Therefore, representatives of the beautiful half of humanity spend a huge amount of energy, energy and money to care for their faces daily. But it happens that the result makes the best and appearance of the skin does not suit its owners at all. The reason for this discontent often lies in the incorrect care of the skin of the face that nature awarded to her mistress. In this article, we will consider the characteristics and ways to determine different types of skin at home, as well as the basics of caring for them.
Depending on the amount of moisture and the intensity of the sebaceous glands, 4 main types of facial skin can be distinguished:
Each of these types has its own specific characteristics and care features. But with any of them, the basic foundations, such as morning and evening cleaning, tonic and use of moisturizing and nutrient cream, are mandatory. It is just always important to choose high -quality cosmetics that correspond to your skin type. Gently and carefully select the ingredients for the manufacture of homemade masks, scrubs, peeling and other caring procedures.
To determine the type of skin, it is better to contact a good cosmetologist, but at home this can be done yourself. One option is to conduct a test with a napkin or cirrier paper. In the morning after sleep or 2-3 hours after the usual washing with soap, put the napkin on the face for a few seconds as much as possible. Then carefully remove it and study in detail. Noticed oily traces in all parts of the face, then you are the owner of oily skin; only in certain places (for example, forehead, nose and chin) – combined skin; If there are no traces, but after the soap the skin is pulled out – you have dry skin; And in the absent oily spots and the general satisfactory condition of the skin, you can congratulate you on normal skin.

Care for such skin does not require special efforts and costs, but you should not forget about mandatory foundations, because under the influence of an incorrect lifestyle and age -related factors, it can lose its ideality. Balanced diet, the absence or minimization of the number of stresses, sufficient rest, as well as proper basic care for a long time will assign the pleasant title of the owner of normal skin for a long time.
In order to attribute your type of skin to normal, in addition to a test with a napkin, it is enough to simply study the skin for the presence of the above basic characteristics. It is difficult to make mistakes in this case, because the absence of any complaints and problems will be the main and rather significant indicator.
