With the ever-increasing amount of information being added to the vast online information base on skin care, getting information that is specifically relevant to an individual is becoming increasingly difficult.
Even though search engines are getting more sophisticated and try to provide the most relevant results for your question, they cannot be anything other than reasonably close, but at the same time still remain quite general.
Everyone’s skin is different, we are after all individuals and no two people will have exactly the same skin. Sure, there are 3 basic skin types; oily, normal and dry, but within each of these, there are differences.
For example, some people also have sensitive skin, others have combination skin and in addition, age plays a factor as well. Heredity is another factor that will influence your skin. Depending on your cultural background, there will be additional differences affecting your skin, colour for example.
There are lots of hints and tips on how to care for your skin, but if you don’t know what your specific requirements are, then how do you know which of these hints and tips to follow?
One of the ways you can start to define the needs your skin has is to establish which skin type you have. Then, look at your cultural/genetic influences on your skin and finally consider your age.
So for example, you may have dry & sensitive skin, are from an English (Caucasian) background and are over 40 years young. In other words, you have fair skin that is sensitive and tends to dryness, and your skin is starting to mature.
Now, armed with this information it’s much easier to identify the relevant hints & tips on how to care for your particular skin.
