1st Things 1st: Know Ur Skin
Normal skin
‘Normal’ is a term widely used to refer to well-balanced skin. The scientific term for healthy skin is eudermic.
Normal skin has:
- fine pores
- good blood circulation
- a velvety, soft and smooth texture
- a fresh, rosy colour uniform transparency
- no blemishes
Oily skin
‘Oily’ is used to describe a skin type with heightened sebum production. This over production is known as seborrhea.
Oily skin is characterised by:
- enlarged, clearly visible pores
- a glossy shine
- thicker, pale skin: blood vessels may not be visible
Oily skin is prone to comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and to the varying forms of acne

Dry skin
‘Dry’ is used to describe a skin type that produces less sebum than normal skin. As a result of the lack of sebum, dry skin lacks the lipids that it needs to retain moisture and build a protective shield against external influences.
Dry skin
Mildly dry skin can feel tight, brittle and rough and look dull. Skin elasticity is also low.
Very dry skin
If the dryness is not treated, skin may develop:
- mild scaling or flakiness in patches
- a rough and blotchy appearance (sometimes it appears to be prematurely aged)
- a feeling of tightness
- possible itchiness

- Every good skin care routine starts with a fresh slate—meaning washing your face should be a non-negotiable part of your beauty regimen, no matter the time of year.

- humidity and dry out your skin. Plus, taking long, hot showers—most likely one of your favorite cold weather activities—can also be drying to your skin.
- According to the AAD, the best time to apply moisturizer is when your skin is still damp because this helps lock in hydration.
- ‘Pores are not temperature-sensitive. Hot water can make the outer layers of skin swell, which makes pores look more “open”. but they don’t open and close based on temperature. When washing, water should be kept at a lukewarm temperature.’
- Start using your humidifier
- Take quick warm (not hot) showers
- Don’t use harsh soap
- Use a multitasking moisturizer
- Give your hands extra TLC
- Soften your soles
