Caring Different Types of Skin

Beautiful skin is a real luxury. How to get such a grant? The first step is to understand what is necessary for your skin and choose the right care program.

Normal Skin You are lucky! Your smooth and soft skin with an even tone looks beautiful and needs minimum care. But, at the same time, you should not forget about the regular care for normal skin. The following advices are to help you maintain your skin healthy-looking and radiant. • First of all, wash your skin twice a day with a mild cleanser. • It is also recommended to use a mild toner (an astringent with low alcohol content) after cleansing. It helps keep the pores tight and remove the traces of the cleanser. • Don’t neglect moisturizing. Normal skin needs a mild, oil-based moisturizer. It is advised to choose creams that contain vitamins A, C, and E. These constituents make your skin texture better, as well as fight against free radicals. • To protect your skin from the negative influence of ultra-violet rays, use products that contain sunscreens.

Oily Skin Oily skin causes a lot of problems. It looks greasy and is prone to the development of blackheads and pimples. It is quite difficult to make it look beautiful. To maintain oily skin healthy, one should stick to a regular care program combined with a balanced diet that will help reduce the secretion of oil. • It is very important to wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser, which removes dirt and dust and prevents the appearance of pimples. Dermatologists recommend having a professional cleansing once a month. • Cleansing procedures should be accompanied with the use of astringents that help remove the excess oil. • Do not use oil-based creams, because they may make the condition of your skin worse. • Try to remember the following rule: if you have pimples, do not touch or squeeze them, because they may leave scars. You should better use special creams that are more effective in this case. • When the weather is hot, you are advised to use minimum makeup. • Pay attention to the food you eat. First of all, exclude chocolates and fried food, and try to stick to a healthy diet.

Dry Skin People with dry skin complain of tightness (especially after cleansing), red patches, flakes, and fine wrinkles. This type of skin needs special care and, sometimes, doctor’s consultation. In everyday life you should stick to some simple rules. • Use mild cleansers once or twice a day. There is one important note – the cleanser should not contain any soap, because it may remove natural skin oil and thus contribute to further dryness of the skin. • The cleansing should be followed by oil-free moisturizer. It is good if it contains vitamin C, which helps reduce fine lines. • Choosing night cream for dry skin, pay attention to those that contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s). These elements work as gentle peelers (they remove dead and dry layers of skin) as well as moisturizers.

Combination Skin Combination skin is very special and needs a lot of attention. This type is distinguished by the oily skin on the T-zone (across the forehead, down the nose, and chin) and drier in the other face areas. The following tips may be helpful in a daily care program.
