What’s Your Skin Type?

Making the right choices about your skin care starts with knowing your skin type.

Different skin types are genetically determined but choosing the best skin care for your face and body is essential to care for your skin's health, slow the ageing process and look after yourself!

Your skin type can change over time. For example, younger people are more likely than older people to have a normal skin type.


Skin types vary depending upon factors such as:

• Water content, which affects your skin's comfort and elasticity
• Oil (lipid) content, which affects your skin's softness
• Sensitivity level

There are five common skin types: normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive. Blotting a clean tissue on your face in the morning is an easy way to find out your skin type.

Normal Skin Type
A normal skin type has good circulation and there will not be any trace of sebum (or oil) on the tissue. Normal skin is soft, with a smooth, even skin tone.

Normal skin is not too dry and not too oily. It has:

• No or few imperfections
• No severe sensitivity
• Barely visible pores
• A radiant complexion

Combination Skin Type
With a combination skin type oil is produced around the 'T-zone' of the  nose and forehead but not on the cheeks, mouth and eye areas. The best skin care for combination skin will involve treating each region differently.

A combination skin type can be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others, such as the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin). Many people have combination skin, which  may benefit from slightly different types of skin care in different areas.

Combination skin can produce:

• Overly dilated pores
• Blackheads
• Shiny skin

Dry Skin Type
A dry skin type has a low level of sebum and does not maintain oil easily. Dry skin is often flaky and feels tight after being wiped. Gentle cleansing and a rich protective moisturiser for dry skin is essential to control that tight, uncomfortable feeling. It may be necessary to adjust your dry skin moisturiser for the changing seasons.

 Dry skin can produce:

• Almost invisible pores
• Dull, rough complexion
• Red patches
• Less elasticity
• More visible lines

When exposed to drying factors, skin can crack, peel, or become itchy, irritated, or inflamed. If your skin is very dry, it can become rough and scaly, especially on the backs of your hands, arms, and legs.

Dry skin may be caused or made worse by:

• Genetic factors
• Aging or hormonal changes
• Weather such as wind, sun, or cold
• Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from tanning beds
• Indoor heating
• Long, hot baths and showers
• Ingredients in soaps, cosmetics, or cleansers
• Medications

Here are some tips for taking better care of dry skin:

• Take shorter showers and baths, no more than once daily.
• Use mild, gentle soaps or cleansers. Avoid deodorant soaps.
• Don't scrub while bathing or drying.
• Apply a rich moisturizer right after bathing. Ointments and creams may work better than lotions for dry skin but are often messier. Reapply as needed throughout the day.
• Use a humidifier and don't let indoor temperatures get too hot.
• Wear gloves when using cleaning agents, solvents, or household detergents.

Oily Skin Type
An oily skin type will leave blots of facial oil on the tissue, particularly from the cheeks, nose and forehead. This type of skin has overactive sebaceous glands, producing more oil than necessary. Oily skin can be caused by hereditary factors, diet, hormone levels, pregnancy, unsuitable cosmetics and stress, leading to acne flare ups and enlarged pores. It is vital to thoroughly clean the skin regularly with gentle, soap-free cleansers.

Oily skin can produce:

• Enlarged pores
• Dull or shiny, thick complexion
• Blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes

Sensitive Skin Type
Having a sensitive skin type can mean different things to different people. It can be caused by skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema or allergies. Sensitive skin can become inflamed and irritated easily. It is important to choose the right skin care for sensitive skin because many cleansers and moisturisers contain ingredients that can cause an adverse reaction.

But here is what dermatologists look for when diagnosing sensitive skin:

1. Skin reactions such as pustules, skin bumps, or skin erosion
2. Very dry skin which doesn't properly protect nerve endings in the skin
3. A tendency toward blushing and skin flushing
