To prevent damage to your skin, some of which you cannot reverse, it is important to know what kind of treatment to employ for it.
For you to be able to pick the right treatment for yourself, the first step is to understand your skin - what type it is and what color it is.
When it comes to skin, there are three basic types: dry, normal and oily. The skin that is most attractive to a lot of people is normal, because it rarely has issues, it is beautiful, it moisturizes properly and it is balanced.
Dry skin also comes with its own set of problems. It does not moisturize well, it looks like it is going to stretch and it is flaky.
Oily skin is another problem type. It comes across as shiny because of too much sebum.
There is also what people call combination skin, where it has different skin elements in one.
The skin colors have been classified into 6: very dark, dark, dark intermediate, intermediate light, light and very light.
Knowing where your skin color fits will enable you to choose products that are just right for you. You want perfect products for your skin, because they will not cause your skin to get darker than it should be or lighter than it should be.
Also very important when it comes to skin colors, you want a product that will restore your natural color, while soothing it and moisturizing it so that it looks the best.
If you are clueless about your skin type or which products will be best for you, the best place to start is at the dermatologist. They are trained to tell you what skin type you are and what products will treat your skin the best.
