What's Your Skin Type?

Hello my lovely readers. Today's post is all about skin types. I'll be giving you tips and tricks to look your best no matter what skin type you have.

DRY SKIN
If you have Dry Skin that means that your skin lacks Oils and tends to flake.
- The best type of foundation would be a liquid or cream based type. 
- Also remember to NEVER use too much powder on Dry Skin.

OILY SKIN
Oily skin means there is an over production of oil in your skin. You most likely always have a shiney T-Zone (forehead, nose, chin). 
- Best thing is to Avoid Alcohol based products and use alcohol-free toners. 
- Primers and Mattifiers are great products to help reduce the oil during Makeup Wear.
- Water-based products work best.

SENSITIVE SKIN
By far the most problematic skin type. Sensitive skin is very fragile and prone to breakouts. This type of skin need special attention because different temperatures, makeup, and atmospheres can cause it to have different effects.

COMBINATION SKIN
Combo skin means you have a mix of two or more skin types. This is the most common skin type. Usually you have a shiney t-zone and dry cheek area. 
- Make sure too use products that are SUITABLE for Combo skin
- More of a moisturizer product for dry areas and alcohol-free toner for Oily areas.

Tips to consider no matter what type of skin you have are to Cleanse; Exfoliate; Toner; and Moisturize. You want to let your pores breath. You want to make sure that all the dead skin on your face is not causing you to break out. Exfoliate at least once a week. I promise you that after exfoliating, your face will feel brand new.
