KNOW YOUR SKIN TYPE
Hello Beautiful People,
Welcome to our beauty talks. We, at the house of radiance
see the need to encourage both women and men to care for their wellbeing.
Therefore, we put together beauty sessions to reach out to people far and wide
and to teach them a thing or two about their skin health and wellbeing. The
skin is the largest organ in the body. It is important to take good care of our
skin.
Putting together an effective skincare can be very
challenging especially with the different cleansers, creams, scrubs and serums
crowding store shelves every day.
However, with little preparation, you can simplify the
process. Begin by determining your skin type and targeting your needs. Are you
concerned with moisturizing dry patches or preventing breakouts? Softening
lines or making skin glow?
Ascertaining your skin type is very easy. It is the first
step you should take before you put anything on your face.
Here’s a simple test to figure out whether your skin is
normal, dry, oily, or a combination of dry and oily. You will need soap, water,
face towel, watch and blotting paper.
WASH AND DRY your
face and leave it unmoisturized for three hours. Press a single piece of tissue
or blotting paper to your face and remove it. Then, make your diagnosis:
NORMAL SKIN You
have normal skin if no oil comes off on the blotting paper and your face
doesn’t feel tight or flaky.
DRY SKIN Your
skin is dry if it feels dry, tight or flaky and no oil appears on the paper.
OILY SKIN You
have oily skin if oils appears on the blotting paper from your nose, forehead
and cheeks.
COMBINATION
SKIN If there is oil on your nose and forehead (the areas of the
face with the most oil glands) but not your cheeks, you have combination skin.
SENSITIVE SKIN Your
skin is sensitive if your skin tends not to be tight and blotchy and reacts to
new skin-care products by becoming red, inflamed or itchy.
And that’s the simple skin type test. Once, you know your
skin type, it is now very easy to choose the right skin care to cater for your
skin. I hope this is helpful. Please kindly leave any questions or comments
below and we will be glad to answer you providing any help you may need
concerning your beauty needs. Also, at the house of radiance beauty studio, we
pick random winners who comment regularly and send them recharge cards or
freebies. Also, stay tuned till our next
