How to tell what skin color your face is

In daily life, many people have to choose cosmetics or skin care products based on their own skin conditions. Different skin types have different acceptance of skin care products, for example, some people have oily skin, while others have dry skin. However, the fact is that many people do not know how to determine the skin type of their face. In order to better solve everyone's questions, the editor has summarized some little knowledge to help you solve your doubts. Now let's learn how to tell what skin color you have on your face.

1. How to determine your skin type

1. The skin feels delicate and elastic, neither dry nor greasy. It becomes drier when the weather turns cold and sometimes oily in summer. It is relatively sun-resistant and insensitive to external stimuli. Luckily, you have normal skin. Generally speaking, there won't be any problem. If you have fine pores, at most there will be a slight amount of oil secretion.

2. The skin looks delicate, but becomes dry and peels with the change of seasons. It is prone to wrinkles and spots. It rarely gets acne and pimples, and feels rough to the touch. Then you have dry skin. If you press lightly on your skin with your index finger, fine lines will appear.

3. The face is often oily, with large pores, rough skin, thick cortex and prone to acne and blackheads, and not prone to wrinkles. You have oily skin. Spots and blackheads that appear from time to time can be very annoying.

4. The forehead, bridge of nose and chin are oily and prone to acne, while the rest of the body is dry. This is combination skin.

5. The skin is thin, naturally fragile and lacks elasticity. It becomes red and prone to small papules when the seasons change or when exposed to cold or heat. The capillaries are shallow and easily rupture to form small red threads. This is typical of sensitive skin.

2. Face washing test method

The face wash test method uses the duration of the tight feeling after cleansing to judge. After cleansing, without applying any skin care products, the face will feel tight.

The tightness of dry skin disappears after 40 minutes after cleansing.

For normal skin, the tightness disappears after 30 minutes after cleansing.

The tightness feeling on oily skin disappears after 20 minutes after cleansing.

3. How to wash your face correctly?

Step 1: Using water that is close to skin temperature, around 35°, is the most gentle on the skin.

Step 2: After washing your hands, choose a facial cleanser that suits your skin type and has a pH between 5.5 and 7. Squeeze a soybean-sized amount of facial cleanser onto your hands to create foam, then apply it to your face and gently spread it on.

Step 3: Then use both hands to make outward circles and massage your face at the same time, followed by cleaning your forehead, cheeks, nose wings and nose tip, rubbing up and down. The duration should be at least two minutes, which can fully exert the effectiveness of the cleanser and fully massage the face.

Step 4: After washing your face, pat it dry with a clean towel and use moisturizer as soon as possible to reduce the evaporation of moisture on the skin surface.
