Skin care products help people to maintain the skin care regimen that they need, to be able to have the best skin texture and appearance possible. Skin care products also help people to achieve the skin improvements that they need, and help in obtaining the goals of much improved skin conditions.
Skin care products include moisturising lotions and creams, skin lighteners, sun block or sunscreen lotions, tanning oils to darken or brown the skin, and skin treatment products to address certain skin conditions (such as dark spots, wrinkles, acne, whiteheads, blackheads, excessive oiliness or dryness, etc.).
It is best to get to know your type of skin first, in order to determine which skin care products will work best for your specific needs. Using the correct skin care products can not only help you achieve the best looking skin possible – they can also help protect your skin so that potential skin problems can be avoided (whenever possible).
Skin Types
Type 1: Oily Skin – Oily skin often appears to be shiny with enlarged pores, and is more prone to blackheads and blemishes formation. People with oily skin may experience a greasy texture throughout the day and night.
Type 2: Combination/Normal Skin – The combination or normal skin type is characterised by medium pores, healthy color, a smooth and even texture, good circulation, and may tend towards dryness on the cheeks while experiencing oiliness in the t-zone.
Type 3: Sensitive Skin – Sensitive skin is characterised by thin, delicate skin texture with fine pores. Sensitive skin flushes or blushes easily, is prone to broken capillaries, more prone to rashes, and can be more susceptible to rashes.
Type 4: Dry Skin – Dry skin is characterised by a tight feeling, especially after cleansing. Individuals who have dry skin have a tendency towards the development of fine wrinkles, flaking and red patches. Those who have a darker skin colour may have dry skin that can appear ashy or dull from dead skin buildup.
Type 5: Ageing or Sun-Damaged Skin – Ageing or Sun-Damaged Skin is characterised by a tight feeling with visible wrinkles, slack skin tone (especially on the jaw line and the cheeks), with broken capillaries and a leathery texture.

As a person ages and the skin takes the abuse of daily living (such as stress, sun exposure, and pollution), the skin’s cell turnover rate slows down accordingly. The new cells of the skin will now take longer to form and reach the topmost layer; the old cells accumulate and stay on the skin surface for a longer period of time. Unwelcome signs of aging will start to be noticeable; these will include: fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, freckles and age spots, loss of elasticity and loss of natural skin hydration.
