Dry Skin Type

Dry skin has a thin and papery texture.
It feels dry to touch.
The pores are very fine.

Hardly ever break out in spots.

Oily Skin Type

Oily skin feels very greasy.

Caring for Oily Skin Type:
To care for oily skin you should start with a gentle, foaming facial wash. This will remove dirt and oil without stripping away moisture. Soak cotton wool in a gentle astringent lotion and sweep it over your skin to refresh and cool it. Even oily skin needs a moisturizer, but chose a light, watery fluid; this will be enough for your skin. Allow the moisturizer to sink in and then absorb the excess with a tissue to prevent shine.
