Let’s look in detail what the skin types are and how to care for these skin types.

Normal Skin Type - Baby skin is often described as normal skin. It is smooth and feels you are gliding your hand over a cloud or butter.

Normal Skin Care - If you have normal skin, then it is best to leave it normal if you must use makeup, try using light makeup.

Dry Skin Type - Most of us come under this category. Our skin tends to be dry and this leads to the skin feeling taut even after a wash.

Dry Skin Care - If you have dry skin, then it is best to ensure that the skin is constantly hydrated and moisturised. Do not wash dry skin with cold water and soap.

Oily Skin Type - Oily skin is defined as skin which is shiny, thick and coarse. Pores are clearly visible which then lead to blackhead and pimples.

Oily Skin Care - Those with oily skin need to ensure that they only use cosmetics which are specifically made for oily skin.

Combination Skin Type - Many of us have combination skin. This means that part of the face may be dry and the other part may be oily.

Combination Skin Care - If you have combination skin, there are ways to look after it and ensure you balance both the skin types but at the same time look good and achieve beautiful skin. Use a mild cleaner on your entire face. Also ensure you use a good moisturiser on the dry areas of the face. Look for products which contain ingredients which can normalize the skin. This will remove the dead skin cells and give you a younger appearance.
