 The physiology of each individual skin type, the use of cosmetics is not suitable for the skin type, can not only not the best way affect its everyday condition, but also accelerate the aging process. Dry skin of all types of existing needs very careful care, even if it does not suffer from any problems.
Unbeatable dryness
Dry skin can be of several types, each of which requires appropriate care. Deliberate care must begin at a young age. The skin reflects the state of the whole organism, so the external care is not enough, need constant replenishment from the "inside" in the form of vitamins and balanced nutrition.
The first type,
dry skin with good tone
Found only in young people. She has a great look, but it is very sensitive to external stimuli. Throughout the year when washing with soap and water (and even when washing with special means) there is a feeling of tightness, skin tone somewhat reduced. However, there are no wrinkles on the skin surface mat, with small pores. In the absence of proper care quickly enough there are processes of aging, dry skin quickly loses elasticity.
The second type,
dry skin with reduced tone
It observed in about 30 years of age. She still looks good, is characterized by small pores, it seems smooth and silky. The first "trouble" so the skin will mimic wrinkles around the eyes and lips, increasing over the years and stood out dry capillaries. Careful care, otherwise the skin loses tone and becomes pronounced sagging.
The third type,
atopic dry skin
Insufficient even systematic cosmetic treatment, it is only required professional care, or after 40 years of irreversible processes in the structure of the skin. Fading dry skin is very thin and shows the deep wrinkles, visibly and rapidly aging skin on the neck. For this type of skin is also characterized by pale and lack of elasticity.
Several classical tests for self-determination of the type of skin
1. Test for fat
performed by the tissue paper without cosmetics on skin several hours after washing.
Tissue paper is carried out with light pressure on the forehead, nose and chin, resulting in a slip of paper appear one after the other three spots. Then the edge of the strip is pressed against the cheeks - to give a total of five spots, three in the middle and two on the sides.
If the paper is dry and free of grease stains, the skin can be attributed to the dry type.
When an oily stains only in the middle of the paper strip the skin is likely to belong to the normal type.
If all five of oily stains the skin can be attributed to fatty type.
What matters is the intensity of greasy stains: mild, moderate or severe.
2. Test for Compression
: Thumb applied to the skin on the cheek, lightly pressed and then gently withdrawn to the skin side. If there is resistance to pressure and rotation of the test is negative - this indicates a normal tone and elasticity.
In case of fine wrinkles that disappear after the removal of the pressure immediately, the test is weakly positive - just typical for dry skin with reduced tone.
If the skin is susceptible to pressure, even weak, there is free rotation and the formation of wrinkles when pressed, the test is positive - is characteristic for atopic dry skin.
3. The test for the formation of skin folds
: Carried out with gentle squeezing of the skin on the face with two fingers. If the skin fold to form a hard skin "rubber" - a great tone. If you can form a crease, but the skin once aligned - a good tone, but the skin can be a little flabby. Skin folds on the face are formed randomly in those areas where the skin droops, or they can easily form, and folds remain visible for a long time - the skin is flabby.
4. The evaluation of the surface structure of the skin and pores
inspection carried out by the skin through a magnifying glass under strong light. In this study will significantly excessive sebum, blocked pores, the formation of wrinkles and other elements that are not visible to the eye. Such research will help find the right competent care.
Hardware methods of research of the skin
Hygrometers
- This method allows to determine the level of surface hydration.
Sebometriya
- Determination of the total amount of lipid on the skin surface.
Determination of skin relief
- The breadth and depth of wrinkles.
Measurement of the pore size.
Determining the degree of keratinization of the skin
- The quantity of keratin scales in the most superficial layer of the skin.
Determination of the regeneration capacity of the skin
- Time updates on the stratum corneum.
Through various techniques can also be determined
degree of elasticity and skin sensitivity
.
Finally, the measured such a complex figure as
"Transepidermal water loss"
- Determining the amount of water evaporating from the surface of the epidermis.
Hardware techniques used in those complex cases where visual inspection is not possible to ascertain the problem of dry skin. Even sufficiently qualified is not always in the correct visual examination will assess your skin. The results of the study help to choose the hardware necessary methods of correction and cosmetic preparations.
