Skin type is a category that can change several times during a lifetime.
In childhood, skin can be normal, in adolescence - oily with a tendency to acne, and in adulthood - dry or combination. This is influenced by many factors.
Elena Masalitina, founder of the botanical cosmetics brand Masaliti, told how to determine your skin type: tips.
The first is the wrong choice of cosmetics. Sometimes we incorrectly determine our skin type and use cosmetics that only worsen the condition of the epidermis and unbalance the skin microbiome.
The second is an unhealthy lifestyle and bad habits.
Thirdly, climate.
Fourth, not using UV protection.
Classically, there are four types of skin:
1. Normal. It looks healthy, has no peeling, redness, or tightness after washing.
2. Oily. It is characterized by shine and a tendency to inflammation and comedones.
3. Dry. Such skin is often irritated, its owners experience a feeling of tightness - they want to add a little more nutrition to the face cream.
4. Combination. The skin combines oily areas (usually the T-zone and forehead or chin) and dry areas on the periphery (for example, on the cheeks).
With proper cosmetic care, each of the listed types can be balanced, bringing the epidermis to a healthy state.
If you have difficulty determining your skin type, consult a cosmetologist who, using special equipment and knowledge, will tell you all the secrets of skin care.
Earlier, the doctor spoke about mistakes made when washing dishes.
