What skin type do you belong to? Find your own skin care plan

Many students are very concerned about skin care, but they don’t know what skin type they have. People with combination skin may think their skin is dry or oily, or they may mistake the small red spots from allergies for acne. Repeatedly taking care of the skin in the wrong way can easily cause damage to the skin and they may also blame the skin care products.

What skin type are you?

First, dry skin

Dry skin itself secretes less oil, has a thin and fragile epidermis, and the skin’s own ability to lock in moisture and protect itself is “innately insufficient”, so moisture is easily lost. In addition, the air is dry in autumn and winter, and the skin is naturally dehydrated, so it is necessary to desperately replenish moisture to the skin.

Dehydrated skin is the key to wrinkles, and people with dry skin age more quickly than people with other skin types. Therefore, you can appropriately choose skin care products with more oil. While quenching the skin's thirst, they can also strengthen the skin's hydrolipid film and improve its own water-locking ability. This way, the moisturizing ingredients will be firmly locked in the skin, fundamentally solving the problem of skin dehydration.

Oily skin

Many people think that oily skin will not become dry in autumn and winter, which is a wrong understanding. Oily skin contains more oil but very little water, so it also needs hydration and moisturizing to adjust the water and oil balance. You can use a moisturizing spray to balance the water and oil on your face.

Nighttime is the time when sebaceous glands are most active. After skin care, you must use a cream that regulates oil to form a protective film on the skin surface and replenish moisture to the skin. You can choose a refreshing lotion or gel-like cream.

Oily skin needs to pay attention to regular exfoliation, but some skin is more sensitive and fragile in winter, so the frequency of exfoliation can be reduced appropriately to allow skin care products to penetrate deeper into the skin.

The third is sensitive skin

With the arrival of cold air, the external temperature, humidity, ultraviolet rays, etc. have changed. Sensitive skin is extremely sensitive and fragile during the transition period of seasons, so you must be cautious when choosing skin care products, and try to choose gentle and non-irritating products for sensitive skin.

The focus of skin care can be on moisturizing to enhance the skin's resistance, because dryness will further aggravate skin sensitivity.

Finally, combination skin

When caring for combination skin, pay attention to oil control in the T-zone, avoid using products with strong oil content, and increase hydration and moisturizing in other areas. You can choose a mild facial cleanser. If the T-zone has abundant oil secretion, you can apply more circles. Use a more refreshing moisturizer before going to bed.
