Basically, there are 3 types of skin- Dry Skin, Oily Skin and Combination Skin. The Combination Skin type requires the most care. Please read ahead to find the skin care tips:
Dry
Do not use soap-based cleansers, toners, astringents, and drying masks.
Use a moisturizer. Moisturizer helps remove dryness. You can choose any brand you prefer. You don't need different products for various body parts, though you may prefer a lighter formulation for your face.
Cleansing, exfoliation and hydration of skin starts in the shower. So apply moisturizer after a bath. Do not use extremely hot water to wash and bathe. This increases dryness.
Oily
Astringents, toners, and other oil-cutting products may be useful to control overproduction of oil. Overproduction of oil causes breakouts.
But to prevent overproduction of oil, do not let your skin to be over dry. Over dryness causes arid and peeling skin. A recently launched new relevant product called Tazorac gel is available in the market. You should get a doctor's prescription to use this gel. The gel is quite effective in controlling oil production.
Use a moisturizer only when and where you need it. Ensure that moisturizer is water-based, oil-free, and non comedogenic.
Combination
This skin type requires most care because this type requires everything well balanced. Luckily, for most combo-skin types, the oiliness is centered in the T-zone area. In T-zone area, everyone has a higher concentration of sebaceous glands. Use a water-based, oil-free, noncomedogenic moisturizer, but only in the areas where you need it.
