Everyone’s skin is almost as unique as their fingerprints, but there are four general skin types (besides normal skin): combination, dry, oily, and sensitive. Figuring out and understanding the type of skin you have will help you determine morning and night skincare routines that work for you to suit your skin’s needs and help you reach any skin goals you have. Just like how our bodies change as we age, so does our skin, which means your skin type can change as you age. Your skin type is determined by a few things:

• The amount of water in your skin
  • This affects comfort and elasticity of your skin
• The amount of oil in or on your skin
  • This affects the softness and smoothness of your skin
• The level of sensitivity your skin is.

People that have dry skin typically deal with cracking and peeling along with itchy, irritated, and even inflamed spots all over their face. They have very small pores, almost invisible to the naked eye. Their complexion is dull looking and rough, making fine lines much more visible. There is also a tight feeling that comes with dry skin due to the lack of elasticity they suffer from. The issue of dry skin can be the result of various things, such as:

• • Your genes
  • Aging skin or change in hormones
  • Weather conditions like wind, sun, or cold
  • Long, hot baths or showers
  • Ingredients within products used on the skin

Developing proper skincare routines using high-quality products is the best way to help the issues that may result from having dry skin. Keep reading to find morning and night skincare routines using KS Esthetics products to help those with dry skin!
