How do you determine what skin type you are?

How do you determine what skin type you are and any tips n tricks for that kind of skin type?|||Faith,





Chances are if you don%26#039;t know, you are normal. I don%26#039;t know where people are getting the 3 -5 hours thing, but after within 20 minutes of cleansing if you find yourself shiny all over you have oily skin (if you have oily skin, you generally know, because it is very frustrating..hard to keep make-up on, etc). If you only become slightly shiny in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) you are combination.





If your skin feels tight, itchy uncomfortable and or has some flaking, you have dry skin (once again, it is uncomfortable and therefore you would know).





If it is NEITHER oily nor dry, you have normal skin. (It does not feel oily after 5 hours?! And a person with %26quot;mature%26quot; skin has nothing to do with never feeling oily, it means you are getting older and losing elasticity)





Most cosmetic lines make a skin care regimen for different types of skin. (Arbonne actually makes a self-adjusting formula that works for dry to oily by using nanosphere technology). Basically you want to do 4 things:





1. Cleanse to remove dirt, make-up and oil


2. Tone to remove excess residue from cleasing and balance pH


3 Moisturize to protect and keep skin supple (seperate one for eyes)


4. Treatments such as scrubs and masques remove dead cells and clean out pores.





For people under 30 I recommend Arbonne%26#039;s Intelligence line:

For 30 and over I recommend Nutrimin C RE9 Anti-aging:

oily = your face begins to shine about at least 5 mins after washing


combination = your t-zone is oily, cheeks aren%26#039;t


dry = self explanatory


sensitive = you get irritated with most of the products





just carefully see which type your face belongs to|||What is the condition of your skin throughout the day? Does it tend to be dry and tight, or greasy and acne-prone? Its it a combination of the two? Is it sensitive? If it%26#039;s one extreme or the other, you usually want to balance it out-i.e, moisturize dry skin, or use oil-absorbing and/or acne fighting products for acne-prone. If it%26#039;s normal, you probably need nothing more than a basic skin regimen.|||you should try to go to a makeup artist and see what they say hope i helped bye.|||Your skin changes with the season and tends to get dryer as you get older however it is very different for each person.

the areas that are flaky underneath and oily on top need exfoliated (probably a couple of times if you are a teen).
