How to choose the perfect cosmetic for your skin type?

Recognizing your own skin type is crucial for good skin care. Each of us has a different complexion, different needs related to it and also different expectations. Knowing your skin allows you to choose the best cosmetics and apply them according to its needs. The type of skin depends not only on genes, but also on lifestyle, care, diet and other factors.

To take good care of your skin, you should pay attention to it. To determine your skin type, wash your face with a mild cleanser, dry it with a towel and observe how your skin looks and feels right after washing, 15 minutes after washing, 1 hour after washing. Do not apply any cosmetics. watch it! Normal skin at any time after washing is tense and firm but not itchy. Dry skin will feel taut immediately after washing. After an hour, it also starts to sting and itch. Oily skin is slightly matte right after washing, but after an hour it becomes shiny due to excess sebum. Combination skin is smooth and shiny immediately after washing, after some time it shines strongly in the T zone, but the cheeks are dry and itchy.

Also pay attention to how your skin behaves when introducing new cosmetics, how it reacts to changes in temperature or water.

Skin Types

1. DRY SKIN

It is skin with fewer sebaceous glands than it should. Because they produce less sebum, i.e. moisturizing fats, it does not have good protection against external factors. This causes excessive water loss and skin dryness. Dry skin is usually dehydrated and reacts poorly to water. Note: we can contribute to dry skin ourselves through insufficient hydration and poor care!

This skin type has too many oil-producing sebaceous glands. Excess lipids clog the glands, which leads to the formation of blackheads and pimples. These problems mainly concern young people, because the overproduction of sebum slows down with age. The good news is that oily skin ages more slowly.

Many people with oily skin avoid using any creams at all costs. However, this is a mistake because every skin needs hydration. The skin, defending itself against moisture loss, produces even more sebum and the circle closes.
