Skin types and care:

Every person’s skin is unique, but there are a few common skin types. Skin is generally classified into five categories says Dr. Manju Keshari, a dermatologist of KEMPS Skin Clinic, Ghaziabad. Understanding the different types of skin will give you a better idea of how to treat acne breakouts and reveal smooth, clear skin. 

1. Normal Skin Type 
2. Dry Skin Type
3. Oily Skin Type
4. Combination Skin
5. Sensitive Skin

Normal Skin Type

Normal skin type has a healthy glow with a fine texture and no open pores. It rarely develops spots or shiny areas. It is soft, smooth, pimple-free, clean and without flaky areas. In fact, it's quite rare to find a normal skin, especially as all skins tend to become slightly drier as you get older.

Dry Skin

Dry skin can feel tight throughout the day, and may experience noticeable flaking. Dry skin is largely due to genetics, environmental factors such as lifestyle & diet, hormonal changes, and climate. Dehydration is also a leading cause of dry skin, so drinking plenty of water and avoiding diuretics like alcohol and caffeine can make a significant difference in how your skin feels and looks.

Oily Skin

Oily skin has an enlarged pore and produces more than enough oil which may cause blackheads and pimples. You can care for your shiny pores in a way that works with your skin’s natural, not against it, so your problem skin will be clear, more even-toned, healthy and balanced.

Combination Skin:

Combination skin is also very common and it is somewhat difficult to take care of. When you have a combination skin, your skin may be more oily than dry or it may be more dry than oily. So first you have to check which is more dominant. Whether it is oilier or drier, the T-zone (your forehead, nose and the chin) will always be oily. People with combination skin have a shiny skin and visible pores.

Sensitive Skin

Please note that you may have sensitive skin and normal, oily, or dry. If your skin has allergic reactions to beauty products and is usually sensitive to the sun, wind, and cold weather, it is sensitive. Sensitivity can show up in rash, redness, inflammation, acne, and dilated capillaries. Sensitive skin requires sensitive care – it needs to be treated gently, first and foremost, by avoiding irritating products.
