How to recognize your skin type?

Proper skin care starts with getting to know your skin type. This, in turn, allows you to choose the right cosmetics ;-) Several years ago, the division was simple, cosmetology distinguished 4 types of skin: dry - oily - combination - normal. Once the skin type was diagnosed, it stayed with us for a long time, the diagnosis was rarely departed from ;-) With this approach, the choice of care was simple! Today, we live in completely different conditions, we are influenced by ecology and environmental changes. Assessing symptoms, such as oily skin, is not enough to determine your skin type. Age also does not matter (acne appears in 40-year-olds). You need to delve deeper, look at what kind of skin we have from nature and what it has become under the influence of external factors and the method of care.

Blood vessels are another factor that determines your skin type. The skin may be shallowly vascularized with or without visible capillaries. And could you get normal skin from nature? One that is smooth and that responds properly to environmental influences and changes in the atmosphere? Science claims that the concept of normal skin in adulthood does not exist. And yet we can make the skin look young and healthy :-)
