Different types of people have different types of skin. One should choose their skincare routine based on their skin type. Oily, dry, and combinational skins are some of the major types. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar helps you in knowing your skin type.
We shall begin by describing the four skin types people usually have. Dry skin is a type that is either a result of genetics or faulty lifestyle and diet. Not drinking much water and making your skin dehydrate is one major reason. One of the features of dry skin is it will remain tight no matter what. You will be able to feel the dryness and roughness.
Normal and combinational skin is a mixture of both oily and dry. One may experience glow and shine on their forehead and their nose. The cheeks will remain dry to complete the combination.
Oily skin Is a type that is clearly visible and does not feel dry at all. There would be a natural shine on your face all the time. One of the benefits of having oily skin is that your skin wouldn’t age easily.
Different skin types have different features and different skincare needs to be practiced for them.
If you are not able to figure out your skin type, we have a very easy test for you. Take bloating paper and place it over the different areas of your face. Now once you have to put the paper all around your face, turn the paper towards a source of light.
If there is no oil on the sheet at all, you have dry skin. If you can see that the oil has been absorbed from the forehead and nose, you have combinational or normal skin. If you see a lot of oil on the paper then it is evident that you have oily skin.
This is one way of determining your skin type, you can try a number of ways for knowing your skin type.
Once you know what type your skin falls in, you can take the right steps towards healthy and glowing skin.
