Many skin care limited daily washing, and then applying the cream, however, maintain their youth, beauty, this list of procedures is not enough. So, what is the holistic skin care is, what the stages to perform at home?
Comprehensive care: identifying skin type
To learn how to properly care for the skin, and to properly choose the cosmetics, you should know the type as well as inherent characteristics. This, or consult a beautician or to try to establish the identity of the dermis to a specific type of their own, with particular regard to the following characteristics:
- Dry skin is very thin, sweet, usually has a matt surface, and small pores. Young, so the skin looks very attractive, practically does not cause problems to the owner. But after 30 years I often saw bad trait, pockets, irritation, desquamation. The dry skin type is very sensitive to external influences, prone to premature aging, caring for, the main thing — regularly to provide protection against negative factors of proper hydration.
- Oily skin — tight, porous. Quickly lose freshness after washing the face, often inflamed, and sometimes scaly.

As a result, the skin loses the ability to functioning properly, interact with the environment.
- Normal skin is smooth, clear, matt, that he's kind of fat, moisture, high sensitivity, it is not prone to irritation, flaking, or inflammation. This is the type of the dermis do not give out the owner, a serious problem, but it is the same as the other types, need good care, which should include the regular cleaning, nutrition, hydration.

The fatty areas have a tendency to the formation of comedones, pimples, dry skin, flaking, premature wrinkles formation. Care dermis mixed type that requires a lot of effort. Here it is necessary to properly set the problem areas, and select each of the cosmetics in accordance with the existing problems. In addition to regular home care, combination skin needs regular salon cosmetic procedures.

Skin care is the increased sensitivity, be sensitive and careful.

About 2 hours attached to the skin (T-zone) for thin paper napkin, and then a few seconds later to evaluate the results. If on paper there were traces of fat, then the dermis refers to oily or combined type (in the second case, you may be concerned not only for the oily Shine on your forehead, cheeks, wings of nose and a feeling of tightness of the other parts of the face). If the clothes are clean you are the owner of the dry skin, the presence of a faint trace of the dermis, to the normal type.
