - Dry skin is characterized by small pores and your skin may feel flaky and taught.
       Often during the winter or less humid conditions flakes of dead skin may appear.
  3. Oily - It is common for oily skin to have large pores and blackheads.
     It is characterized by a shine over your face.
  4. Combination - This is the most common skin type and as it suggests, combines oily, dry and normal into one.
     Usually oily in the T-zone and normal and dry on your cheeks.
To determine your skin type try the following test.
Dab a tissue on your face.
 I like to place an open Kleenex on my face and press it on my forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
 After removing it look at it and you should be able to decide what skin type you have.
  If the tissue:   -          Has a clear, greasy appearance.
 Well, you guessed it, you have oily skin!   -          Has nothing.
 You have normal skin.
  -          Has oily appearance in the T-Zone.
You have combo skin   -          Has appearance of skin flakes.
 Grab the moisturizer, because you have dry skin.
Using the correct cleanser and moisturizer for your skin type is important.
 Harsh soap and heavy creams may claim to help but will often over clean and leave your skin clogged.
 To avoid unsightly blemishes and breakouts use a cleanser and moisturizer formulated for your skin type.
