SKIN TYPES AND ITS BEAUTIFICATION

The main aim in getting beautiful skin is by figuring out your skin type and choosing the appropriate products without facing any difficulties. There are four types of skin which includes oily,combination, dry/sensitive and normal skin.

Oily skin type: Your face feels and looks moist and shiny(especially at midday when oil is at its peak). You tend to have clogged pores, and your skin is pond to both inflammatory acne (pimples) and non inflammatory (blackheads)which pop all over. Your makeup foundation tend to last for few hours.

Normal skin type: Your skin is smooth and radiant because it reflects light evenly. This particular skin complexion is balanced i.e its not too dry or oily and breakouts are not common. It is a type of skin that can use any product with or without any form of irritation or reaction.

good elasticity.
