Skincare, An Investment For Healthy Skin

Taking care of your skin daily has a lot to do more with your confidence. If you look good, you feel good, which is why skincare is important in our life.

Why is Skincare Important?

Our body changes every day, and along with that, our skin changes too. Our body sheds up to

30,000-40, 000 dead skin cells every day. If these dead cells are not taken off from the skin, it may lead to various infections. Skin is the outer layer of our body, more like a barrier, and it is important to make sure that this barrier stays intact. Being the largest organ of our body, you must take care of it. Simply washing your face in the morning and evening could make a difference.

Your skin starts to show the signs of aging in your 20’s itself. The fine line under your eyes, dryness, losing its elasticity, etc. That is why adding skincare to your regime is important. But the real question is, how to start?

All you need is to find the perfect skincare for your skin. As simple it sounds, it isn’t. It is found to be efficient that taking care of your skin at an early age could help you get that glowy and healthy skin later. There are a lot of products on the market but which one should you choose? In your early 20’s, this time allows you to know what your skin needs.

Every skin type is different, and it needs to be treated that way.

Here are some different types of skin that could help you create your skincare routine.

 

Normal Skin Type

Normal skin is a widely common skin type. People who have normal skin types have nothing to worry about. But skipping skincare could be questionable. This type of skin does not suffer as much other skin types do. Normal skin may have some imperfection to work on. This type of skin has a proper balance of moisture in the skin. Is neither too oily nor too dry. It is also called a “balanced skin type.”

People with normal skin are not afraid to try new products since their skin is not that sensitive. However, the wrong use of products can take away the privilege of having normal skin.

You can follow these steps to keep your skin healthy.

1. Water is a must throughout the day.
2. Do not forget to put on moisturizer.
3. Before going out, a daily dose of SPF is necessary.

Oily Skin Type

Oily skin types tend to get breakouts often. Unnecessary oils on your skin get collected deep into your pores, which makes your pores appear larger. If these pores are not unclogged, it might lead to horrible pimples, which may take longer than usual to heal.

Oily skin can change according to the weather and change in water. People with oily skin should pick products accordingly.

Here are a few tips to take care of oily skin.

1. Drink 6 cups of water daily.
2. Avoid going out when it is too hot.
3. After the gym or exercise, do not forget to wash your face thoroughly. (Using cold water)
4. Use water-based products.

Dry Skin

Dry skin is mostly caused because of too much heat or too much cold. People with dry skin have dull and rough complexion. There can be chances of getting a skin infection or chronic diseases if it is not taken care of. Compared to other skin types, dry skin produces less sebum. It retains moisture and makes your skin itchy and irritated. During the winter season, you can also see some dry patches around your body, especially on elbows, knees, or heels. To avoid this risk, skincare is important for your skin. This can be taken care of by following some methods.

1. Drink more water
2. Moisturize daily twice a day.
3. Use cream-based products and keep your sunscreen on while going out.

Combination Skin

Combination skin type is common in most people. This type of skin type can confuse some people regarding what products should I use? Combination skin type is a combination of oily and dry skin. There can be some parts on our face that are super oily and some dry. To discover which products to use, you need to find the spots that you feel most oily and dry. Common areas of oiliness can be the T-zone, which is the forehead, nose, and chin. These are the areas that can be oily. The skin around your lips can also be your dry spot.

You can take care of this skin type by following some tips:

1. Drinking water is a must.
2. Often, hydrating face masks can help with your dry spots.
3. Taking steam once in a while can help you open those pores and extract unnecessary oil.

These are the four major skin types that are found easily on people. However, two more skin types may help you relate your skin and create a skincare routine accordingly.

Acne-prone Skin Type

Acne-prone skin type is caused due to too much sebum and sweat production. It is very much similar to oily skin type. If you have oily skin and do not take care of it, it might lead to acne-prone skin. These skin types have high chances of breakouts due to clogged pores.

2. Wash your face twice a day, and again if you sweat.
3. Make sure not to use harsh chemically induced products.
