Types of skin

There are 5 basic skin care types: oily combination (normal), sensitive, dry and sun-damaged. Your skin type is determined by how much -- or how little -- oil your skin produces. Genes, diet, stress level, hormonal fluctuations, medication and even your skincare regimen all determine how much oil your skin produces.

 

Types of skin

1. Oily Skin
2. Combination/Normal Skin
3. Dry Skin
4. Sensitive Skin
5. Aging or Sun-damaged Skin

Types Of Skin Explained:

1. Oily Skin: Oily skin is shiny, thick
and dull colored. Often a chronically
oily skin has coarse pores and pimples
and other embarrassing blemishes. It is
prone to blackheads. In this type of skin,
the oil producing sebaceous glands are
overactive and produce more oil than is
needed. The oil oozes and gives the skin
a greasy shine. The pores are enlarged
and the skin has a coarse look.

2. Combination/Normal Skin: When you
have some areas of dry skin and other areas
of oily skin, it's considered combination.
Most times you probably have either
normal or dry skin on most of your face,
and your oily skin is concentrated on the
T-zone, which is across the forehead, down
the nose and chin. In some areas of your face
it can feel tight after washing; it can be flaky,
look dull or feel rough then that means you
have combination skin.

3. Dry Skin: it is also known as Xeroderma
or xerodermia. Dry skin is an uncomfortable
condition marked by scaling, itching, and
cracking. It can occur for many reasons.
Some people have naturally dry skin and may
experience frequent symptoms. However, even
the oiliest skin can get dry at times.

4. Sensitive Skin: Sensitive skin, also known
a sensate skin, is an electronic sensing skin
placed on the surface of a machine such as a
robotic arm. This are skin that responds fast
to stimulus.

5. Aging or Sun-damaged Skin: this is the type
of skin caused by old age and high exposure of
the skin to the sun.
