Before doing skin care, how to judge the dry and wet type of your skin?
A simple way to identify the skin type:
Take a soft sanitary towel or blotting paper and wipe it repeatedly on both sides of the nose or forehead to wipe off the sebum secreted from the skin as much as possible. If the paper towel is full of gloss, it means that the secretory function of the sebaceous glands is relatively strong and belongs to oily skin; Dry skin is when there is no gloss on the paper towel and the color is lighter. Between the two, it belongs to neutral skin; If the oil content in different parts is different, it belongs to mixed skin.
Extended information:
According to the amount of sebum secretion, skin can be divided into dry, oily, neutral and mixed types. Here is a detailed introduction to how to judge your skin type.
1. What is dry skin
The pores of the skin are not obvious, the sebum secretion is small and even, and there is no greasy feeling. The water content in the stratum corneum is small, often below 1%, so this kind of skin is not soft and smooth enough, and lacks the elasticity and luster it deserves; The skin color is white or red in white, and the skin is delicate and tender, which can't stand the wind and the sun. It often changes due to environmental changes and emotional fluctuations, and it is prone to dandruff and chapping in winter.
2. What is oily skin
Oily skin has large pores, more sebum secretion, shiny skin surface and heavy greasy feeling. It is easy to grow acne and pimples, but it is not easy to wrinkle, and it can withstand various stimuli, and it is not easy to appear aging. Skin color is often light brown, brown, or even copper.
People with oily skin should pay special attention to the cleanliness of the skin, and wash off excessive oil with soap before beauty treatment. After washing, it is not advisable to apply cosmetics with more oil to prevent oil from blocking pores and inducing acne and folliculitis.
3. What is neutral skin
This kind of skin has moderate sebum secretion, neither coarse nor fine skin, nor is it sensitive to external stimuli. Normal skin is suitable for using soap, and also suitable for applying various creams.
4. What is mixed skin
Some people have neutral skin on the cheeks, and sebum secretion is more on the forehead, nose and jaw, which is oily skin. This kind of skin should be treated as oily skin. Because these prominent parts of the face are easy to attach dirt, acne and folliculitis are prone to occur.
5. What is allergic skin
Most allergic skin has large pores and excessive sebum secretion. After using cosmetics, it often causes skin allergies, redness and itching, and individual reactions sting violently. Some people have no adverse phenomena when they first come into contact with some cosmetics, and it takes some time before they have an allergic reaction.
