Whats my skin type?

Did you ever wonder what skin type you have?
Why don’t you read on where kirsten explains some of the types of skin you could have and what the telltale signs are.
Dry skin – a dry skin type generally produces less natural oils then other skin types. This may cause it to appear dull and become rough, flaky, or even scaly. It often feels tight or less elastic, noticeably dehydrated, and may be prone to showing more visible fine lines.

Oily – an oily skin type is where excess oil on the face produces a shiny or greasy appearance, pores can become clogged and enlarged, and dead skin cells may accumulate. Blackheads, pimples and other types of acne are also common with this skin type.

Sensative – a sensative skin type is more prone to react to stimulation on the skin to which normal skin has no reaction. It is a fragile skin, usually accompanied by feelings of discomfort, such as heat, tightness, redness or itching (eg. Roseaca broken capillaries, eczema, sariasis, fair skin are more sensitive then others also).

Combination – combination skin type is when we have a least two different skin types.The main different skin types of combination skin are typically Either oily or normal skin around the T-Zone area of the face. This includes the nose, forehead and chin.

Normal – normal skin type is neither dry or oily.It has regular texture, no imperfections and a clean, soft appearance, typically does not need lots of care.

So there it is. What is your skin type?
