Have You Figured Out Your Skin Type? *Basics*

Some people may know the answer to this without questioning it, and others may not even know what skin type means. If you think you know, or don't know at all, hopefully I can give you some useful criteria that will lead you in the right direction! Skin type is important to know because there are so many acne remedies and products specialized for specific skin types. So let's get started:

• NORMAL: No signs of flaking skin or oiliness. The complexion should look normal and soft. 
• OILY: If you have oily skin, then your t-zone will normally look shiny and your pores might look more enlarged then normal. 
• DRY: This should be pretty straightforward. Your skin should feel tight and dry. Your skin may flake or be red in some areas due to dryness. Moisturizing is so important for this skin type!
• COMBINATION: A mix of all these above. Oily in some areas, dry in some areas. Most common skin type.

Not quite done yet! Your skin can additionally fall under 2 more categories: SENSITIVE and ACNE-PRONE. With sensitive skin, you have to be careful with what you put on your face because it can cause a reaction. For acne-prone, well, you are prone to acne. Technology has been so awesome nowadays where you can actually take a skin type quiz online and it can direct you to products best for your skin. How awesome! So simple.

Throughout the future of this blog, I will try and post specific tips for people with a specific skin type so everyone gets the attention they need. :)
