Skin Types
It is an irony theat most people do not regard their skin as an organ. The skin is in fact the largest organ
in our body. Unhealthy skin is not only a beauty problem, it can become a hindrance to your sense of vitality and
wellness. Proper care of ther skin is very important not only to your personal sense of beauty but also to more
graceful aging and overall health.
There are five major types of skin. Understanding your skin type is the best approach to your personal skin care.
Normal skin—this is the type of skin that everybody would love to have. This is the “healthy” type of skin.
This type is the not too oily and not too dry. It is characterized by few blemishes but generally it is firm and
smooth with small pores. When you pull the skin away from the bones, it springs back to normal position.
Dry Skin—this is due to environmental exposure to harsh elements and very often lack of water. The skin may
flake off and feel tight in your face. It may lack natural oils, may look rather flaky with small pores, blemishes
and blackheads. This type always needs moisture.
Oily Skin—this type of skin may look oily and coarse, may have recurring blackheads, acne and large pores. The
texture of skin is thick and the touch is often sticky. This type is usually youthful- looking due to the presence of
oil on the skin. Individuals with oily skin have a greater tendency to develop acne.
Sensitive Skin—people with sensitive skin are the most prone to allergies, rash, sting, and burns. This type of
skin gets irritated easily and can go very red and blotchy. This type will have a lot more trouble to environmental
factors and tends to be very sensitive to cosmetics.
Know your skin and take care of it.
