1ST Quarter_Week 7_Facial Care

 1. What are the 5 skin types and in your own words (based on your understanding) explain each.

·         Dry

When the skin is flaky, this is an indication of dehydration. This means that your skin will need to get moisturized, so drinking enough water is the key.

·         Oily

This happens when your skin becomes sticky due to the clogging of the pores. Washing your face is a good way to reduce oiliness along with proper hydration.

·         Normal

This is an indication of healthy skin. This happens when the face is not too oily nor dry.

·         Combination

This is when there are selected parts of the face (usually on the bridge of the nose and chin) that are oily.

·         Sensitive

People with this type of skin should be careful in selecting the skincare products to use. If not, it could cause agitation or irritation and can worsen the condition of the skin.

2. What are the basic steps for facial care and explain each.

·         Cleansing: Wash your face with lukewarm water at least twice a day.

·         Exfoliate: This is done to get rid of the dead skin cells on the face (should only be done once a week).

·         Use Toner: The application of toner removes dirt and grime from the face, which helps pores to tighten.

·         Moisturize: Moisturizer needs to be applied for a few minutes after using the toner. It keeps the skin from drying out.

·         Sunscreen (Optional): Sunscreen needs to apply at least SPF 30 to the skin to protect it from the UV radiations of the sun. A good reminder: it should not be applied during the night because it will cause skin irritation.
