This type of skin is often very sensitive and may sting when highly perfumed preparations are used
It may have flaky patches and a dull lifeless appearance.
A dry skin sometimes looks paper fine.
It will show signs of early ageing (i.e. wrinkles) if it is not been cared for correctly.
Make-up may look floury if a moisture cream is not used.
Oily skin
This is a tough skin, and so is often neglected. In teenagers it is often running with oil most of the time, but this decreases as time goes by.
This skin may have a few spots and blackheads and almost certainly it will have some enlarged pores, which look like little holes in the skin.
Make up will not show for long, as the oil will soon shine through.
An oily skin can be helped if you remember this little rhyme:
Don't put grease on an oily skin,
'cause it clogs up the pores, keeping oil and dirt in!
Normal skin
A normal skin is the most rare of all skins, unfortunately
It is smooth and has good colour. it looks lovely with or without make-up.
In a way this can be a disadvantage, because there is a tendency to forget this skin needs to be nourished and protected in order to preserve its bloom.
Combination skin
This is a mixture of the skin types and is the most common among British girls and women. It consists of:
Oily and Dry
or
Oily and Normal,
or
Normal and Dry
The oily part is usually the centre panel- Chin, nose and sometimes the centre of the forehead.
This kind of skin must be treated as two different skin types, which is rather annoying. Never mind; it is well worth the effort.
Acne
This is a skin condition that can cause a lot of distress, to teenagers in particular.
It consists of spots, blackheads and whiteheads.
It is usually made worse than it need be through eating the wrong types of food.
In the meantime, remember that you must never pick your spots. Only touch your face with clean hands.
