Types of Skin - How to Find the skin type?

Normally, your skin will fall into one of the category of Normal, Dry and Greasy.

Normal Skin Type

If the skin smooth, supple and elastic, it is normal. A healthy, normal skin is unblemished, velvety, smooth and supple, with no enlarged pores or flaky dead cells.

Dry Skin Type

A flaky and dull skin is generally dry with a tendency towards broken veins, flakiness and dry patches and it needs lot of care. If neglected, it turns into wrinkles and lines.

Greasy or Oily Skin Type

A greasy skin often has blackheads and is prone to acne and several disorders.

Most people have a combination skin type . In this type of skin, the middle of the face (patches on the forehead, nose and the chin) is shiny with a dilated and coarse texture. The rest of the face has either normal or dry skin.

Fitness Tip

The colored part of the eye, the iris, gets its appearance from the number of pigments it contains-brown eyes have significantly more pigments than blue eyes.

Beauty Tip

Make sure your lips have been moisturised, and foundation/powder applied. Outline your shape with a lip pencil in natural or a toning shade to the chosen lipcolour. Apply lipstick with a lipbrush. Then blot by kissing a tissue held between the lips, then reapply more colour. Choose colour tones in either warm or cool tones to suit your complexion.
