People with normal skin have small pores, few imperfections (like pimples or blotchiness), relatively insensitive skin, and a shining complexion. People with dry skin have tiny pores that are very hard to see, red patches or blotches on different parts of their skin, a rough complexion, and lines that are more easy to see than on people with other skin types. People with dry skin often deal with flaky or irritated skin. People with oily skin have very large pores, a shiny complexion, and generally have a few imperfections (like pimples) on the oiliest parts of their skin. Sensitive skin means that your skin is often irritated, itchy, red, or dry and cracked.
Keep in mind that over-washing your face can make your skin dry and irritated. If you are having trouble finding a face wash that works well for you, set up an appointment with a dermatologist to discuss your skin type and facial washes that will nourish your skin.
Again, remember to choose a moisturizer that’s suited to your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, go for something gentle and unscented. If you are prone to pimples, try something light that specifically says it is not oily. Drier skin types should go for heavier moisturizers with soothing, nourishing ingredients like shea butter or aloe vera. You can also try using honey as a moisturizer.
Alternatively, you can exfoliate your skin using a clean washcloth soaked in warm water. Rub your face gently with the washcloth, in slow circular motions. This option is good for people with sensitive skin. Never scrub your face too hard with the exfoliator or use it too often. Doing this may dry out your skin and leave it feeling irritated.
Toners that are designed for oily or acne-prone skin can help to remove excess oil and tighten pores, while toners for dry skin can help to soothe irritation and lock in extra moisture. Most toners can be used everyday, after cleansing and before moisturizing.
You can also create a natural face mask by combining turmeric, two teaspoons of lemon juice, honey, milk, tomato puree, and half a cup of besan flour (which is also known as chic pea flour). Apply the mask to your skin, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wash it off.
Use a specific makeup removing product, like a foaming cleanser or cream to remove the make-up, rather than your regular face wash. Use a special eye makeup remover to clean off mascara, eyeshadow and eyeliner.
Look for over-the-counter spot creams and gels which contain ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, both of which are extremely effective when it comes to getting rid of acne. If you are having troubles clearing up your skin, seek the help of a dermatologist. Your dermatologist may be able to recommend medical creams and cleansers, or antibiotics that may help to remove any remaining blemishes.
Try to use SPF 30 or higher and, if possible, find a sunscreen which doubles up as a moisturizer. This will make sunscreen application easy to remember as it can become a part of your morning regimen.
Also keep in mind that rubbing at your face can loosen the skin, causing premature wrinkles.
If you have dry or sensitive skin, use warm water rather than hot water, as hot water can irritate your skin and cause it to become even more dry.
Use a shampoo and conditioner that are suited to your type of hair. In general, try to use a grape-sized dollop of conditioner when you wash your hair. Some people find that rinsing their hair with cool water can help to make their hair shinier and softer.

Clamp the curler around your eyelashes and hold the contraption in place for 10 to 20 seconds. Alternatively, you can make your eyelashes appear thicker by applying a coat of Vaseline to your lashes, and then using an eyelash brush to comb them. You can also try using the back of a spoon to curl your eyelashes if you don’t have a curler.
