Normal Skin:
This skin type is mostly common with kids though some adults have it. As we grow, we encounter various experiences that threaten our skin and cause a change in our skin type.

The Normal Skin Type is neither dry nor greasy and considerably easier to cleanse and treat than other skin types. Some people consider it to be a combination skin, but it is not. It is usually characterized with fine pores, good blood circulation, a velvety and smooth texture and does not get irritated as easily. It has the right amount of oil, hydration and dryness as compared to other skin types.

This skin type requires a simple care routine and needs the least amount of upkeep. However skin maintenance is essential. Wash your face with cleansers that are designed for your normal skin type. Wipe with an alcohol free, hydrating toner all over the face. Apply moisturizer more frequently in other to keep skin moisturized.

Combination Skin: This is the most common of all the skin types and it has traits of more than one skin type. The Combination Skin is comprised of two skin types on one face and the body.

Those with this skin type usually experience oil on the T-zone (forehead, chin and nose) while the other part of the face and the body is usually dry or normal skin type. This skin type is mostly prone to acne, blackheads and enlarged pores because of the excess oil production.

Most people get confused about skin care because it could be quite tricky to care for as different parts of the face requires different care. To achieve a delicate balance, alternate treatments to accommodate both distinctly different types of facial skin. Deep cleansing and regular exfoliation help to keep skin clear and minimize blemishes especially in the T-zone. Moisturize your cheeks and use a more stringent product on your T-zone to cut through the oil. If you are already suffering from acne, try to cleanse skin daily to fight the bacteria associated with acne from the inside, exfoliate once or twice weekly, use products containing tea tree oil as it helps with acne.

Dry Skin
Dry skin is a skin type that is characterized by itching, scaling and cracking. Though it is natural for some people, some other persons tend to develop a dry as a result of climatic change, excessive usage of hot water to bath, skincare products and lots more. The level of dryness varies per individual. While it is itchy for some people, it is just dry and scaly for others.
You might think having a flaky and dry skin is an opportunity to exfoliate more, doing that will only dry your skin further. What you need to do is moisturize very often and use heavier moisturizers during the harmattan.
Other ways to take care of this skin type is; avoid using alcoholic based cleansers, use oil based. Scrub once a week, avoid taking very hot baths and use oil based products and moisturizers.

The first thing to note in your skincare journey is your Skin Type. Building a good skincare regimen starts with knowing the type of skin you have and then you can know how to effectively take care of it.
You might want to ask yourself, what is a skin type? A skin type is the texture of your skin, knowing this helps us to know what works best for us. Some people may have more than one skin type and our skin type sometimes changes due to conditions like; weather, harsh chemicals, food, environment and lifestyle. The various skin types we have are; dry skin, combination skin, oily skin, sensitive skin and normal skin. There's another one known as the tough skin, it's not really a skin type, it is mostly caused by changes in the skin though sometimes it comes naturally.

I am Oluwatobi Akande, a Skincare Therapist. I run an online organic skincare shop called Mild Organics which has been operational for two years now.
For the two years, I've been focused on producing and selling various nourishing black soaps for various skin types. I've also been making research and attended various trainings in order to serve my customers better.
