All about different skin types
- 3 min reading time
At Boozyshop we have a wide selection of skincare , so much so that I understand that you sometimes lose track. The most important thing with skincare is that the product suits your skin type and that it solves any skin problems you may have. But how do you know what kind of skin type you have? Don't worry, I'll be happy to explain that to you!
What skin types are there?
Your skin type is determined by two factors: genetic predisposition and the condition of your skin. You (unfortunately) have no influence on your genetic predisposition, but you can influence the condition of your skin. This is determined by hormones, nutrition, climate and stress. There are five different skin types, namely:
- Normal skin
- Dry skin
- Oily skin
- Combination skin
- Sensitive skin
What is my skin type?
Now of course the big question is, what is my skin type? Once you know this, you can shop for the right skincare much more targeted! I would like to explain the different skin types for you below:
Normal skin
We speak of normal skin when the complexion of your skin is even without spots and your pores are small. You have no shiny or dry spots on your skin but a healthy glow.
Dry skin
You have dry skin when your pores are barely visible to the naked eye and your skin feels uncomfortable. You often suffer from "tight" skin and there are dry spots with sometimes flaking on your face.
Oily skin
Oily skin is the exact opposite of dry skin. Your pores are clearly visible because they are often much coarser than with normal skin. You suffer from a greasy layer over your skin, especially the T-zone is often greasy. In addition, with oily skin you also suffer more often from pimples and blackheads.
Combination skin
Do you suffer from dry and oily areas on your skin? There is a good chance that you have a combination skin . You often suffer from an oily T-zone but the rest of your face contains dry spots.
Sensitive skin
Does your skin react quickly and sometimes violently to sun/UV rays, changes in the weather, perfume, or certain skincare products? Then you most likely have sensitive skin . Sensitive skin reacts violently to the above influences and sometimes has a tight and burning feeling.
Do external factors affect my skin?
Yes, definitely! Did you know that heating and air conditioning affect your skin? A room where the heating and/or air conditioning is always on has a drying effect on your skin. Open a window every now and then, that is good for your health, skin and (nice bonus ;-)) concentration. Then there is also nutrition, chemical influences of certain products, lifestyle, stress... Those are quite a few factors to take into account you probably think! When you suffer from skin problems, it is indeed important to consider when it started and what the cause could possibly be. Then you can work on it and also use skincare that is suitable for your skin (condition).
