Skin Analysis (Make Up)

Normal skin

Analysis

comfortable-feeling, smooth, even texture with small pores

cheeks are the driest area, but not excessive

may experience som shine and larger pores on the forehead, nose or chin

water and oil content in this skin is balanced

Skincare

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.

 

Dry/ Extra Dry
Analysis 

Feels tight after washing
May look dry or flaky
Feels rough and uneven; dehydrated
May be sensitive
Pores are small-almost invisible
Shows fine lines faster than other skin types

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

Analysis

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

May have large, visible pores

Frequent breakouts

Few signs of aging, such as fine lines

 

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 an alcohol-free astringent to removeexcess oil. 

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

 

Sensitive Skin
Analysis

Can range from dry to oily
Easily irritated by cosmetics, moisturizers,
and cleansers

Sensitive and prone to redness
Itchy or blotchy

Skincare
Sensitive skin requires mild, nonpertumed cleansing products.

Use an alcohol-free toner formulated for sensitive skin.

Also, use cleansers and moisturizers specifically formulated for this type of skin.

 

Combination Skin
Analysis

Oily through the T-zone
Dry cheeks or spot dehydration
Larger pores on the forehead, nose, and chin

Skincare
Care for this skin type requires regular cleansing toning, and moisturizing of the oily areas and the use of a milder cleanser and denser moisturizer for
the dry areas. Moisturising products containing
AHA will benefit this skin type.

 

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.
