How to determine your skin type

The skin is dry - apply cream, it is dirty - wash. So why determine the skin type?

It's not that simple. Normal skin type is young and healthy people, with good moisture, maybe a slight shine and visible pores in the middle of the face.

Basically, the pores are thin, not clogged with sebum. The skin is elastic, pink, without wrinkles, tolerates temperature and various skin care products well, said Yulia Chuprykova .

Any deviations create a different skin type.

So, if you have thin pores, visible in the middle part of the face, not clogged with sebum, but there is a light white powder on the skin with a network of fine wrinkles - such skin is considered dry.

If the pores are wide in the T-zone of the face, such skin is considered combination. And wide pores with increased sebum all over the face are oily.

But if you have oily or combination skin, and you feel symptoms of dryness on your face, then your skin is still dehydrated. It needs to be restored, not moisturized.

Sensitive skin can be combined with any other type, it is defined by long-term redness of the skin after frost and hyperemia after washing.
