Facial Content

Dry skin is characterized by poor epidermal function’ and potential damage to the epidermal layer, the protective outer layer of the skin. Some people who have dry skin can attribute it to a genetic predisposition or inappropriate skincare habits. It is common for dry skin to be an issue for women entering menopause. The following characteristics are common in those women who suffers from dry skin:

– Skin feels tight and irritable 

– Often looks flaky 

– Shows fine lines 

– Has visibly small pores 

– Slow secretion of sebum 

– May be hard to apply makeup

Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is a skin condition. It is caused by external elements (weather and seasonal changes), unhealthy diet (lack of fresh produce) and lifestyle choices (alcohol or caffeine consumption). All of these factors deplete your skin’s water content, resulting in a less supple appearance. A key takeaway is that dehydration is characterized by a lack of water -not oil; even oily skin types can become dehydrated. Luckily, dehydrated skin is temporary and can be relieved with a combination of topical treatments and lifestyle changes.

– Increased Sensitivity

Oily skin is caused by an over-secretion of sebum, an oily substance our skin needs in order to function properly. Too much of this sebum can cause acne and too little can cause dry, cracked skin. Whilst oily skin is typically thought of as occurring during adolescence, it can be seen at any age. The main characteristics of oily skin include:

– Shiny and often has breakouts 

– Less visible wrinkles 

– Visible and enlarged looking pores 

– Make up may wear off easily

People often hear about yet wonder, what is combination skin’. When talking about combination skin, it means we have at least two different types of facial skin and may need to adjust our skincare habits accordingly. The main variations of combination skin are typical:

– Either oily or normal skin around the T-Zone area of the face. This includes the nose, forehead, and chin 

– Dry or normal skin around the U-ZONE, which is the cheek, mouth, and eyes
