SKIN TYPES - Know your skin type

There are four skin types.

Normal skin - It looks clear, supple and healthy. Normal skin still needs good skin care, but requires less treatment than other skin types.
Dry skin cannot retain moisture as well as normal skin. It may flake and it is prone to wrinkles and lines.
Oily skin - There is excess oil on the surface of the skin. Oily skin often develops spots and pimples. Important skin care tips for oily skin include regular and thorough cleansing.
Combination skin - The forehead, nose and chin may be oily, and the cheeks and other areas may be dry.

Skin Care Tips

Dampen your skin very lightly with water before applying a moisturizer. This simple step can sometimes be effective in minimizing dryness that can cause sensitivity.

Be aware of perfumes and fragrances. Studies have found that perfumes can often be the cause of allergic reactions.

Pay attention to detergents used to launder your sheets, pillowcases, towel, and lingerie. Fragrance-free detergents can help prevent sensitivity.

Protect your skin after laser treatments, peels, cosmetic surgery, Retin-A, even alpha hydroxy acids by using hydrating products with antioxidants.
