  • DRY SKIN
    Your Tissue will be clean but you will feel a dryness and a tightness on your Skin. As you look at and feel your skin it might look and feel great but extra care will be needed as it is very prone to premature ageing, developing wrinkles and fine pores. You will need to develop a very strict daily care habit and routinely use moisturisers and masks and follow natural skin care tips.
  • OILY SKIN
    Your tissue will have spots of oil on it if your skin is oily. You will find this mainly over your forehead, cheeks and nose. Unfortunately, if you have oily skin, it can cause a lot of problems. It mostly looks greasy with open pores. It becomes shiny, coarse and thick and has the tendency to cause acne. One good thing is that oily skin does not tend to wrinkle or age so readily. One way to help is to avoid rich creams and limit the consumption of carbohydrates. This can really help to improve the quality of your oily skin.
  • COMBINATION SKIN
    If you have Combination skin you have a mix of both oily and dry skin. If you have this type of skin, you’re your nose and forehead will leave spots of oil on your tissue but your cheeks will show nothing. The dry areas round your cheeks and eyes need careful treatment with rich moisturisers and creams while the oily areas, on the nose and forehead should be thoroughly cleaned frequently.
  • SENSITIVE SKIN
    If you have Sensitive skin, you have the most fragile type of skin with more problems. It can become very tender and can easily become irritated and inflamed. It tends to break into spots and has areas of scaliness and redness.
