Understanding Skin Care For Your Skin Type

It never hurts to look beautiful and proper skin care is one of the best ways of enhancing ones look. Beautiful skin gives the message that you care about yourself. It also means that you are eating right and leading a healthy lifestyle. The sooner you start with your skin care routine the better it is for you and your skin.

The right skin care for you depends on your skin type. Using the wrong skin care type products is not only a waste but can also be harmful for your skin. Once you are aware of your skin type you can start with your very own skin care routine.

Dry Skin Care
Those with dry skin will find that milky cleanser or cream cleanser work best for them. These contain gentle oils that help in removing dirt and makeup. Use lukewarm or cold water to rinse your face. Never wash your face with hot water as it dries the skin. After washing your face apply a thick cream and massage gently. Avocado oils, calendula oils, chamomile, and vitamin compounds are good for dry skin so look for these ingredients in your skin care products.

Oily Skin Care
Now let us discuss skin care tips for those with oily skin. Use a gentle cleanser that can gently wash away the oil and also unblock pores, blackheads, and blemishes. You should not use a harsh detergent based soap or cleanser as it will lead to more oily skin. People with oily skin do not need a lot of moisturizer but you do need some. Make sure you use an oil free moisturizer.

Normal Skin Care
People with normal skin will do well with a cleanser that can help remove makeup and dirt. Toner and a moisturizer should be a daily part of your skin care routine. Do not use too much moisturizer, little will do for you.

Sensitive Skin Care
Sensitive skin is another tricky area. People with sensitive skin should use skin care products that are specifically made for sensitive skin. Soap should be strictly avoided. You should use skin care products with chamomile, calendula oils, avocado oils, vitamins and horse chestnut as they have a very soothing effect on the skin.

Combination Skin Care
Combination skin is also a challenge because it consists of both dry and oily skin. Therefore, you need to find a cleanser that will clean the oily areas. Use a toner in the t-zone and use two different types of moisturizer on your face. Aloe Vera based moisturizer can be used on the t-zone and a calendula based moisturizer can be used on the cheeks and the forehead.

A healthy and beautiful skin is a result of right diet and proper skin care routine and none of them should be neglected.
