Beauty consists in an adequate care of our skin. But the wide range of products on the market can put us in real difficulty when we have to choose the right cream for our skin.

Dermatologists say that to choose an effective cream. We need to consider many factors, from the ingredients used to our age and skin type. They also warn that no matter how much we like certain ingredients, we must first think about our skin’s needs in the medium and long term.

The skin type is the basis for choosing the right cream.

In other words, every skin type needs careful and adequate care. The skin is the one that dictates which are the ideal products for upkeep and maintenance.

Thus, depending on the amount of sebum it secretes and the skin’s ability to retain water, dermatologists have identified five types of skin and the right creams for each:

Five Types Of Skin

1- Mixed Skin

Mixed skin is the most common type of skin. It tends to thicken in the T zone, while the rest of the zones show dryness.

Specialists recommend using different care products for each area: a cream that absorbs fat from the T-zone and one that moisturizes dry portions.

To avoid wrinkles, they also recommend anti-aging creams and the consumption of natural supplements rich in antioxidants and selenium.

2- Dry Skin

Dry skin is dull dull, and the skin is not elastic. If the skin does not produce sebum in optimal amounts, it means that it needs a  very nourishing cream, used in combination with a gentle and emollient cleanser.

However, there is a second case, namely that in which the skin can be completely deprived of water, so dehydrated, and then it needs even more hydration. In this case, beauty specialists recommend cleaning it with fallen water and not hot so as not to remove the skin’s natural oils and adopt a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nutritious yogurts, and fish oil.

3- Oily Skin

Oily skin is shiny, has dilated pores on the forehead, nose, and chin. This type of skin most often has acne rashes and blackheads. Specialists recommend using water-based creams and lotions, with gel textures and sebum-regulating effect, mattifying and anti-inflammatory products.

Exfoliation is also very important for oily skin, as it removes excess sebum and dead skin from the surface of the skin, which can clog pores. And last but not least, a low-fat diet is necessary in the care of this skin type.

4- Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin reacts most quickly to environmental factors, especially at low temperatures, pollution, food, or smoking.

People with such a type of skin suffer from itching and redness. They need creams with hypoallergenic effect, without dyes and preservatives, and rich in moisturizing oils, which relax and soothe the skin.

5- Normal Skin

If you have normal skin, you are lucky because it is not pretentious at all. This type of skin is perfectly balanced and retains water effectively, so it does not show dehydration.

To care for and maintain this type of skin, specialists recommend using delicate products with moisturizing effects and UV protection factor.
