You can know your skin type

Tweet

Friends, skins are classified as, Normal, and Dry, Oily. It will be really difficult for you to choose any skin products without knowing its type. A simple test at home can tell you your skin type, wash your face with mild soap or face wash. Pat it dry with a soft towel. Now wait for an hour and do not apply anything on your face. Do not go in very hot or cold climate. For better result you should stay at home. Take tissue paper and press on different spots of your face. For better results use separate piece of tissue onto each area of your face like chin, cheeks, forehead, nose. After few minutes examine each tissue and look for any residue on it. If the tissue will stick to your face and have oily spots, this shows you have ‘oily skin’, your face will look shiny specially nose, chicks and forehead. If the tissue will not stick and will not have any oily spots, this indicates you have ‘dry skin. After washing your face, you feel stretched skin i.e. tight and dryness in skin is observed. If the tissue sticks in your T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), you have ‘combination skin’. It is oily as well as dry mix. T-zone part of face is oily and rest is dry. Normal Skin – if your face looks neither too oily nor too dry, you have ‘normal skin’; the skin looks very bright and is blemish free. Hardly 20% of women have this skin type. Please avoid testing your skin when you have applied oil to your hair because oil gets spread over the forehead and it may give wrong impression as oily skin. So test your skin when your hair is oil-free. Hope you find this useful. What kind of skin you have? Do you apply any cosmetics or creams?Mine is normal skin, I wash face with a paste of turmeric and sandal wood oil, no chemicals, no face wash cream, and it glows like pure gold. I apply good quality talcum powder only. Please respond and share your views. Kalyani ‘Namastey’. . God bless you to enjoy a lucky day ahead.
