 Clear, blemish-free and even skin tone are some of the characteristics of healthy and glowing skin. It’s a desire of every woman to have such a complexion. Skin comes in many types of colors and textures. Fair-skinned people are generally considered more beautiful, but skin color alone is not the criterion to determine if someone is more attractive than others.

 Overall health, youthfulness and freshness of the skin also play an important role in determining the complexion of a person. In this post, we are going to look at some practical steps to improve your complexion, but first we’ll discuss various types of skin textures found in the world. So, let’s get started!

     Types of Complexions.

 There are two things that define a complexion: Skin tone and Skin type.

     Skin Tone.

 Tone refers to the color of the skin, which ranges from pale and rosy pale to dark and native. The most common skin tones are light, normal and tan. You are often told to choose a foundation that is the right shade for your skin.

 Choice of a foundation also depends on the type of “undertone” your skin might have. It has been discovered that skin color has the ability to change depending on some external factors, but the undertone almost always remains the same.

   There are three types of undertones:

  • Cool, which refers to shades like pink and blue;
  • Warm, which means the skin is more towards golden or peach undertone;
  • Neutral, which is a combination of both cool and warm.

 Determining your skin undertone will help you choose skincare products that will contribute positively towards a healthy and glowing complexion. If you are not aware of your skin tone and type, you might end up using products that are damaging to your complexion.

 An easy test to determine the undertone is to check the color of the veins on your inner wrist. If they appear to be bluish in color, then you most probably have a cool undertone and if they are of a green shade, then your skin undertone is warm. A combination of blue-green veins indicates a neutral undertone.

     Skin Type.

     When it comes to skin type, there are five categories:

  • Oily skin;
  • Dry skin;
  • Sensitive skin;
  • Combination skin;
  • Normal skin.

 Different skincare products are recommended for each of these types. For example, if you have an oily skin, you would be advised to use a water-based foundation instead of oil-based. People with dry skin are advised to drink plenty of water and stay away from alcohol and carbonated drinks. Dry skin must also be treated with a daily gentle moisturizer or a natural moisturizer, such as coconut oil.

 There are some products especially formulated for sensitive skin, and they don’t irritate the face. Use these products and stick to natural remedies like Aloe Vera gel to keep inflammation and other problems at bay. A toner that contains skin-replenishing ingredients is excellent for all skin types.
