How to determine skin type and how to care for your skin

How to determine skin type? Many people don’t even know what their skin type is, and start using skin care products blindly. In fact, this is wrong. So today I will tell you how to judge your skin type. Let’s take a look~

How to determine your skin type

The method to judge by washing your face is that after cleansing your face with a strong cleansing cleanser, you will feel a tightness after wiping off the water. If the tightness disappears within 20 minutes, it is oily skin; if it disappears in about 30 minutes, it is neutral skin; and if it disappears in more than 40 minutes, it is dry skin. Under the ultraviolet observation method, neutral skin appears as large areas of light gray light blocks under the ultraviolet fluoroscopic lamp, oily skin appears as large areas of orange-yellow light blocks, and dry skin appears as large areas of light blue light blocks.

What other methods are there to judge

Face washing judgment method <br/>You can judge your skin type by washing your face. The face washing and observation method is the simplest and most commonly used method to judge skin quality. After cleansing your face with a powerful cleanser, you will feel a tightness after wiping off the moisture with a towel. If the tightness disappears within 20 minutes, it is oily skin; if it disappears in about 30 minutes, it is neutral skin; if it disappears in more than 40 minutes, it is dry skin.

Magnifying glass observation method <br/>Magnifying glass observation method is also a simple and commonly used method to determine skin type. This method can be performed right after the face washing and observation method. After the tightness of the skin disappears, use a magnifying glass to carefully observe the skin texture, pore size and sebum secretion. If the skin texture is obviously coarse, the pores are large, and the oil secretion is high after the tightness disappears, it is oily skin; if the skin texture is not obvious, the pores are small, the skin is dry and has fine creases, it is dry skin; if the skin condition is between the two, it is neutral skin.

Ultraviolet observation method <br/>Ultraviolet rays have a relatively strong penetrating power on the skin. Many beauty medical institutions use beauty X-ray lamps equipped with ultraviolet lamps to help understand the condition of the customer's skin surface and deep tissues. Under ultraviolet light, neutral skin appears as large areas of light gray, oily skin appears as large areas of orange-yellow, and dry skin appears as large areas of light blue. This skin testing method is much more scientific than the previous two methods.

Computer testing method <br/>The computer testing method of skin quality is currently a method with higher technical content and accuracy. It is understood that this method mainly "determines the skin type by testing the conductivity of the facial skin through a probe connected to a computer." Because conductivity is related to skin moisture, dry skin has low conductivity and oily skin has high conductivity.

How to take care of your skin

Wash your face gently, and it is better to choose a suitable men's facial cleanser, which can thoroughly clean the oil and dirt on your face;

Plenty of moisture and sufficient nourishment. Choose appropriate moisturizing essence and moisturizing mask to moisturize your skin and retain appropriate moisture to prevent your skin from becoming very dry. You can choose some suitable moisturizing lotion and apply it immediately after washing your face with facial cleanser, which is very helpful for skin care and preventing computer radiation;

Use eye cream or eye mask to remove dark circles. Sitting next to the computer frequently and facing computer radiation will cause dark circles under the eyes over time. Using eye cream can effectively resist computer radiation! Now there are many eye creams and eye masks that have whitening and moisturizing effects. When applying eye cream, combine it with some gentle eye massage to soothe the invasion of dark circles, relieve eye fatigue, and moisturize the skin around the eyes.
