Beauty Tip #3- Know Your Skin Type

Make a difference in your skin ---> Treat it with the right products

With technology advancing more everyday the beauty industry has made available a wide range of skincare products and cosmetics targeting a specific type of skin. Sometimes the amount of products available can be overwhelming because choosing between all the products becomes a harder and possibly a more time-consuming task. And of course all products differ in wight size and price. And while we would love to believe that the more we spend on skin care products the closer we are in achieving perfect skin..the reality is that if the product is not suitable for our skin the desired results may never come. This is because all products are available to target a specific skin type.

Which category do you fall in?

• Normal skin- It is said that people with normal skin are the lucky ones. They have neither oily skin or dry skin. They can try products without worrying too much about their skin reacting to the ingredients. 
• Dry skin- My category! How dry you are varies in everyone. I have dry skin but treating it with the right products allows me to wake up to skin that is free of flakes and dry patches.
• Combination skin- People with combination skin are dry in certain areas and oily in others. Usually they have dry cheeks and an oily T-zone.
• Oily skin- people with this type find to be oily in the morning, day and perhaps night. 
• Sensitive skin- this type may be most sensitive to certain ingredients found in creams, lotions, and soaps. If their skin is sensitive to a product, redness from irritation will appear in seconds. 

(***Keep in mind that many men and women have a combination of skin types so you may have dry skin yet be very sensitive to products)

Once you have identified the type of skin you have, finding products suitable for your skin will be easier. You will also notice how much happier your skin looks and feels because it is absorbing the right ingredients.

Beauty Tip #1: Change Your Pillow Cases

        When was the last time you changed your pillow cases? Many people spend hundreds on products such as creams, serums and acne treatments for their skin. This is completely fine but an easy technique that will make a huge difference is changing your pillow case. Pillow cases can hold bacteria and oils and sleeping over them every night may cause breakouts to occur. There are nights when we forget or are just too tired to remove our makeup and wash our face. During those nights the oils of our makeup (including the dirt our face attracts during the day) rubs off to our pillow and so do the natural oils of our hair causing bacteria to grow.  It is recommended that we change our pillow cases at least once every two weeks. Not only will you sleep more comfortably on a clean pillow case but your skin will be happier and cleaner.
