In determining the skincare used, it is mandatory to know the type of skin you have.
There are various types of facial skin, ranging from oily, dry skin to a combination of both.
If it is wrong in determining it, then it is not impossible that the skincare used does not provide optimal results.
So how to determine the type of facial skin?
Reporting Tribunhealth.com from the Tribun Lampung News Video YouTube show, dr. Amelica Oksariani, M. Biomed (AAM) gave her tips.
According to him, in knowing the type of oily skin is usually identified with;
- Have large pores
- Easy blackheads
- Easy breakouts
- Easy gloss.
Inversely, on dry skin will tend to:
- Easy wrinkles
- Frequent irritation of the area between the nose and lips
- -Wearing powder does not stick to the skin.
While on combination skin, namely:
- Forehead, nose and chin area (T zone) easily greasy
- Easy breakouts in the T zone
- Easy to blackhead on zone T.
Then on sensitive skin, it will usually be difficult to match various skincare products.
Definition of Healthy Skin
This healthy skin is not only centered on the face but also on the skin of the body.
There are many assumptions about the definition of healthy skin in people's minds, but the definition of healthy skin is actually a skin condition that avoids aging.
Healthy skin condition can be known if you avoid various complaints:
- Acne scars
- Dull-free
- Free of large pores
- and wrinkle-free.
It can be underlined, then, that healthy skin is not the definition of fair skin.
"So healthy skin doesn't have to be white, people who have brown or black skin can also have healthy skin," said Amelica.
Causes of Dullness
Dull skin becomes a sign that the skin is in an unsanitary condition.
Because this dull skin condition shows the skin in the aging process which can take place at a young age.
"So at the age of 25, the aging process has entered our bodies," said Amelica.
As long as there is still sun, then the skin cells on the body can be aged. Especially on the skin of the face or body.
Dull skin is caused by the accumulation of dead skin cells that never get cleansed.
Basic Skincare for Face
Amelica continued, if someone already has healthy skin, the bonus obtained is skin that looks bright.
If you will not appear various complaints on the skin, such as dull skin and dry skin.
To overcome this, the correct basic skincare is needed, such as:
In realizing a bright and healthy skin condition, Amelica recommends one of the efforts that can be done.
Namely by using basic skincare that suits the needs of the skin.
"For example, if you have normal skin, then use skincare for normal skin," said Amelica.
Please note that basic skincare is actually only 3 types, namely:
1. Soap
To clean the skin of the face from impurities. Either dust or residual make up.
It is recommended to clean the skin of the face a maximum of 2 times a day when you wake up in the morning and the night before going to bed.
2. Sunscreen
Protects the skin from sun exposure
3. Mousturizer
Provides skin moisture so that the water inside the skin does not run away.
Thus the skin will remain hydrated and not dry.
Thus preventing aging or wrinkles until the skin is dull.
"Because the more hydrated the skin, the better the skin barrier will be," Amelia said.
