Our skin can be classified into five divisions, namely normal skin, dry skin, oily skin, combination skin and sensitive skin. You may have know many methods about how to caring for your skin. Well. To own healthy skin, you have to wash it correctly, and you need products that can clean, moisturize, and protect your skin. You need to find yourself a routine for skin care, but before that you'd better find out what your skin type is. And to take special skin care process according to your skin type should be the most effective way for you to achieve healthy skin. My skin often have more oil in summer, it is a little different from other season. I have to deal with the problem of oil at first. How about you skin? How do you deal with it?

Hi I have really dry, sensitive skin (and eczema). This means that I have to be really careful about the products I use. I have found that the Simple range is perfect as it doesn't contain any perfume and is specifically designed for dry and sensitive skin. My problem is finding make-up to use as most brands react to my skin and make me look blotchy.

My face is also an oily type and I use to wash my face three times a day, I don't use soap only I use clean clear. And I don't apply any face cream, just I keep like that only. I take very good care of face as well as body.

I have sensitive skin aswell as dry skin.I think that with me having psoriasis is the case of trial and error when it comes to using things on my skin.I think that there are alot of products that you can get nowadays that they are the best on the market and that they can be used on sensitive skin,only to find out that they are the ones that irritate your skin.I just use baby oil in my bath water now as i know that it do not cause me a problem.

I start by investing in good creams that are prescribed by my dermatologist. It's great to have your skin checked first by a trusted dermatologist so that you'll know how to take care of it, maintin it and treat it in case breakouts or skin dilemmas come out. I also make sure I get enough nourishment from fruits and vegetables. Most importantly, I drink plenty of water and I do work outs.

Skin care is very important,people can tell if u take good care of yourself just by looking at your skin,poor hygiene causes skin problems, poor health shows on our skin also. best way to take care of your skin is by rehydrating, eating the right food and getting enough rest.

my face is also an oily skin type. i cleans/wash my face at least 2 times a day. Could be nice to wash it in water and soap rather than astringent. then put moisturizer at night and skin tone with foundation of Olay with SPF already.

I take very good care of my skin, because I don't want to look older than I am, and skin is a good indicator of age. So I take care of it in different ways during the day, by drinking a lot of water, eating a lot of fruits, always using sunscreen and staying out of the sun. I also wash it very carefully twice a day (now using this great new product called Clarisonic, that really works wonders!), and use a lot of moisturizer. That does it for me!

I have a combination skin and struggling for the T-zone, that it my face gets oily in the forehead and nose, and slightly dry at the cheeks and chin...unfortunately, those part with that problems is the first part that other people see when they look at me, so, I have to look for the suitable cleanser for my skin. I read somewhere that a gel based cleanser is best for oily skin. I also use more moisturizer on the dry parts of my face, and see to it that I always have oil blotting sheets in my bag to remove those oil away throughout the day.
