Skin is that outer covering of the body which through its multiple layers of tissue protects the underlying fragile muscles, ligaments, bones and all the internal organs. Apart from protection, its other functions include insulation, temperature regulation, sensation, synthesis of vitamin D and many more.

All the cosmetics companies have a range of skin care products to provide utmost care to the skin. There are two factors that define the skin types, namely pigmentation and type of skin.

Dry skin doesn’t have any nourishment of its own. It has to have skin-hydration and skin restoration therapy, daily and extensively on a monthly basis through spa-facials or normal dry-skin oriented facial, without fail.

Oily skin is over-nourished, requiring a treatment for removing oil from the glands and clogging the pores. The best way is to remove the oil through regular washing of the face with a mild cleanser, say 4-5 times and apply an astringent to clog the pores. Henceforth, apply a toner to hydrate the skin. Preferably apply a mud face-pack every week to make skin less-oily and glowing.
