The largest organ of the human body is the skin. It is also considered as one of the prized asset since it is the skin which covers our body and so, it plays a major role in adding an edge to our personality. So, it is normal for all of us to be concerned for our skin and to take proper care of it. So it is important for all the people to identify their own skin type. Normally human skin is categorized into five different types and each type has different characteristics.
1. Normal Skin
Some of the luckiest people are blessed with normal skin type which is marked by a smooth and toned texture. This type of skin has no oily areas or flaky patches and does not contain any visible pores although some occasional blackheads can be experienced in response to the natural surroundings.
2. Dry Skin
Dry skin looks transparent and is marked by a fine texture. If you have dry skin, then right after washing your face, you will feel your skin going tight and drawn out until you apply any moisturizer. Dry skin also tends to display very fine lines around the mouth and the eyes.
3. Oily Skin
Oily skin is the result of overproduction of oil which leads to the formation of blemishes, frequent spots and blackheads. The pores of oily skin are generally large and its texture is coarser and thicker in comparison to other skin types.
4. Combination skin
Most of the people have combination skin type which is characterized by oily nose, chin and the center of the forehead whereas the remaining part tends to be normal or dry.
5. Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is mainly dry but has very delicate appearance. It does not have visible pores and is marked by small red spots. Sensitive skin is frequently irritated when it comes in contact with water, cosmetics containing strong chemicals, detergent, dust etc. Some people with sensitive skin are also affected by temperature change and exposure to the sun resulting in redness, rashes, stinging, burning or itching. Sensitive skin is also prone to develop broken or swollen capillaries along with allergies and therefore this skin type needs utmost care and protection most of the time.
