Skin types and tones

Understanding your skin type and tone is important when it comes to choosing skincare products that will work best for you. Here's a brief overview of skin types and tones:

Skin Types:

1. Normal skin: This skin type is well-balanced, with small pores and a smooth texture. It's not too dry or too oily.

2. Dry skin: This skin type can feel tight or flaky, and may be prone to fine lines and wrinkles. It needs extra hydration and moisture.

3. Oily skin: This skin type produces excess oil, which can cause shine and breakouts. It needs products that help regulate oil production.

4. Combination skin: This skin type is a mix of oily and dry areas. The T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is usually oily, while the cheeks are dry.

5. Sensitive skin: occurs in some people due to genetic differences in the normal protective skin barrier or skin irritation so severe it becomes inflamed.

Skin Tones:

1. Fair: This skin tone is usually very light and can burn easily in the sun.

2. Light: This skin tone is slightly darker than fair and can also burn in the sun.

3. Medium: This skin tone is in the middle of the spectrum and can tan in the sun.

4. Dark: This skin tone is darker and rarely burns in the sun.

5. Deep: This skin tone is the darkest and rarely burns in the sun.

Knowing your skin type and tone can help you choose skincare products that are best suited for your individual needs.
