DO YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF SKIN YOU HAVE?

It could be considered an easy question or one of those things that you are required to know. But surely you have asked yourself that question by looking closely at me in the mirror. Me too. And the answer is not so easy or clear. Each skin is a world that also changes over time. But don’t worry, skin can be classified into four types anyway, and each has its own characteristics.

Here are some signs to know what type of skin you are.

• Mixed skin
  
  The same word says it all, this type of skin is between normal skin and oily skin. The area that is usually more oily is the T zone, which is the forehead, nose and chin. And what are the cheeks, the skin is normal or even dry. Experts say that this skin is the most difficult to care for since it has a mixture of characteristics. It is necessary to achieve correct hydration but at the same time that it does not generate sebum and that it treats the areas separately.

• Normal skin
  
  Normal skin has a regular texture and is free from blemishes. It also has a smooth and clean appearance. It is characterized because it does not have shine and the pores are small. People who have this type of skin, have pink and uniform tones.
  This type of skin is the easiest to treat, since it does not need special attention. But, even if you do not have to take care of it extremely, it does not mean that it does not need care. Because lack of care can generate dry or oily skin.
  
  
• Oily skin
  
  People with oily skin have a shiny appearance all over their face due to the high production of sebum. The biggest problem with this type of skin is acne and blackheads. It is characterized by having very large pores.
  Excess sebum requires a routine and specific products.
  
  
• Dry skin
  
  Dry skin is characterized by a lack of moisture in it, which gives the sensation of tightness and rigidity. It is peelable and has a dull, whitish appearance, as well as a rough feel. Sometimes it tends to have spots and appear older than it really is.
  To treat this type of skin they need good hydration with moisturizers, essential fatty acids and antioxidants that help restore the natural moisture of dry skin and increase its flexibility.
  
  
  The skin can change. There are some factors that can influence and cause the skin to transform. When we are born, our skin is thin and permeable to many substances or sun rays. Furthermore, the defenses of the dermis have not been fully developed. Later, adolescence is marked by hormonal changes.

In adulthood, the skin continues to change, generating certain confusion about its state. In fact, people who had oily skin in their youth, when they reach an older age, their skin can change to a dry one, and so on.

Pollution, sun rays, stress, a poor diet are also factors that make the skin constantly change. It is important to keep a balance from the inside out to avoid these drastic changes that can be abrupt on the skin.
