Want to start looking better quickly?  Be sure you're using the right treatments.  You need to know what type of skin you have.  Most of us begin life with normal skin.  Through the years, the environment, what we eat and drink, hormones, and other factors contribute to changes and challenges.  There are three types of skin:  dry, oily, and combination.

Dry skin has a fine texture with small pores.  It often feels "tight", and is prone to broken capillaries.  Dry skin should be kept away from weather extremes, especially harsh winds.  Don't bother with soap.  In the morning, dry skin only needs a splash of water to remove excess oils.  Don't use any toners containing alcohol.  Witch Hazel is the perfect toner for dry skin.  Always follow up with a rich moisturizer.  Use a mild cold cream at night to remove makeup and to cleanse.

Oily skin has large and visible pores.  The oil is especially prominent on the nose, forehead, and chin.  The skin is prone to blemishes and blackheads.  Although it seems logical to get at these eruptions with aggressive products, this only makes oily skin worse.  There is not a better cleanser than powdered milk mixed with water.  It is a lactic acid wash that will not only cleanse the skin, but also exfoliate debris.  Lemons are a great toner to keep on hand to restore the pH balance.  Finish with an oil-free moisturizer.  Although it may not seem necessary to use moisturizer at all if your skin is extremely oily, you should always moisturize under your eyes.  Use an eye gel, not a cream.

Combination skin is actually two skin types on one face.  Skin is usually oily only in the T-zone of the face (nose, forehead, and chin) while dry elsewhere.  Don't be overly aggressive with the oily area and neglect the dry spots.  Use powdered milk to wash and exfoliate, use lemon toner only in the T-zone, then concentrate moisturizing to the dry zones.
