DEFINE THE SKIN TYPE AND THE STATE OF THE SKIN
Knowing your skin type is essential to taking proper care of your face as it allows you to choose the appropriate skin care products. Generally, the skin is defined in 2 ways: according to its type and its state. Skin type becomes evident at around age 15, and includes dry, oily, combination, dehydrated and normal skin. Your skin type may change over time with age, environment, stress and food allergies. The state can be temporary or become permanent. Skin may lack radiance, dehydrated and/or sensitive, display fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, a loss of firmness, or enlarged pores with acne. These different skin types and states may be recognized visually.

4. DRY SKIN
Dry skin is generally associated with a lipid production dysfunction at the epidermal level. Skin dryness is exacerbated by factors like age, cleansers and tonics that are not adapted to the skin type, diet (lack of essential fatty acids), high alcohol consumption, the sun, extreme climate changes and inappropriate protection from these climates. Dry skin results in: - a fine and even skin texture - a matte appearance - constant sensations of discomfort, dryness, and tugging over the entire face - skin irritation and cutaneous sensitivity over the entire face - the appearance of fine lines and roughness over the entire face.

5. COMBINATION AND OILY SKIN
Oily skin is skin that produces too much sebum. This skin type is genetic, but it may also be caused by internal factors (hormonal changes) and external factors (warm, humid climate, cleansing products that are too aggressive or inappropriate for the skin type, leaving the skin unbalanced. In addition, excess sugar content in the diet( soda, juice, and candy and dairy products including yogurt, milk and cheese). The following effects are observed: - an overproduction of sebum, which leaves skin looking shiny, especially in the T-zone - enlarged pores - skin imperfections (blackheads, pimples, localized irritation) - a dull complexion “Combination skin” occurs when the T-zone is oilier than the rest of the face.
6. DEHYDRATED SKIN
Dehydrated skin lacks moisture. Skin may occasionally be affected by the climate change, and skin may become dehydrated. Skin dehydration is exacerbated by factors such as age, cleansers and tonics that are not adapted to the skin type. Sun, extreme climates, and inappropriate protection from these climates can cause dehydrated skin. This skin state results in: - constant sensations of discomfort and localized or occasional tugging of the skin - fine lines and rough skin in the dehydrated areas - a dull complexion, a lack of radiance - “normal” sebum production in the T-zone
7. SENSITIVE SKIN
Skin sensitivity affects all skin types. You may have sensitive skin from birth or it may become sensitive over the course of time because of the use of cosmetic or skin care products which are not adapted to your skin type, your way of life (stress, tobacco use, diet) or due to harmful environmental stresses (climate, pollution, excessive sun exposure). Skin that is sensitive or prone to irritation may be painful and result in blotchiness with rosacea, which may systematically appear upon contact with water or due to stress or climate changes.
