Taking care of skin can be done in two ways. The first way of taking care is by external methods. The second way is by consuming right type of food. Skin care by external methods depends on the skin type. There are three basic skin types oily, dry and combination
Oily Skin: Oily skin is usually shiny in appearance due to oil present in skin layer. Therefore it attracts more dust, which tends to stick to the skin. Settling of dust on the skin can result to clogging of pores, acne and other skin related problems. As skin is highly susceptible to outside dirt, appropriate care needs to be taken in order to maintain a healthy skin. Oily skin does not require moisturizing as it contains oil.
Dry Skin: Dry skin appears dry and sometimes tends to flake; it often feels tight after washing. This happens due to lack of oil in the skin layer. This is the key reason why it tightens up as the skin tends to react to weather changes. Dust does not tend to settle on dry skin as it is not oily. So people with dry skin are not prone to problems like clogging of pores and acne. As the oil contain in the skin layer is less, moisturizing is required.
Combination Skin: A combination Skin is a mix of oily and dry skin. Some parts tend to have more oil in skin layer and appear shinier, while other is dry and flakes as it has less oil. Majority of people have a oily center around their T-zone, which is across their forehead, nose and chin. The dry area includes the cheeks, neck and area around their eyes. So in this skin type you tend to face problems of both oily and dry skin type. Proper cleaning of oily part with water is requires while for the dry area moisturizing is required.
Different types of skin treatments are available as per the skin type. Daily skin care routine like simple cleansing toning and moisturizing can result to a healthy looking skin. People often need to identify their skin type first and then accordingly use products on their skin.
