Types Of Skin

There are five basic skin care types: normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin. Your skin type is determined by how much -- or how little -- oil your skin produces. Genes, diet, stress level, medication and even your skincare regimen all determine how much oil your skin produces. Here's how to tell what skin type you have:

DIY Skin Test

Wash your face and then pat it dry. Take a few pieces of rice paper and press it onto different areas on your face. If your skin is oily, the paper will stick, picking up oily spots and become translucent. If the paper doesn't stick and doesn't pick up any oily spots, your skin is dry. If it sticks in your t-zone (forehead, nose and chin) then you have combination (or normal) skin.

About 70 percent of women have combination skin.

Skin can be divided into various types according to its texture. It is essential to know the various types of skin, so that treatments are completed accordingly. Here are the five different skin types and their characteristics.

Normal Skin | Dry Skin | Oily Skin | Combination Skin | Sensitive Skin

Normal Skin

It has a fine even texture with a supple and smooth surface. It has a proper balance between oil and moisture contents and is therefore neither moist and neither greasy nor dry. It looks clear and does not develop spots and blemishes. The pores of the skin are fine and barely visible. It reflects good health and needs gentle treatment.

Dry Skin

Dry skin has a dry parched appearance and has a tendency to flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles and lines. It is due to the inability to retain moisture as well as the insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Dry skin often has problems in cold weather and ages faster than normal or oily skin. Constant protection is very important. It needs a moisturiser during the day and a good cream at night.

Oily Skin

This type of skin is caused by the over secretion of sebum making the skin surface oily. The excess oil on the surface of the skin attracts dirt and dust from the environment. Oily skin is also prone to black heads, white heads, spots, pimples and such skin will never be clear. This type of skin needs to be cleansed thoroughly.

Combination Skin

This type of skin is very common. As the name suggests, it is a combination of both oily and dry skin with certain areas of the face oily and the rest dry. Usually there is a Central greasy panel consisting of the forehead, nose and chin and a dry panel consisting of cheeks and the areas around the eyes and mouth. The greasy central panel is referred to as T - Zone. In such cases, each part of the face should be treated accordingly.

Sensitive Skin

This type of skin has a fine texture and is very sensitive to changes in the climate with delicate pores. Skin flushes easily, is prone to broken capillaries, is frequently allergic. The skin will often appear extremely red or blotchy in certain areas especially the cheeks after treatments such as bleaching, waxing, threading, IPL or laser hair removal etc.
