SKIN ANALYSIS

SKIN TYPE AND CARE

Step 1
Wash your face to remove make-up. Wash with a gentle
cleanser and pat dry. This cleans away oils and dirt that may
have accumulated during your day, giving your
skin a fresh start. Do not over wash though.
Step 2
Wait for 30mins. During this time, your skin should return to its
natural state, the characteristics of which will determine your
skin type. Act normally and don't touch your face.
Step 3
Dab your face with a tissue. Pay attention to the 'T-zone'-the
area of your forehead and nose.
Skin types are:-
• Normal
• Oily;
• Dry and Combination.

1. Normal skin:
   not too dry, not too oily. It has no or few imperfections, no severe
   sensitivity, barely visible pores, a radiant complexion.

2. Dry skin type:
   Almost visible pores, dull, rough complexion, red patches, less elasticity
   and more visible lines. When expose to drying factors, skin can crack,
   peel or become itchy, irritated or inflamed. If your skin is dry, it can
   become rough
   and scaly, especially on the backs of your hands, arms and legs. Dry skin
   may feel taut or show flakes of dead skin. It is associated with small
   pores. Moisturizing is important for this skin type.

3. Oily skin: Oily skin is characterized by the grease on the
   tissue. It is also
   common for a person with oily skin to have large pores and a
   shine. Enlarge pores,
   dull or shiny and thick complexion, black heads, pimples or
   other blemishes.

4. Combination skin: can be dry or normal in some
   areas and oily else where such
   as the T-zone (nose, forehead and chin). It can produce
   overly dilated pores, black
   heads and shiny skin. Knowing your skin type goes a
   long way to dictate the kind
   of products and care required the skin. Combination
   skin is most common. It
   exhibits traits of all three of the above skin types.
   Usually, the skin is oily in the T-zone and normal to dry
   elsewhere
