Dry Skin
Dry skin reacts somewhat differently to normal skin when exposed to the sun. It tends to burn more easily and when it does burn it also tends to peel.
This will cause the skin to become itchy and this can also be a problem in colder weather too when the skin can become irritated due to dryness.
Where the skin is particularly dry it can become scaly, and sometimes even chapped which will make the skin quite sore.

Cleaning Your Face
You'd think that we would all know how to clean our face; after all we do it every day.
During the course of our daily routines we get a build up of many different impurities on our face that can clog the pores and give us a washed out complexion.
These impurities come from grime, makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum and many other sources. Some of these are a result of the area we live in and others are a result of the way we live. Many of us touch our face throughout the day and many impurities that are on our hands get transferred to our face each time we touch it.

As the Skin Ages
As we age our skin becomes more fragile and the things that we once took for granted need a little more care.
The care that we have given to our skin when we are younger and the lifestyle that we lead will all have a bearing on the condition and the maintenance of the skin as we age.
Older skin will burn more easily when exposed to the sun and it will lack the elasticity of youthful skin.
This will lead to more facial lines particularly around the eyes, mouth and the forehead.

Teenage Skin
The teenage years are generally the most problematic as far as skin condition goes.
The problem is generally caused by sebum. Sebum is the term used by dermatologists for the oil that is produced in the skin and secreted through the pores and this is where most of the problems stem from.
During puberty when the sex hormones are highly active the body produces a lot more sebum from the sebaceous glands that surround the hair follicles.
The epidermis, which is the outer most layer of skin, is constantly shedding dead skin cells.
It is these dead cells that combine with the excess sebum to cause all the problems that many teenagers have to endure.
When the pores get clogged with this combination of sebum and dead skin cells you get pimples, whiteheads and blackheads.
Exfoliation can help to remove the dead skin cells but trying to remove the excess oil that is getting produced can increase the rate of production as the body seeks to replace the oil that has been removed with more.

Skin Types
There are several different classifications for skin types and these are all determined according to the amount of oil that your skin produces.
Your skin type will also affect the types of problems you might have to endure throughout various stages of your life.
Normal skin will have medium sized pores and an even texture. This is obviously the ideal skin and will appear smooth and healthy looking. This skin will have good circulation and color and the only area where there might be a problem is a tendency to become a little dry around the cheeks.
