Understanding your skin types are especially Important . Here are four basic types of healthy skin:
Normal
combination
oily
dry
Skin type is determined by genetics and environmental factors. Knowing your skin type is very important for choosing the best skin care treatments and products to use in your skin care regimen. Customizing your personal skin care routine will help promote optimal skin health, delay the signs of aging, and highlight your best features for natural beauty.
When it comes to your skin, there are many products you can and can't use. If you have oily skin, it's best to stay away from petroleum-based products. You want to use products that are gentle, natural, and will not dry your skin out.
Skin is healthiest when it is neither too oily nor too dry.
Oily skin occurs in factors related to diet, hereditary, stress, and hormonal imbalance. Women during pregnancy, menstruation or menopause are much more prone to having oily skin.
How will you know if you have oily skin?
Your pores seem enlarged and are visible. Your skin may look thicker and paler.
You are Prone to various forms of acne, especially in the T- Zone (forehead, nose and chin)area.
Your skin appears to be shiny or greasy, and oily skin looks plumper and less aged.
The Best way to combat oily skin is to wash your face every morning when you get up, in the evening before bedtime, and always after exercise. Choose a skin care product that are labeled “oil free” and “noncomedogenic.” I use BB creams and don't wear a lot of makeup, also I found that 50% alcohol helps my skin from oiliness and dosen't dry it out. Also, use a gentle, foaming face wash. I like to use Cetaphil, a gentle face cleanser. DON’T use oil-based or alcohol-based cleansers. These can irritate your skin. (Oils) tends to build a heavy layer, causing pores to clog and acne to form. I am a Huge Coconut oil user, I use coconut oil on my body, but I cannot use it on my face. It breaks my face out every time.

To Moisturize or to not
Reasons you should be moisturizing.
When using the right kind of moisturizer for your skin, it can help maintain its balance, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes, and help maintain that youthful look. When skin is too dry or too oily, many skin problems like acne pop up. The most sensitive areas of your skin are the face, neck, ears, and the chest. Moisturizing can help give your sensitive skin the boost it needs to repair and maintain itself and to stay healthy. It is important to keep the skin moisturized, because our skin is a barrier against infection.
Both men and women can benefit from using a facial moisturizer every day. Moisturizing your face will help you to look and feel younger, you will have softer, more elastic skin, and it will keep your skin hydrated.
What happens if you don't moisturize? Well, your skin looks dull and dry. Your skin will start to flake and appear dry over a prolonged period. It can actually age the skin. When your skin is dry and dehydrated, it shows more visible lines, and wrinkles you already have that you didn't really notice before, because your skin was moisturized, will start to show more as your face dries out and breakouts could get worse.
Moisturizers these days have Sunscreen SPF in them, and if you're skipping moisturizer, you're probably also skipping the sunscreen too, which could lead to sun damage.
Moisturizers create a barrier, so when you do use harsh products like salicylic acid or retinoids, you can lose that extra layer of protection and end up with redness and peeling on your skin.
When applying makeup, it can look caked up and showing into the fine lines, so it will be more visible if you don't moisturize. Your face will also feel itchy and tight.
So the best remedy is to moisturize every day to stay youthful, glowing, and to keep your skin looking healthy and hydrated.
