Skin types dependent on the arrangement of the pores (the sebaceous glands in the skin) and additionally by their action. You need to know that, of course, not all of this just sebum production is not equally in such equally intense. It depends also on some outside tendencies such as: age, how the skin is vascularized, the effects of hormones and the outside temperature.
It should be noticed that during puberty and menopause when sebum production increases dramatically as compared to other periods of life. mineralocorticoides, glucocorticoids and androgens increases the secretion of sebum. Another risk factor is also the cold and poor circulation.
Four types of skin

You should know that all skin, both normal, dry, oily and mixed complexion may be capillaries, may also be sensitive complexion (or even hypersensitive), oily or mixed in certain periods of life can be both acne skin. About acne prone skin I wrote in another article.
Normal Skin
Normal skin is pink, smooth, firm, tight, well-nourished, adequately responds to weather conditions (such as wind, sun, frost) and water and soap. Invisible to the blood vessels, pigmented spots, no problem of peeling, not visible comedones. This skin is only for children up to puberty.
Dry Skin
Dry skin has a bright color, is thin, very flexible, smooth, may be discoloration on it, there is a network of dilated blood vessels, can peel redness reacts to soap, water and weather conditions. Skin aging so quickly, and nurtured properly becomes senile. About twenty years old and beginning to see the first wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and neck, which requires action from the beginning of their existence, because even at a young age the skin becomes thinner, on parchment.
Oily (Fat) skin
Oily skin is the color of yellow-grey, it’s usually quite thick, and a little shiny on the surface. See any pores with blackheads. It is poorly supplied with blood, in the morning often pale, rarely get extended dish. Responds well to weather the cold, wind and sun, and the water and soap. Much greater importance tho this skin is stress, hormonal disturbances, tension and disorders of the digestive system. The relatively late start time of aging. The advantage of oily skin is also the fact that in old age, or older, there is no cure.
The disadvantage is fairly common complication causing acne and a tendency to form congestive changes and unsightly appearance. Oily skin does not occur in childhood. Her symptoms do not appear until after puberty, around 12 years of age, which is associated with increased hormonal stimulation of sexual glands and sebaceous glands.
Mixed Skin
This cera has mixed features of two types of skin: some parts are dry, while others are fat, forehead, nose and chin may be uneven complexion. Most fat is party central belt: forehead, nose, chin. The side sections while they are dry, but sometimes you meet the opposite.
This type of skin care is a difficult and time-consuming because it must follow, as the two types of skin.At the same time there is a mixed skin prone to seborrhea, and abnormal reaction to soap and water, resulting in irritation, redness, burning sensation and skin tightening.
