DETERMINATION OF YOUR SKIN TYPE
Skin types are different. Each needs different care. Due to the incorrect knowledge of the skin type, the wrong cosmetic products are chosen to break the skin barrier and cause pimples, blackheads, pores, etc. can cause such problems. Therefore, determining the skin type is of great importance.
1. Normal skin type;
The skin feels smooth.
No signs of peeling or greasiness.
This skin type is neither too dry nor too oily. It has a normal texture and no defects. It has a clean, soft appearance and does not need special care.
With the right skincare products, you can keep your skin looking healthy, smooth, and hydrated.
2. Mixed (in other words, karma) skin type;
Your skin usually has an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and it's normal for the rest to be dry.
Oily areas may have enlarged pores, breakouts, and blackheads.
Depending on the location, the distribution of sebaceous and sweat glands is not homogeneous, so it presents the characteristics of both dry and oily skin. The area with more oil is usually the T-zone, and the skin on the cheeks is normal or dry.
By choosing the right products, you can have more balanced, smooth, and clear-looking skin.
3. Oily skin type;
Your skin looks shiny and may feel sticky to the touch.
Acne is no surprise to you.
Oily skin has a porous and shiny appearance. It is caused by the sebaceous glands producing too much oil and is usually caused by genetics or hormones. It is common in young people and teenagers under the age of 30, and acne is usually associated with oily skin.
Choosing the right skincare products will balance your skin and help it look smoother. For oily skin, it is important to avoid harsh emollients.
4. Sensitive skin type;
Your skin reacts more to stimuli that normal skin does not react to.
You have difficulties when choosing cosmetic products.
It is sensitive skin, usually accompanied by uncomfortable sensations such as heat, tightness, redness, or itching. This type of skin loses its barrier (or protective) function, making it easier for microorganisms and irritants to enter it, increasing the likelihood of infection and allergic reactions. It is a delicate skin that needs more care to fight dryness, roughness, and normal appearance.
5. Dry skin type
Your skin feels tight, and thirsty and may have scaly areas.
In many cases, external factors such as weather, low humidity, and hot water cause your skin to dry out and are usually temporary. But for some people, it can happen more often and be a lifelong condition. Dry skin cracks, making it more exposed to bacteria, which, while not usually serious, can lead to other skin conditions like eczema or, if not managed properly, can make you more prone to infections.
The signs and symptoms of dry skin can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as age, health conditions, or their causes. It is generally characterized by a feeling of tightness and roughness. This skin type can also have an ashy gray color along with flaking, itching, redness, and small cracks. Cracked skin is usually seen on very dry skin and in more severe cases can lead to small cracks that can be deeper and even bleed.
The right skin care products will nourish your skin, restore the skin's critical barrier, and prevent moisture loss.
6. Red spots
There are many dermatological causes and conditions for red spots or rashes, including infections, heat, allergens, immune system disorders, and medications.
7. Skin moles
Moles are dark spots or spots on the skin that usually appear during childhood and adolescence. They are caused by groups of pigmented cells. Generally, they are harmless, but if they change in size, shape, or color, itch or bleed, it is best to have them checked by a dermatologist, as some can become cancerous.
Can your skin type change?
Here's where things get a little more complicated - your skin type can (and probably will) change at some point. For example, it's common to have oily or blemish-prone skin when you're a teenager. But that doesn't mean you'll have oily skin forever. As you age, your skin dries out. That's why it's not unusual to have oily skin when you're young and drier skin as you age.
Other factors, such as the climate where you live, can also affect your skin type: Hot weather and humidity can be associated with oilier skin, while cold, dry weather is often associated with dryness.
