Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Good Morning! Determining Your Skin Type The beginning of any skin regime should be the determination of your skin type. This is helpful for choosing the proper skin care to be used. Normal Skin You have normal skin if your skin... * Appears soft clear and supple * Has uniform texture and pigment * Has few or no blemishes, no oily sheen or dry spots. * Is not overly sensitive to the sun Dry Skin You have dry skin if... * Your T-zone and cheeks are dry. * Your skin appears taunt, fragile, dull occasional flaking especially on the cheeks. * Your pores are fine. * Lines appear early around the eyes mouth and forehead. * Blemishes are rarely a problem * Extremely sensitive to sun and cold. Note: this skin type can occur at any age but is seen mostly in women over 30. Oily Skin You have oily skin if... * Has an oily sheen especially in the T-zone * Has enlarged pores especially in the nose, chin and cheek area * Feels soft and supple * Has an acne blemish * Is a combination of oily and dry * Tans easily but seldom burns Problem/Combination Skin Problem skin occurs in all the skin types... *Problem, irritated or sensitive skin *includes acne, pimples, spots, open pores, blackheads *excessive redness, eczema, rashes *delicate and fine textured *may have patches of reddish veins or flaking skin.
