Getting to Know Your Skin: Understanding Skin Types and Needs

Understanding your skin type is essential for achieving a radiant and healthy complexion. At the Medical Aesthetic Center, our professional and highly skilled team is dedicated to helping you identify your skin’s unique needs and recommend tailored solutions.
There are five primary skin types: normal, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive. Normal skin is well-balanced, with a smooth texture and minimal imperfections. Oily skin, characterized by enlarged pores and a shiny appearance, requires specific products to manage excess oil and prevent breakouts. Dry skin often feels tight and may show signs of flakiness, necessitating rich moisturizers and hydrating treatments. Combination skin displays characteristics of both oily and dry skin, typically with an oily T-zone and dryness in other areas. Lastly, sensitive skin is prone to irritation and redness, requiring gentle, hypoallergenic products.
Recognizing your skin type can significantly impact your skincare routine. For example, if you have oily skin, using oil-free products can help control shine and minimize breakouts. Conversely, individuals with dry skin should focus on nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to restore moisture.
At the Medical Aesthetic Center, we offer personalized consultations to help you understand your skin’s needs better. Our experts will analyze your skin type and recommend treatments and products that promote optimal skin health.
