How to determine your skin type
To determine your skin type, you need to properly prepare your skin and light.
The skin must be free of any cosmetics.
Dermatologist Daria Nastaskova told how to determine your skin type.
It is also desirable to achieve a natural daylight hit. Arm yourself with a magnifying mirror and begin studying your skin.
We begin the examination from the center of the face. Pay attention to the presence of noticeable, enlarged pores. In no case should you rely on the amount of sebum secreted when determining the skin type, since its secretion can depend on various factors, starting with environmental influences. Therefore, the reliable method will be an assessment of the number of noticeable, enlarged pores.
After examining the central area of the face, the T-zone, we move on to examining the lateral surfaces of the face. And also pay attention to the presence of enlarged pores.
In addition to enlarged pores, you need to pay attention to the presence of peeling, as well as fine wrinkles.
Based on the examination results, conclusions can be made about the skin type. Globally, in cosmetology, several skin types are distinguished: seborrheic (in simple terms - oily), sebostatic (dry), normal and combination.
Seborrheic skin is characterized by the presence of enlarged pores all over the surface of the face. Sebostatic skin, on the contrary, is characterized by the absence of a large number of visible pores, as well as the presence of fine wrinkles and peeling.
Combination skin can have properties of both seborrheic and sebostatic skin. Normal skin is the ideal situation, with a moderate amount of enlarged pores all over the face.
The most common skin type is combination. Often, people with combination skin mistakenly classify themselves as people with oily, seborrheic skin.
And based on this, inadequate care is selected for them, which can lead to various unpleasant side effects, such as: dryness and a feeling of tightness, increased sebum secretion, premature aging, and so on.
