Knowing your skin type is the first step in ensuring your skin feels and looks at its best. This knowledge allows you use the correct products on your face which can really make a major difference to your skin condition. Due to our higher levels of collagen, male skin is up to 20% thicker and tougher than female skin.
Male skin is also oilier with larger exposed pores, a richer blood supply and more of a tendency to break out in a sweat compared with women's skin. Basically, there are five skin types.
* Normal Skin: It has a fine even texture with a supple and smooth surface. It has a proper balance between oil and moisture contents and is therefore moist and neither greasy nor dry. The pores of normal skin are small and the overall skin tone is even. It looks clear and does not develop spots and blemishes. The pores of the skin are fine and barely visible. It reflects good health and needs gentle treatment.
* Dry skin: Dry skin has a dry parched appearance and has a tendency to flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles and lines. It is due to the inability to retain moisture as well as the insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Dry skin often has problems in cold weather and ages faster than normal or oily skin. Constant protection is very important. It needs a moisturizer during the day and a good cream at night.
* Oily skin: As its name implies, oily skin is slightly-to-moderately greasy. This type of skin is caused by the over secretion of sebum making the skin surface oily. The excess oil on the surface of the skin attracts dirt and dust from the environment. Oily skin is also prone to black heads, white heads, spots, pimples and such skin will never be clear. This type of skin needs to be cleansed thoroughly.
* Combination skin: This type of skin is very common. As the name suggests, it is a combination of both oily and dry skin with certain areas of the face oily and the rest dry. Usually there is a central greasy panel consisting of the forehead, nose and chin and a dry panel consisting of cheeks and the areas around the eyes and mouth. The greasy central panel is referred to as T-Zone. In such cases, each part of the face should be treated accordingly - the dry areas as for dry skin and the central panel as for oily skin and use skin care products made especially for combination skin.
* Sensitive skin: This type of skin has a fine texture and is very sensitive to changes in the climate. They show disadvantage of bleaching, waxing, threading, perfumes, temperature extremes, soap etc and for men sun, perfumes, shaving cream etc. Avoid products with dyes, perfumes, or unnecessary chemical ingredients that may irritate skin.
Irrespective of your skin type, the pores of your facial skin tend to get clogged as it is the most exposed part of your body which has to face dust and dirt around you. Once the pores are blocked they may get infected and inflamed, resulting into acne and pimples.
