Knowing your skin type is absolutely necessary in order to make a right decision about a proper skin care or treatment, which is suitable for your particular skin needs. The initial quality, or type, of your skin is genetically determined - meaning that you are born with it.
However, the health and beauty of your skin later in life largely depends on what you eat and how you take care of yourself. A popular Russian saying states that, after the age of 30, a woman looks the way she deserves …To always look great, the first step is to determine your skin type so that you can match it with the best recommended methods to improve your look and slow the aging process.
5 Home-Made Face Masks for Winter Skin Care…
Generally, we can single out five basic skin types: normal, dry, oily, combination, and sensitive, with each having particular characteristics and requiring specific care and/or treatment.
To determine your type, use a simple test with a clean facial tissue (or paper) to wipe your face in the morning, when you have just woken up:
1. Normal Skin …
If you skin belongs to a normal type, the tissue will not reveal any traces of oil. Your skin should feel vibrant, elastic, and supple. Normal skin is the least problematic type.
It looks clean and smooth and has a good circulation and healthy complexion. Even with a minimum care, it will look good well into your advanced age.

2. Dry Skin …
If your skin is dry, the paper will be clean, too, but your face skin will feel flaky, dry, and tight after you have wiped it.
Dry skin can easily develop a sallow tone, wrinkles, and fine pores, and it is very prone to aging and irritating. It might still look great on a young person, but, to keep it healthy, you should apply thorough care and use regular treatment with natural masks and moisturizers.

I have an oily skin and I choose carefully the products I use.
Sensitive skin care is more than just choosing the right sensitive skin care product. In order to take care of your sensitive skin, you need to be careful on choosing the products for your skin.
I have somewhat of dry skin in the morning and then it can get a little oily later in the day. But when I wake up it tends to be dried out so I put some lotion on it!
I have what seems to be oily, dry and sensitive skin so it’s very tricky picking out the right skin care products. What I found works best is Erno Laszlo products. I cleanse my face with the Sea Mud Soap and Active Phelityl Oil and within a couple days, my skin was even and toned. It leaves my skin soft but not oily, and doesn’t bother my sensitive skin at all. It has to be the best cleansing products I’ve ever used. It makes my face feel fresh and normal instead of a disaster! Also, I use the Light Controlling Lotion after I wash my face to keep it extra soft. I love Erno Laszlo!!!

Abida, you may want to try milder products. I’m sure your local health store has a good selection.
I have oily, dry, sensitive skin and have pimples at the same time! When I wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror, my face is covered with oil. After I wash my face, it feels tight so when I look at the mirror, I see flakes! But when I try some facial wash, I feel that my face is burning and goes red! and my piples got sooo red..
My father recommended Seba Med soap bar for pimples and blackheads. So I tried it. My face feels less oily, my face doesn’t get irritated by it but.. still it feels dry.
What should I use!? Heeelp!
Now here is the common problem with most cleansers from the pharmacy, they contain alot of alcohol that dries out the face which is why an oily skin will become dry, now u want to look for a foam or gel cleanser for oily skin, make sure there is no alcohol in the product. If you really want to cure you’re problem I would go to a salon because unlike the pharmacy their active ingredients are high and treats you;re problem. Pharmacy products have a huge list of chemicals and a verry small percent of the active ingredient, If you look at a product and it says I dunno Hyaluronic acid cream, if you look at the ingredients it will probably be one of the last ingredients on the bottle which means verry small percentage maybe even just a drop.
The reason why spa’s have high active ingredients is because they can teach you how to use the product, and pharmacy products are dummy proof so that if u put too much u cant harm the skin because there isnt enough actives in it.
So I strongly suggest to go get a skin consult there usually free, or if u dont have the money then look for sumth with no alcohol. And even if u have oily skin u must hydrate the skin.!
Hope this helped and hope u make the right choices. So Cleanse Tone, Exfoliate, and hydrate (exfoliate only once a week)
