SKIN CARE SERIES WITH S.STUDIO SIGNATURE - HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR SKIN TYPE

Do you know your skin type? Do you know the first step to effective skin care is knowing your skin type and knowing what skin care product is good for you. There are different factors that determine what kind of skin type one should  classify their skin as. These factors are : Oil content and Water content
Oil content: This affects the softness of the skin.
Water content: This affects the skin elasticity.
The level of these content in the skin determines where one should classify their skin. There are Four Skin types and most of us fall into one of these categories which are:

  • Normal Skin
  • Dry Skin
  • Oily Skin
  • Combination Skin

How To Identify Normal Skin: If you have a slightly Oily Tzone (skin around the forehead, nose, and chin) and a dry Czone (skin around the chin and cheek), then that is a normal skin. This skin type is neither oily or dry, it has few or no blemish, it comes with a radiant complexion, less sweat and barely visible pores.

How To Identify Dry Skin: This type of skin is associated with small pores, it shows flakes of dead skin, if your Tzone and Czone is always dry and wrinkled, then you have a dry skin

How To Identify Oily Skin: This type of skin is characterized by large pores and it is also greasy. If the Tzone and Czone is always sweaty and Oily, then you have an oily skin.

How To Identify Combination Skin: This type of skin is a combination of the Normal, Dry and Oily skin. Usually the Skin is Oily in the Tzone and feels Dry or Normal in order areas. Here there are patches of dry and oily skin.
