Do you know what skin type you have? Discover it with a little help from Raz*War.

 There are various skin types. Raz*War will introduce you to the 4 more common ones among men: oily, combination/normal, sensitive and dry.

Raz*War did not invent them; It is a basic and worldwide classification. 

To identify which one is yours, do the test.
  • Simply wash your face.
  • Rinse it until it is clean and really dry
  • Wait around 1 hour (do not do that before going to work but preferably on a weekend or when you go home at the end of the day). 
  • After that check your chin, center of cheeks, outer cheeks, center of forehead, outer forehead and nose, look for oily residuals. 
  • Last step is to try to identify which skin you have regarding which part are oily. 
Your skin type is defined by the quantity of oil it produces. 

Type 1: Oily
Here you will have the impression to be “shining” all around your cheeks, nose, forehead an chin. The pores of an oily skin are enlarged. This type of skin can be difficult to handle and can be more likely to have some acne and blackheads. 
Men with oily skin can be happy because their skin will tend to be less wrinkled over the years !

Type 2: Combination/normal
This type of skin is the easiest to care and to daily protect. It will go toward dryness on the cheeks while being oily in the “T-zone”, meaning  forehead, nose and chin. Here the size of the pores are medium and the texture is not so greasy but softer. 

Men with normal skin are the luckiest.

Type 3: Sensitive
In this sensitive type we could have guess that the pores are really fine, the skin is really thin and can be really delicate. This skin type will easily develop redness and it can be irritated really fast. This skin type will need a daily special care. 

Men who have this kind of skin will directly know it because they use the same products since a lot of years and they fight every morning against the shaving or environmental aggressions.

Type 4: Dry
The dry skin can also tend to become easily irritated and the pores are also really fine. The skin will tend to be tight each time the faces moves.
You will see appear in some areas white skin zones, these areas will appear if nothing is done to moisturize the skin.  
When you have this kind of skin you will need to avoid really hot water because it will tend to dry it even more.

I hope these small explanations helped you find which type skin you have.
In a future post we will explain which Raz*War products to use in function of your skin type.

Until next time,
