HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SKIN TYPE:

Oily Skin: This skin is always oily especially on getting up in the mornig , and all through te day has a tendency towards open pores. Blackheads, spot and pimples appear fast if you neglect if. However, this skin lasts longer, and looks young only if looked after.

Dry Skin: This skin seems dry after washing, and can have small lines, specially around the mouth; small pores on the nose are normal, and no pores are visible on the cheeks. But it needs protection all through the day. Dry skins are very fragile and, if neglected, can lead to premature lines and wrinkles.

Combination Skin: This is conspicuous by an oily panel down the face, covering the centre of the forehead and nose down to the chin, and is dry on the sides of the face. This is a very common type of skin, and if cared for accordingly, has a good chance of lasting longer.

Skin Care Introduction

Let me start with that old aphorism: " Beauty is skin deep" Used originally to distinquish the physical and Spiritual, it has been mouthed , over the ages, all those who envy beauty. Beauty is not and can never be merely skin deep,for no amount of cosmetics or make-up can hide the pallor of an unhealthy disposition. The basic elements of beauty lie not on the surface, but inside, and a primarily happy frame of mind in a healthy body, is the only requirement for that "glow"and "sparkle" so much a part of beauty.
