Cosmetics are meant to improve our natural beauty and take care of our skin. All cosmetic items promise to work on each individual, but the reality is that cosmetics react according to the type of skin we have. Some create allergic reactions on the skin, rashes and skin irritations. What we use on our faces needs careful consideration, as the wrong products can cause breakouts, blackheads and whiteheads. Heavy greasy products can clog your pores and cause breakouts. Skin types are mainly dry, oily, sensitive and normal. People with normal skin types usually have to focus on preserving their skin the way it is, without causing it damage and negative reactions.

Dry skin can be natural or occur when there is less humidity in the air. Gels and soaps are not ideal cleansers if your skin is dry. Creamier body washes and gentle cleansers are suitable, while smooth lotions which are hydrating and not too strong can be used to moisturise the skin. Lavender, coconut oil and sunflower oil based products are good for dry skin. Using moisturisers frequently prevents the skin from drying. Exfoliate your skin to help it absorb moisture but at the same time avoid the use of abrasive products or tools. Find good quality products from reliable brands. You can buy discounted yet branded cosmetics in UK by checking for promotions, sales and bargains. People with oily skin too need to moisturise. There are products which do not cause extra oil secretion and control the oily nature of the skin. Each skin type requires certain nutrients to remain healthy.

Sensitive skins are prone to allergies, negative reactions and other pigmentations. If you have sensitive skin, you should test out new products and treatments on small patches on your skin for allergic reactions. Harsh chemical substances in cosmetic and makeup products can cause your skin to discolour, irritate and peel off. The ingredients in most high quality brands are scientifically tested for side effects and allergies.

The best way to test which products work on your skin better is to use them, but do not overdo it by applying all the products you come across.
