Skin types

Well, pretty much im done with my Chinese.

But sad thing is, i wrote out of point for my formal letter. Hope it doesnt pull me down and pls at least a 8 or 9!!

Paper 2 was awesome and i didnt fall asleep. The time span was just enough to check my paper and complete all the questions.

Hall was as cold as usual but i brought my jacket so it kept me warm for a bit.

Next!

Since im so free! I shall do another beauty post.

Remember when i said i would share a post on Skin types?

Take a skin test.

Wash your face, pat it dry, then take a few pieces of rice paper or lens-cleaning tissue paper and press on different spots on your face. If your skin is oily, the paper will stick, pick up oily spots and become translucent. If the paper doesn't stick or pick up any oily spots, your skin is dry. If it sticks in your t-zone (forehead, nose and chin) then you have combination (or normal) skin. About 70 percent of women have combination skin.

Here are the five different skin types and their characteristics.

Oily/Acne Prone Skin

Check?

Oily skin tends to shiny with enlarged pores, and is prone to blackheads and blemishes. You might experience some tightness.

Skincare.

For those with oily and acne prone skin, things can get a little tough.Make sure you use a lightweight cleanser and an oil-free, water-based moisturizer. Toner is a very important part of your routine as well- make sure you apply it especially on the T-zone.(Nose and the space between your eyes ).

Dry skin

Check?

Dry skin feels tight, especially after cleansing. You have a tendency towards fine wrinkles, flaking and red patches. In women of color, skin may appear ashy or dull from dead skin buildup.

Skincare.

Dry skin is affected by the climate, so make sure that you always moisturize. Start off by washing the face with a soap-free emollient cleanser and use a creamy moisturizer during the day and at night. Make sure you don’t scrub your face too hard-use gentle motions as to not irritate the parched skin

Combination Skin

Check?

This skin type has medium pores, a smooth and even texture, good circulation, healthy color, may tend toward dryness on the cheeks while being oily in the t-zone.

Skin care.

Combination skin deals with both dry and oily skin. The oily part is usually around the T-zone so make sure you use a good toner around that area. Moisturizer the rest of your skin with a rich cream.I have combination skin type.

Sensitive Skin

Check?

Sensitive skin tends to be thin, delicate with fine pores. It flushes easily, is prone to broken capillaries, is frequently allergic and can be rashy.

Skincare.

Be sure to use unscented, hypoallergenic products on your face, as your skin is very susceptible to infections, redness and inflammation. Be careful in extreme climate changes and with spicy food especially. Avoid using hot water when cleansing. Use at least an SPF 30 on both your face and your body.
