Skin Care Priorities

 PRETTYGRLMAG: Daily Dose of Glam Lessons


Modern day beauty can feel like a big task to keep up with when you’re lost and confused about where to start. Beauty trends are changing by the day, but fortunate enough for our pretty girls, this is what PrettyGirlMag is here for. Our beauty tips will keep you up to date like an absolute pro (you’d look like a pro too!)


Having a freshly cleaned face is one of the most important beauty factors. Knowing how to properly take care of your skin and avoid damaging it. Not only is this beneficial for applying makeup, but who doesn’t want smooth clean skin?! Today’s blog will cover skin textures and some of the best dermatologist approved skin care products suitable for each listed skin texture.


Beauty Tip: Knowing your skin texture is needed because in order to properly treat your skin, you need to know what will help treat it in a beneficial way and what might irritate and affect it harshly.


There are 5 distinct skin texture types: Normal, dry, oily, combination (both a mix of oily and dry), and sensitive. Do you know your skin texture? If not, with each listed texture, there will be a brief description and an image so that you can know which category you identify with.


Normal: Skin that does not react bad to a broad amount of products. Most products work for this skin type despite it being used specifically for dry or oily skin. There is no overreaction and a high tolerance for most ingredients.

Dry: Rough flakey skin is a sign of dry skin. This skin type can cause hash patches of skin and it’s due to the lack of moisturization and hydration to the skin. However, there can be underlying health issues such as eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, etc. [view sensitive skin] Seek a dermatologist for additional help if needed.

Oily: Our skin produces natural oils, however when a person has larger pore, these oils can become too excessive to the skin.

Combination: Those who contain both dry and oily skin belong in this category. Distinct spots on the face may contain one skin texture, as for another containing a different one. Sometimes, the skin will consist of just one, but change regularly (back and forth between the two) depending on seasons.

Sensitive: Those who deal with skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or experience red skin, itchiness, or burning are categorized in the sensitive skin category. The skin reacts to harsh ingredients within certain products, which can cause a “breakout.”

Beauty Tip: Speaking to a dermatologist if ever concerned or curious about your skin.


To start off, here is a list of products to avoid using as a face cleanser.

            -  St. Ives Apricot Scrub     -  Biore Face Strips

   

            -  Cetaphil Gentle Cleans                 -  Makeup wipes

             

     


Beauty Tip: If it smells TOO good then it’s TOO good to be TRUE.


A lot of bad skin products smell like flowers; and pretty girls love a good scent! It may be hard to not pick up something that looks cute, eye-catching, and smells just as good as it looks; however some of the worst products are portrayed this way. According to healthline.com the face cleansers listed above are a big no-no. After plenty of studies, and even court trials, it was proven that these products have done more harm than good to the consumers using them. Dermatologists have discovered that St. Ives Apricot Scrub can cause microtears due to the the ingredients used to create exfoliation (the removal of dead skin cells.) A lawsuit took place and the verdict was proven to be true. To read more on this topic, here is a Healthline article with further explanation.
