Welcome to femaleya! Finally, 2021 has come and hopefully, this year will be grateful for the world.
The most crucial topic before start the skincare routine is to know your skin type. Well we know that there are 5 kinds of skin type but you would be surprised to know that there are 6 kinds of skin. Let’s go to the skin types
1.Normal
2.Dry
3.Sensitive and Allergic skin
4.Oily
5.combination
6.matured skin
Normal skin (ph 5.5 to 5.8)
This type of skin is unfortunately to found but not rare.
It is balanced between dry and oily skin, therefore it is well-balanced skin.
The normal skin is sound with good muscle tone. It is soft and smooth.
The pores are tight and the skin leads to having a crystalline glow.
Dry skin
There is a lack of lubrication caused by an under secretion of sebum (natural oil) from the sebaceous glands.
The dry skin can also become dehydrated because of a lack of moisture content.
This skin condition can be easily recognised by fine lines around the eyes and mouth.
The skin is often rough and flaky in the nose and cheeks
Those with dry skin are spared the problems of acne and spots but as they ages, the skin loses elasticity.
Sensitive and allergic skin
This skin is very fine in texture and usually has a tendency of broken capillaries, on the cheek and sides of the nose, where the skin is tightly drawn and very thin.
It shows a great tendency of becoming breaking out in rashes after severe treatment or irritation through strong preparations.
It is easily getting to temperature exposure like cold, heat and wind.
Oily skin
Oily skin is coarser and thicker than other types and has a greater tendency to develop open pores, blackheads, pimples and papules.
It appears, mainly around the nose and chin.
They are generally caused by the sebaceous gland being clogged which in turn is caused by poor circulation.
The very dilated pores give the skin an orange peel-like appearance due to the excessive production of sebum which prevents the pores from closing.
Combination skin
This is quite common and is rather difficult to treat
It is usually characterised by an oily centre panel or Tzone, with pores and slight oiliness in these areas.
Sometimes spots appear in these areas moreover clogged pores and blackheads.
The cheeks, eye areas and throat are frequently become dry.
Matured skin
This skin type shows the characteristics of dry skin but to a greater extent.
It may look very parched, saggy and dehydrated if no skincare has been practised during the younger years
It is deeply lined and loose due to a lack of moisture
