Are you having trouble finding the right soap? Does your lotion make your skin even drier?
Well, the first step to getting your products right is to figure out your skin type.
There are three basic types: Oily, combination, and dry.
Knowing your “type” determines your approach to skin care. Though one is born to a certain kind of skin, it can change with time depending upon one’s lifestyle, diet, environment and even, hormonal changes.
Test yourself:
A quick way is to get a regular sheet of blotting paper, and after you’ve washed your face with soap and water, gently dab it over towel-dried skin.
Oily skin will show oil spots over the paper.
Dry skin does not show any oil.
Combination – oily spots will appear in the T-zone area (forehead, nose, chin) but will stay dry in the other parts.
Once you’ve determined your type, here are a few skin care tips:
1. Normal
Since your skin is probably as smooth as a baby’s bottom, you take proper steps to maintain its clarity, elasticity and tone.
Use gentle yet revitalizing products such as the Diana Stalder Vitamin A Beauty Bar, the Diana Stalder Revitalizing Beauty Bar and the Diana Stalder Nourishing Cream.
2. Dry skin
Dry skin may not be as prone to breakouts as oily skin, but it needs as much (if not more) care. Dry skin tends to flake easily and is prone to irritation. People with dry skin often have more wrinkles.
Use gentle, moisturizing products. Aim for products with natural ingredients. Since dry skin is susceptible to ageing, pick products that contain sunscreen, such as Diana Stalder Skin Moisturizing Lotion (SPF 30) or the Diana Stalder SBF Collagen Cream which will help retain skin moisture and elasticity. The Diana Stalder Glycerine Beauty Bar also helps ease dry skin issues.
3. Oily Skin
Oily skin is the most prone to pimple outbreaks, therefore place an emphasis on exfoliating and deep-pore cleansing. Aim for products that address pimples and blemishes, such as Diana Stalder Tea Tree Beauty Bar or the Diana Stalder Clean and Tone Lotion.
