Skin care: how a “berry” not to be changed into a “dried fruit?"

Author: Виктория Мазур

My first visit to a cosmetologist very nearly crowded with tragedy.

 

Not for me - for a cosmetologist, whose heart was nearly broken after my saying that I cared of my face washing it with soap and carefully putting children's cream after that. And that is in 22 years!

- My God! Well, you are not a child to use children's cream, and your face is not a fusty child's bottom. You are a young woman, and chose skin care means, be so kind, the proper once! - the doctor reprimanded me in every sense of the word.

 

Identifying skin type

It is not too difficult to do it. It is better to do it, of course, in a cosmetologist’s cabinet, but it is also possible at home. To look attentively at yourself will be enough.

We will begin with the most widespread type - mixed or as it is also named combined. The skin of the mixed type (for example, dry and at the same time sensitive, or dry and at the same time oily) is found approximately in every fifth woman. Such type of skin is easily determined due to brilliance in the so urgent T-shaped area (nose, forehead and chin), these areas, as a rule, quickly become oily, or vice versa they are peeled, when other areas remain normal at that time.

Dry skin is usually thin, transparent, slightly constricted and it often peels or reddens. Wrinkles appear easily on such skin. It is possible to conduct a small light test with this skin. Press with effort on your skin by a finger, hold a little bit for some time and release the finger. If a spot does not disappear for a long time, it means that your skin is dry.

Oily skin is noteworthy that it is often glossy, and usually it has dilated pores. Take a clean mirror and put it to your nose, forehead, and cheeks. If there are tracks on the mirror - you have oily skin.

If you have smooth, elastic and velvety by touch skin – you are lucky, you have normal skin type, most rarely found at present.

But it does not mean that it is possible now to forget about the care and fold your hands. Because the most ideal skin in certain conditions can be changed into a problem skin.

Moreover, there is sensitive skin. It can combine with any afore-mentioned model. Such skin usually often reddens, peels, and easily irritated due to unfavorable external influences.
