Knowing Your Skin Type and How to Treat Your Skin at Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so knowing how to take care of it is important. At Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center we offer the best skin care products and skin care treatments in South Florida. But, before we can start helping you take care of it and giving it what it needs, you need to know what type of skin you have.

Everyone’s skin is different and as you age the skin type you had as a teenager may evolve into a different type later in life – so it’s key to be aware of that too.

There are different factors that affect what type of skin you have such as the amount of water in your skin (which affects its elasticity), the amount of oil (which affects its texture), and how sensitive it is.

The three main types of skin are dry, oily and combination.

Here’s how to determine which type you have.

Normal skin is exactly what the name suggests – it is neither too oily or too dry. It’s not overly sensitive with little imperfections or visible pores.

Dry skin can peel, become itchy or irritated. It gives off a dull complexion usually with red patches and more visible fine lines. If you have dry skin, it is critical to avoid tanning beds, certain ingredients in lotions and makeup and certain medications that may also cause dry skin to get worse.

Oily skin has a shiny complexion with enlarged pores and pimples or blemishes. Puberty, hormonal imbalances or even stress can cause your skin to turn oily.

Now that you know what type of skin you have, Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center offers the best products on the market to help treat and maintain a glowing and healthy skin complexion. We have acne pads to help with breakouts and clogged pores, blemish cream to get rid of those stubborn pimples, facial moisturizing sunscreen to moisturize while protecting the skin from those nasty ultraviolet rays, and a variety of restorative serums to help with the appearance of fine lines and surface wrinkles.

If you are looking for a treatment to help with your specific skin type or issues associated with your skin type – we can also help. If your skin is oily and is suffering from acne we have several chemical peels and laser treatments to help. If you have eczema, which causes red dry patches that can become itchy, we have revolutionary laser treatment for that too.

Other factors to keep in mind while using our products or during our treatments that are like a secret formula for great skin include:

Refraining from smoking

Always wearing sunscreen

Limiting sun exposure

Staying hydrated

Moisturizing twice per day

Washing your face before bed.
