Daily Skin Care Routine – 5 Simple Steps For Every Skin Type

Wouldn’t it be great if your skin just took care of itself? No need to worry about cracks, wrinkles or anything like that! Just turn up looking flawless all the time! Well sadly, there isn’t anyone in the world who has that luxury. Depending on your skin type, there is actually a lot you should be doing to keep your skin healthy and pretty.

Did you know most women aren’t fully aware of their skin type? In this article, you will gain insight on how to determine your skin type and find information on how you can customize your skin care routine to suit your skin type.

Normal Skin

Normal skin has a balanced feel to it. That is, neither does it feel dry nor does it feel oily or sensitive.

Oily Skin

If you are constantly blotting or washing your skin to combat greasiness, you have oily skin. Oily skin tends to have larger sebaceous glands to produce excess oil. This skin type is usually genetically inherited and is prone to acne.

Dry Skin

Dry skin has a compromised moisture barrier through which moisture keeps escaping through the course of the day. This skin type feels taut and is easily irritated. Dry skin is more susceptible to premature aging than other skin types.

Combination Skin

If your skin has more than one texture, i.e., if it is dry in some places and oily in others, it is likely that you have combination skin. Typically, people with combination skin experience oiliness around their T-zone and dryness everywhere else.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is prone to irritation more than other skin types. If you are constantly finding red patches on your skin and are more susceptible to acne, it is likely that you have sensitive skin.

Aging Skin

Aging skin has three determining factors – fine lines/wrinkles, dark spots, and skin sagging. Dry skin tends to age faster than other skin types and therefore the skincare regimen for both aging and dry skin is similar.
