Skin Type versus Skin Condition: What You Need to Know

Honestly, when was the last time you spoke to an aesthetician about what your skin type and skin condition are? Did you even know there was a difference? Before you buy your next skincare product it's crucial that you know. It's the first step to proper skin care routine. If you're using the wrong products that aren't designed to help your skin type and condition it will result in more frustration and problematic conditions. Don't want that right? Today, we're revealing what you need to know about skin types and skin conditions so you never have to wonder if something is right or wrong for you.



What are skin types?

Skin type is what you are born with. The four most common skin types are normal, oily, dry and combination.

Normal: You're super lucky if you have a normal skin because not only is it the least common skin type but it's the least problematic skin. Normal skin type characteristics:

  • smooth texture
  • healthy glow
  • fine pores
  • no visible blemishes, greasy patches or flaky areas
  • sebum production & moisture content are well-balanced
  • often found in young persons

Oily: Is shiny and often with enlarged pores. Oily skin characteristics:

  • easily gets blackheads
  • blemishes or acne can be a constant battle
  • affects younger people

Dry: Lack of moisture, flaky, sensitive and even painful at time. Dry skin characteristics:

  • dull, especially on the cheeks and around the eyes
  • lack elasticity
  • visible lines and wrinkles
  • Small pores
  • Tightness or itchiness
  • Common in older women

Combination: Combination skin is dry in the cheeks while being oily in the t-zone (nose, forehead, and chin)


What are skin conditions?

Skin conditions are caused by hormones, lifestyle choices, medication, external factors like the weather, and using the wrong products on the skin. Here are the most common ones.

Dehydration: Dry skin and dehydrated may look the same but they aren't. Dry skin is deficient in natural oils (sebum) and dehydrated skin lacks water. Dehydrated skin characteristics:

  • Looks dull
  • Feels tight
  • Feels rough
  • Sensitive
  • Superficial fine lines
  • Itchy

Acne/Pimple: Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil and bacteria. It's not only visible on the face but also on other parts of your body such as; the neck, back and chest. They appear as whiteheads or blackheads.

Sensitive skin: If you have sensitive skin you may have redness. When applying products that contain a lot of fragrance, alcohol, and chemicals you typically feel tingling or stinging.

Acneic: Skin becomes congested and breakouts occur when the hair follicles gets plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Hormone changes, stress, diet and other environmental factors can also result in skin that is acneic-prone.

Aging: The fact is aging is something we all go through. Embrace it. It will be influenced by how we age, our lifestyle choices, the environment and yes, even our genetics. As we age we will experience loss and breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers. The first visible signs of aging include fine lines around the most common areas like the eyes and mouth, lack of tone, pigmentation and large pores.

Non-Ablative Skin Lightening Non-ablative laser lightening is a non-invasive procedure that uses specialized heat to penetrate the skin and treat it. Unlike with ablative laser treatment, which removes the top layer of the skin completely, this lightening treatment only targets the lower layers of skin, triggering the growth of new collagen.

Also, the use of special creams and ointments are usually not necessary. But depending on your skin type, your doctor may also prescribe creams and medication to prevent infection and other side effects from occurring. Since this procedure is less aggressive, more treatments are needed to see significant results. Common non-ablative laser procedures are as follows: Nd: YAG Laser.  This method uses a special type of crystal, known as neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum, to produce a wavelen
