People say that one learns on his own mistakes (in love, profession, family), but if the point is skin care, learn from the experience of your predecessors. This post is about the mistakes you can stay away from relying onto the advices of the elder friends.

Mistake #1

Lots of girls don’t know their skin type as there are few problems that bother them. And they buy the products that they saw their moms, friends used. Meanwhile the choice of the cosmetics is quite an intimate case. There shouldn’t be any fashion following, but only your skin preferences.

Do you know how many problems you can get applying oily creams onto the oily skin? Skin pores simply can’t breathe and be free from the dirt. And what if you put on the drying creams having the normal one?

Conclusion: diagnose your skin type. There are plenty of on-line resources to help you. For example, you can go to the global cosmetic brands sites and pass the tests determining your skin type. Probably, these tests are trustworthy as the brands are interested in selling you the right product so that you could be satisfied with their cosmetics and become their resident buyer. This is the first what you can do staying in the computer chair.

The second one is you should consult the specialist. The consultant-dermatologists provide some perfume and cosmetic salons with free first consultation. Remember, that you should be curious about your skin!

Mistake #2

There are not many girls who know how to clean the skin believing that soap is enough at the age of 18-20. Tightened skin they take as the cleanness indicator. And this is a big mistake! Good soap that matches your skin type shouldn’t dry or tighten the skin. You are lucky if your soap is half creamy. But what if it’s not?

Conclusion: know more about your soap. If your soap peels the lipidic layer daily, if the pH isn’t neutral, if there are some irritations, know that all these will affect your face in the future. Find the products that can clean your face skin harmlessly.

Mistake #3

This paragraph makes sense for those who uses makeup or is going to do it. The conception of modern demakeup is a two-phase procedure. If you use only a wad with cosmetic milk and then wash the face with soap, then you do recklessly! This sort of demakeup choke up the pores and doesn’t care about the skin at all.

Conclusion: clean the skin twice! The first phase should be accomplished with the special makeup removal products (milk or oil), and the second phase is so to say cleaning after cleaning – you should take away the rest of the first-phase-cleaning cosmetics. That would be great if you use a special oil-free gel, mouse or tonic matching your skin type.

Mistake #4

If you skin is pretty dry or peels off regularly, don’t underestimate it. It’s the first sign that your skin is in need of additional nourishment. Lend a hand! Nourish the places that peel most. Apply the nourishing creams onto he problematic skin places. The rest of the skin doesn’t require another cream as it copes to balance the oil without any help. However, modern creams meet the requirements of affecting wholesomely the various skin areas.

What if you think that you belong to the combined skin color type?

Let’s imagine the situation that you can’t determine quite unambiguously the skin color type you’re of. If after thorough consideration you still can’t point out the color season and start thinking that you are of the combined type, let me assure you that you’re probably wrong, because there are no combined skin color types.

The most contradicting fact is that you can see more or less pronounced contrast between the skin, hair and iris within one season type as far as every type has both delicate, light and saturated, dark hues.

Thus, spring season type with golden dark tints in skin and hair can easily resort to the light nuances of the fall type in wardrobe and make up. And visa versa, one with tender and pale skin fall type can go perfect with soft and subdued tones of spring palette.

Something similar happens to the summer type dark tints that can be quite good with delicate hues of winter palette. And – as a very rare exception to the rule – strongly pronounced winter type with rich strong contrast of the skin, hair and eyes color can make use of lively nuances of spring palette.

Going back to the Skin Color Seasons, let’s talk about the winter and summer type that is called cool skin type.

There are some comparative characteristics of this skin color type:

The basic tone of summer nuances – blue. That is why the tints of this type are more subdued, light and fuzzy than the nuances of the same basic tone for winter gamut.

The basic tone of winter nuances – always blue. But they are definitely more exact and clear than the allied summer ones.

Summer tone type women are typical for:

There are 3 variants of the summer skin tone.
1. Smoothly pail face skin tone.

2. The skin is transpierced with the thin vessels of the cold pink hue.

3. Light skin of the olive tone.

The summer tone type gets the tan well (the exception is the extremely light summer skin variants). The skin tint becomes noble, cool olive that never obtains a red subtone.

There are some comparative characteristics of the skin color types:

The basic tone of spring nuances – yellow. That is why the tints of this type are more cheerful and brighter than the nuances of the same basic tone for fall gamut.

The basic tone of fall nuances – red. That is why they look richer, heavier, and of sallower complexion than the allied spring ones.

Now let’s distinguish each type thoroughly.

Spring tone type women are typical for:

• Skin – face transparent paleness, delicate gold tone, slight colour of peach hue. Spring type is characteristic by the natural radiation due to such a face color.

• Freckles – if there are any, they are gold-brown.

• Lips – warm red.

• Eyelashes and eyebrows – they are of the same tint that the hair is (light or brown) but in fact they could be a bit darker than hair.

• Sun tan – spring skin type acquires the tan pretty easy despite the delicate skin color. The skin gets the warm reddish-honey, gold-brown or dark-brow hue (that is the main distinction from the fall skin color type that doesn’t tan so well).

• Hair – these are the blonds. Hair tint is goldish or red. There are light and middle dark hues, but there are gold-yellow or gold-red tints in any case too. Spring type women go best with gold-yellow, honey, gold-reddish, copper-red hues when dyeing or streaking.

• Eyes – natural eye colors are: delicate-blue, grey-blue, grey-green, light brown, turquoise.

• Face skin color – the basic tone – cool, that’s why the skin looks tender and noble.

Fall tone type women are typical for:

• Skin – 2 skin color sorts:

1. Even-light, warm ivory or goldish champagne hues.

2. Bright gold-beige or peach tones (this tint is darker than the one of the spring type and colourless).

• Freckles – the fall color type is characteristic by the red or yellow-brown freckles and moles.

• Lips – all women of this color type have bright lips.

• Eyebrows – brown or reddish. There are thick but too light eyelashes very often.

• Sun tan – fall type women get the tan not so well in comparison with the spring type one (the skin becomes red but doesn’t tan).

• Hair – saturated red, gold-red, and just red tints but there are also some pretty dark nuances. Such hair color set off the skin paleness showily. If you dye your hair regularly try warm tints shot with red: from red-gold to chestnut-coloured but avoid cool bluish hues (like mahogany) as they create a poor contrast between the warm face and cold hair colors.

• Eyes – amber yellow, nut-brown, dark-brown, motton blue, turquoise-blue, green and yellow-green.

Celebs of the warm skin tone: Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Fergie, Charlize Theron, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jennifer Lopez and so on.

There are colors that fit you perfectly. You look fresh and dynamic wearing them. But there are also colors that make you look tired and pale or what is worse, your skin seems to be of unhealthy red / gray-yellow tints. You probably know it by experience.

There is a relatively easy method that helps to orientate in the color problems: the so-called season theory. The thery is based on teh assumption that all people can be divided into 4 skin color types according to the seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter.

This theory will help you to distinguish your own type by the colouring of your hair, eyes, skin and will show you the color nuances on the example of red, blue and green colors.

Such knowledge will bring you lots of pleasure, especially if the success is obvious: all your wardrobe clothes fit each other.

So, let’s get to the point.

Spring and autumn are characteristic for yellow-red tints (warm) in the skin-eyes-hair pigmentation.

Summer and winter are typical for blue hues predominance (cold) in the skin-eyes-hair pigmentation.

But how to define which type you go to?

There are a lot of different skin types. And it’s nessesary to know your skin type for good care and for choosing the right  cosmetics products.

You can determine your skin types at home.

1. Clean your face with a skin liquid cleanser, then wash and clap dry.  Wait for one hour.

2. Make note where your skin senses “tight.”

3. Pressure a separate piece of facial tissue onto each area of your face: nose, chin, center of cheeks, outer cheeks, center of forehead and outer forehead.

4. Inspect each tissue and look for oily mark or flaky skin residue.

5. See results:

• If the whole tissue was oily that indicates an oily skin type.
• If there is oil on only some tissues ( T-zone, which is the center of forehead, nose, chin and center of cheeks)it means you have a combination skin type.
• Flaky residue on all papers,  without oily marks – or a tight feeling in the skin shows a dry skin type.
• No oil and no flaky on any parts of the cosmetic tissue indicates a normal skin type.
