Skin typesWhat is your skin trying to tell you?Contrary to popular belief, there is no one size fits all with skin types. Sometimes it’s more simple to categorise them for easier selection of skin care choice. But your skin is completely individualised to you, so the best place to start is by reading for your own skin, to know what type it is.Below is a description on how the different skin types present and their cause. But it’s important to learn to listen to your body and read what your skin is trying to tell you. When you get further away from your optimal skin health, your body will show it by making your skin look bad, perhaps your energy levels will be low, you feel sluggish, your general mood is off. However, as you get closer to being in good health, your skin will start to have a natural glow from the inside out. This is your body telling you are on the right track.Poor skin usually stems from a variety of minor imbalances and the underlying cause needs to be addressed.Basics of skin care for all skin typesIn addition to staying hydrated, eating a wholesome diet and getting enough sleep a few essentials for the health of all skin types are: Washing your face before bed, especially if you’ve worn make up: Throughout the day your face collects grime, pollutants and bacteria from the air on your skin. It’s worsened if make up is applied. If you sleep with a dirty face you are unnecessarily clogging your pores and making it hard for your skin to breath and renew itself. Using a broad spectrum sunscreen: UV light damages the skin, adding to the premature ageing affect. Sweating daily: 15 minutes is all it takes to get a good sweat worked up. By doing this, blood will be in better circulation, carrying nutrients and oxygen around the body and out to the skin.Find out more about Dry or Mature Skin Oily Skin Combination Skin Normal skin Sensitive Skin
