Skin type advice

Skin type advice 

It is not clear exactly what you mean by this question — all you need to do is look at your skin and touch it to know whether it is normal, dry, or oily. I assume that this is what you mean by “kind of skin”, but as for finding this out, there is no complex procedure needed, so your question is quite confusing.

It is quite easy to recognize normal skin, just follow your instinct.


Even if your skin is slightly dry, this will be quite obvious; severe dryness is more obvious as it will result in white, flaky patches, and possibly even itching. If you have dry skin, you simply need to use a moisturizer, preferably a thick cream rather than a lotion. You should moisturize your skin soon after bathing, because your skin has already absorbed a good deal of moisture at this time, and applying the cream will help it retain this moisture.


In addition, make sure that you drink enough water, as one common reason for dry skin is dehydration.

Oily skin is a little more tricky to handle, but it is still not a major problem. Your skin may be producing too much oil in response to certain cosmetics that you are using, so you should try cutting down a bit. Washing more regularly may also help, but do not overdo it; drying out your skin completely will only encourage it to produce more oil.
