Facial skin types
Facial skin has several types: normal skin, dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, and sensitive skin. Everyone must have a different skin type, as well as how to care for it. The following explains each facial skin type to help you identify your skin type.
1. Normal skin
People with normal facial skin types rarely experience problems such as dull skin, hyperpigmentation, or large pores. People with this skin type have a balanced level of sebum or oil and water content so that the skin condition is not too dry but also not oily, or you could say it has the right moisture level. Here are some signs of a normal facial skin type: Have a supple and soft skin texture, rarely experience breakouts, barely visible pores, and skin that is not too sensitive.
2. Dry Skin
This dry skin type has a low moisture level, especially after washing your face, because the natural oils in your skin are lifted up by facial cleansing products, so your skin feels tighter. People with this skin type will be more easily irritated, causing redness and pimples. Dry skin types are usually characterized by: a rough, tight, and dull skin surface, cracked skin texture, and easily flushed, itchy and inflamed skin.
3. Oily skin
Oily skin is caused by excess sebum production, which makes the skin very oily so that the pores become clogged and trigger acne. Several factors affect sebum production, such as stress, humidity levels, and also hormonal changes. Oily skin is usually characterized by: a face that looks smoother and shiny, large pores, acne, and a skin texture that is uneven and rough.
4. Combination skin
Women in tropical countries like Indonesia often own combination skin types. This skin type will feel oily in certain areas, and some other areas will feel normal, dry, or sensitive. Usually, oily skin is in the T-zone area, namely the forehead, chin, and nose. In contrast, areas that feel dry or normal are located in the eyes, mouth, or cheeks. Here are some things that characterize combination skin: In certain areas, the skin feels oilier and shiny, frequent breakouts in the T-zone area, and the skin texture is rough and oily.
5. Sensitive skin
As the name implies, sensitive facial skin tends to experience irritation more easily, such as easily experiencing itching, redness, dryness, peeling, and burning. That way, you can recognize signs like these if you have sensitive skin: facial skin that is often red and feels sore, a face that feels tight because the skin is dry and rough and itches easily to the point of peeling.
