Normal skin needs routine cleansing with a foaming cleanser, exfoliation twice a week, moisturization
with lightweight lotions, and the use of a sunscreen to keep it healthy. A diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E helps keep skin smooth and soft. Sufficient fluid intake is important to maintain hydration and rid the body of toxins.

Skincare

Dry skin requires special care. A lifestyle that includes a healthy diet with foods high in water content, such
as fruits and vegetables, and at least eight glasses of water a day keeps this skin type hydrated. Caffeine
and alcohol cause dehydration, so limit intake to two cups or glasses a day. Using richer cleansers, limiting sun exposure, and using a good moisturizer can protect your skin's natural oils. Layering different
textures of moisturizer can do wonders to hydrate the skin. Begin with lightweight face oil, and then layer
a richer cream over that. Night creams with alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) help remove the dry, dead skin while moisturizing the new. Air-conditioning and heating create dry environments. Correct this in your home by using humidifiers.

 

Oily Skin

T-zone (the forehead, nose, and chin); it is a
condition caused by overactive sebaceous, or
oil-producing, glands.

Skincare
Management of oily skin and the prevention of breakouts requires a healthy diet and a regular
skincare routine. Cleanse the face at least twice a
day to prevent dirt accumulation and to keep pores
open.

Use oil-free moisturizers to keep the
skin from overdrying.

Misleading Skin Conditions

Don't be fooled. The skin's condition can be quickly
impacted by changes in environment , health, diet,
and even current product choices for cleansing,
toning, moisturizing, or makeup. There are many skin conditions that can hide your actual skin type. Redness, dryness, or flaking can be caused
by a medical condition or medication.
