What’s the difference between the type of skin and its condition?
To choose the most suitable facility to take care of your skin you should be able to distinguish your type of skin and its current condition. According to the type your skin can be dry, greasy or combined. If you’re asked about the way your skin is feeling now you can answer: tired, slag or like this ‘it is usually greasy, but now I’m feeling the dry areas on the cheeks and in the corners of my mouth’. It’s a shining example of the situation when the type of skin disagrees with its current condition. Your skin can be dry and greasy at the same time; it means that it holds too much fat, but lacks of moisture. Your skin can be dry but with protuberances under its surface: it’s a sign that you used too oily cream to get rid of its dryness. So we should be able to distinguish what is the type of skin and its condition.

The type of skin.
It’s not a rare case when people, choosing the cosmetic products are guided by the type of their skin. Is it really so good? You need to know the information but it’s impractically to build up the system of care for your skin according to its type. The condition of skin is changing during a year, a month and even a day. You may have some troubles with your skin if your attention to it isn’t proper.

For instance, some people consider their skin to be greasy, because it’s growing greasy during a day. But is it really so? If not and their skin is normal, but they use the facilities for greasy skin it results to overdrying; skin starts excreting more skin fat and then you’re sure to get this type of skin at last. With all this going on, there appear protuberances on your skin, as soon as the pores of normal skin can’t let much skin fat pass on the surface.

You may think that you have a dry skin, when you notice the zones Imagedisposed to peeling on your skin. it makes you use a moisturizing cream with a richer concentration. If your skin isn’t dry the creams will stay on the surface and turn into a vapor. If a cream is provided with a nice system of useful agents’ delivery they will get into your skin and again those protuberances.

Hot to define that the type of skin isn’t balanced with its condition? The first evidence: you have 2 contradictory problems on one part of your skin. for example, your nose sparkles and peels at the same time; there’re eruption on the dry areas of your skin. Further you’ll be able to find the peculiarities of types of skin.

Dry skin.
This skin never acquires an oily glitter. There can appear peeling. You may feel that your skin needs a moisturizer in the in the middle of the day. It is disposed to little wrinkles and very sensitive to UF-rays.

Normal dry skin.
It has the same problems as dry skin but the less amounts of them. The eruptions aren’t peculiar to this type of skin, but they can show themselves if you care of your skin in improper way.

Normal skin.
Normally for people who have this type it’s easier to look after their skin. The peculiar features: up to the middle of the day you can notice the oily glitter, if the conditions of the environment around you changed you may observe the dry areas or vice versa the oily parts. But the normal conditions bring your skin back to its ordinary state.

Normal greasy skin.
The oily glitter appears on this type of skin during several hours. First your nose starts glittering, then a forehead and chin. You may catch a sight of glitter on cheeks and sideways of your nose. Blackheads (blocked pores) are a problem but the steady peeling procedures can help to cope with it. You can even feel the dryness on your skin; it means that your skin is overdried with purifying products. You’d better avoid it because the overdryness of your skin leads to the high excreting of skin fat by oily-glands.

Greasy skin.
If you define the type of your skin by yourself you need to bear in mind that your Imageskin can be greasy because the moisturizing or cleansing product you apply isn’t fitted to your skin. If the skin of any type isn’t balanced with its condition, it produces the excess of skin fat; we plunge into purifying it and forget to use the moisturizing cream. Thus, we aggravate the situation. But if you cleansed your skin and applied the moisturizing cream and your skin became greasy in an hour it’s obviously: you have a greasy type of skin. Oily glitter spreads from your nose up to all the T-zone (a forehead, nose and chin), and at last covers all the areas of your face.

The condition of skin.
It’s simple to react to the finest changes of your skin if you do it in proper time. Sometimes it means that you need to change one or several facilities according to the current situation. One set of products for every season won’t do anything good for your skin. You have to be able to judge the feeling of your skin and operate according to it. What for to buy one extremely oily moisturizer and always apply it if you found out that your skin is dry? To be on the safe side you should purchase an oily moisturizer or a moisturizing mask if your skin suddenly felt dryer (because of wind or frost). Then you’ll use these facilities and put them off till the next time.

If you’re on the journey, it influences your skin in a negative way. It becomes dim and look exhausted; for this period of time it’s up to you to have the product, freshening and adding the shine to your skin. To cope with spots you need to have the cosmetic to do them away. If your skin peels you should acquire the peeling cosmetic. On the whole all these conditions of skin can be associated with the described types of skin. That’s why when choosing the product you’d better direct your attention to different types of skin. For example, if you need a strong moisturizer you can find it among the facilities for dry skin and so forth; don’t buy all the same products automatically. You need much more cosmetics to react to the constant changes of the condition of your skin: day and night creams, lotion, foam for washing. No doubt you’ll have to spend much: that’s why you may try to exchange some products for the natural ones.

For instance, you can compose the mask of natural materials; and if you do it before going to bed you can easily do without applying a night cream.
