Understanding Your Skin Type
To create a customized skincare plan, it’s essential to understand your skin type. O Cosmetics’ expert skincare advisor, Aoife, emphasized the importance of recognizing your skin’s unique characteristics. There are five main skin types: normal, combination, oily, dry, and sensitive. Each skin type has its own set of challenges and requirements. Normal skin is balanced and even-toned, with a mix of oily and dry areas. Combination skin is characterized by oily areas on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry areas on the cheeks. Oily skin is prone to blackheads and acne, with a high sebum production. Dry skin is tight and flaky, with a lack of moisture. Sensitive skin is easily irritated, with a heightened reaction to products and environmental factors.
Identifying Your Skin Concerns
Once you’ve determined your skin type, it’s time to identify your skin concerns. These can include issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. Aoife asked us to consider our lifestyle habits, diet, and environmental factors that may be affecting our skin. Are you a smoker or exposed to pollution? Do you have a diet rich in processed foods and sugar?
