Types of Skin – Dry Skin & Oily Skin
There are scores of people, but nature has not gifted them all with the same skin type. There are several different types of skins that we may come across, of which some broad categories are:
- Oily skin
- Dry Skin
- Hype-sensitive Skin
- Combination Skin and finally
- Normal Skin
I have listed below the general characteristics of each skin type, so that you may have a general idea what type of skin type you wear 
Oily Skin Type
Unique Characteristics
- Feels supple and elastic, even after washing
- Looks shiny
- Often Blackheads and/or spots present
- Can look sluggish and sallow
- Hair is often oily, too (as a result of oily skin)
Oily skin care: When Oily skin is properly looked after, can be an advantage. This type of skin stays elastic and firm for longer and is less prone to wrinkles and fine lines than other skin types. However, it needs special attention to keep it free from spots and baclkheads,and come sometimes look rather dull and yellow.
Dry Skin Type
Unique Characteristics
- Feels tight after washing
- Feels dry, scaly or flaky to the touch
- Can look grey or pinkish
- Reacts adversely to harsh products
Dry skin care: This type of skin which is dry, is clear of spots and in younger years is fairly porblem-free. Because it is not well lubricated naturally, it ages more quickly, so extra care must be taken with moisturizers. Its a good idea to use a sunscreen all year around to reduce the harsh, drying effects of ultraviolet rays.
Thats for today, got to go – shall post on other types of skin tomorrow.
