I met a lady at the cosmetics counter in the mall yesterday who was being intimidated and bullied by the cosmetics representative trying to force her into buying products that she didn't need.
That wasn't my first time seeing victims of agressive sales at the mall and that made me realize a lot of us don't even know so much about the largest external organ of the human body - SKIN. It is the only external organ shared by everyone and it's worst enemy is the SUN.
Below is a glance of the different skin types most especially on the face, so take a look and figure out what you've got!
Dry : In woman of color, skin appears dull from dead skin buildup and ashy. Generally, dry skin feel tight, especially after cleansing; fine wrinkles, flaking and red patches.
Oily: Shiny skin, enlarged pores, highly prone to black heads and blemishes; often some tightness on the skin.
Sensitive : Delicate, thin, fine pores. Prone to broken capillaries, frequently allergic, flushes easily and can be rashy.
Combination/Normal: Smooth and even texture, medium pores, good circulation, healthy color, may be oily on T-Zone, may tend toward dryness on the cheeks.
Aging Or Sun Damaged Skin: Visible wrinkles, feels tight, slack skin tone-especially around cheeks and jawline, leathery texture, broken capillaries.
