Understanding Your Skin Care Needs

There are four basic skin types:
  • Dry
  • Normal
  • Combination and oily
Each skin type has its own characteristics.

Dry skin is characterized by small pores and a matte (dull) finish with little or no superficial oil or shine. Expression lines are quick to form on dry skin, especially around the eyes and mouth. Dry skin is more common in women over 50 and in those who live in low-humidity climates. Dry skin can develop among women who don’t protect their skin.

You need a product that soften, lubricate and restore needed moisture and make lines less noticeable and help reduce flakiness.


Normal skin is healthy-looking skin with a smooth texture. It contains a balance of oil and moisture and has infrequent blemishes or clogged pores. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this type of skin until late in life.

The product needs to maintain moisture balance for a healthy, radiant glow and refine the skin’s texture and leave it clean and refreshed.

Skin Combination skin is healthy-looking skin with a smooth texture and some oiliness in the T-zone areas (the area forming a "T" across the forehead and down the nose and chin) with some signs of dryness on the cheeks and outer edges of the face. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this type of skin until late in life.

The product must help to control excess oil in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) and make pores appear smaller and hydrate dry areas. Oily Skin Oily skin results when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, giving skin a shiny appearance. Sometimes a greasy or sticky feel remains for several hours after cleansing. It is also characterized by larger pores than other skin types and is more prone to breakouts, clogged pores and blemishes. Oily skin may tend to wrinkle less readily than drier skin types. The large amount of oil on the skin’s surface helps the upper layers retain water and protects the skin from environmental causes of dryness.

So, to maintain a balance for oily skin the products needs to help control surface oiliness, leaving skin feeling smooth and looking radiant and deep clean pore openings of impurities and oily buildup. This also helps makeup stay fresher longer.

Mary Kay Skin Care Terms

This list of common Mary Kay skin care terms that can help you understand the basics of skin care.

  • Acne — A skin condition consisting of blemishes (blackheads, whiteheads, pimples or cysts) which is probably a result of a buildup of keratin proteins, bacteria and oils in some hair follicles.
  • Adipose Tissue — A type of connective tissue that contains stored cellular fat providing cushion support and energy storage for the body.
  • Antioxidants — Known to be defenders against free radicals.
  • Cellulite — A dimpled or orange-peel appearance of skin in the hips, thighs and buttocks. As the connective tissues beneath the dermis stiffen, either as an effect of aging or due to swollen cellulite-causing cells, they pull down where they connect to the dermis, resulting in “dimples” on the skin’s surface. These “dimples” are often referred to as orange peel, or commonly, cellulite.
  • Collagen — Fibrous protein in the dermis that gives skin its firmness and resiliency.
  • Comedogenic — Causes blackheads, whiteheads or other blemishes.
  • Dermis — Layer of cells beneath the epidermis.
  • Elastin — A protein similar to collagen found in skin which provides skin the ability to stretch and return to its original shape.
  • Emollient — An ingredient or product that “locks in” the moisture already in the skin, retarding its evaporation and making the skin feel softer.
  • Epidermis — The outermost layer of skin that constantly regenerates itself. The top level of cells is dead skin cells, and underneath are living cells that push their way up to the surface, then die and flake off.
  • Exfoliant — An ingredient or product (a grainy scrub cream, for example) used to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the epidermis.
  • Free Radicals — Unstable, reactive molecules that are produced by normal chemical reactions in the body and are thought to attack cell structures, potentially affecting skin elasticity and firmness.
  • Humectant — An ingredient that helps skin retain moisture.Hydrate — To restore the normal level of moisture to the skin.

  • Non-comedogenic — Indicates a product has been shown through clinical testing not to clog pores.

Mary Kay Cosmetics Makeup and Skin Care Product Use

Fascination with makeup occurred at a young age. But when we start experimenting, we don’t always use the best face, body and cosmetic products. This is truly because we can only afford the stuff from the five and dime.

As we mature, we learn that our skin requires special attention. It takes a little time and effort to maintain good skin that is glowing and totally flawless. Sometimes, based upon your skin type, special care needs to be taken. Such as a customized products for acne. So you should care for your skin as it asks you to. It shows you what needs to be done to keep it healthy.

There are five essential steps for good skin care:

  • Cleanse: Removes makeup, impurities, excess oil and environmental pollutants
  • Exfoliate: Exfoliates dead surface cells to re-texture and refine the skin's surface
  • Freshen: Completes the cleansing process as it helps tone, soothe and re-hydrate the skin
  • Moisturize: Increases skin's ability to retain moisture and forms a protective shield to reduce moisture evaporation and improve skin's resilience and elasticity.
  • Protect: Evens skin tone for a flawless finish and shields from the environment

Note: A Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 15 helps protect skin from premature aging due to incidental sun exposure.

Your skin may require customized skin care and color products. For instance, you may need to:

  • Smooth and softens fine facial lines
  • Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduce puffiness under the eyes

Sensitive skin is defined as skin easily irritated by topically applied products or environmental factors. Be sure that you use a customized skin care and color product that says "suitable for sensitive skin".

Blemish-Prone Skin - Acne or blemish-prone skin is a remarkably common skin condition. While many adolescents may experience acne, this condition also can appear for the first time in adults in their 20s or 30s or even later in life. Generally, however, if you had acne as a teenager, you are more likely to have it again as an adult. Eighty to 100 percent of all teenagers have acne to some degree, and an increasing number of adult women also have some acne. It may require a dermatologist’s care.

Most customized skin care products fit the specific skin care needs of most people. It takes a little time to determine what is actually needed by use. Symptoms of extremes in skin types, such as acne, overly dry or oily, can be improved through proper skin care use. It’s very important to remember that skin care products and cosmetics will help the skin look and feel good, but will not cure skin disorders. That’s when dermatology care is worth investigating.

Note: In addition, once acne is present, excessive scrubbing or frequent cleansing will not control it, and any rough manipulation of the skin may further irritate and inflame the lesions or even lead to the formation of new acne lesions.

When choosing a color cosmetics always go for the latest trends. It’s usually refreshing and fun to make the change. This also ensures assures freshness of the products.

Pamper and care for your skin all over. Use the very best in body care. Layer your body care products on the skin before applying the fragrance because it can extend the wear time of the fragrance.
