Finding the right type of skincare solutions isn't always easy for some. Before choosing which skincare products to go for, we got to first understand what's our skin type.
.
.
Just like everyone has different lifestyle and habits, our skin too has different types.
The 5 common skin types falls under; Normal, Sensitive, Dry, Combination or Oily
.
.
Normal Skin- well balanced, the skin makes enough sebum to hydrate the skin.
Sensitive Skin- they're often dry, itchy and flaky. Under the sun, it tends to flush often and is easily irritated by changes in the weather. This skin type is prone to inflammation.
Dry Skin- the skin produces lesser sebum hence the skin lacks the lipids to retain moisture. Most common sign is the skin looks dull and lifeless.
Oily Skin- the skin produces excess sebum making it look shiny and people who have oily skin tends to have frequent breakouts
Combination Skin- a mix of dry and oily skin type. The area where it tends to have more sebum is usually at the T-zone (forehead, nose & chin) while the skin on the cheeks maybe dry/normal
Do you know which skin type you belong to?
