Different women have different facial skin types. It can be normal, dry, oily or combination skin. Basically, what sets each type apart is the amount of oil produced by the skin. It can be because of the genes, lifestyle, diet, weather and sometimes medications taken. It may also be affected by the type of skin care you’re following.

But before finding out how to properly care for each type, it’s essential to find out what your type is. A normal skin type has an even tone and texture, and there are no noticeable pores and blemishes. It’s not too oily and not too dry, so it’s less likely to develop problems like pimples. A dry skin type has very little sebum, so there’s a feeling of tightness especially after washing it. It’s susceptible to dullness, flaking, redness and wrinkling.

The oily type, as the name suggests, produces too much sebum. Because of this, it tends to be shiny all the time. The pores are large and visible, and it’s also prone to formation of blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. On the other hand, the combination type has both dry and oily areas. The T-zone may produce too much sebum, while the other areas are relatively dry. Because of this, caring for it effectively can be a real challenge.  Read more...

Moisturizing your skin is often the first weapon against fighting dry skin. Moisturizers basically fall into two classifications, which are based upon how they attack dry skin.

General skin moisturizers are those that work by retaining the moisture that is already in your skin. These type of moisturizers create a type of shield to keep the moisture in your skin. They are often priced very cheap and can easily be found at local supermarkets and drug stores.

Another type of skin moisturizer works by taking moisture from the air and adding it to your skin. This skin care treatment has been known to work wonders for those living in areas that are very high in humidity.  Read more...
