How Can I Know My Body Skin Type?

Everyone knows that facial skin differs from one to another, but it is not well known that this applies to body skin as well! So, what is the difference between normal, dry and sensitive body skin?! And how can you take care of it?

Knowing your body skin type is an essential step in understanding the regimen that you should do in your daily routine:

• Normal body skin: The permanent fresh, healthy, vital skin, that is free from signs of dryness, cracking and irritation.
• Dry body skin: The irritated, constantly itchy skin, that has a rough and an unhealthy appearance, and the more dry it becomes, the more these symptoms worsen.
• Sensitive body skin: The skin that gets irritated and reddened after direct exposure to external factors, such as incompatible perfume products, direct sunlight, etc.

It is possible to have more than one type of skin depending on the area. For example; you may have normal skin on your hands and legs, dry skin on knees and elbows, and sensitive skin on the armpits.

Just like facial skin, body skin needs constant care. Healthy skin is not only good, but also beautiful, and taking care of it needs the following:

• Cleaning: You need to shower with a special body lotion suitable to your skin type to keep it clean and protected from the proliferation of harmful bacteria that cause acne and bad odor.
• Scrubbing: You can use ingredients from your kitchen to prepare your natural scrub once a week. Mix half a cup of ground coffee with half a cup of coarse sugar and 3 tablespoons of olive oil to make a natural scrub that you can use while showering by rubbing the skin in a circular motion to get rid of dry skin cells.
• Moisturizing:

Take care of your body skin as part of your routine, don't let dry skin undermine your beauty, and always keep the highly moisturizing and most effective NIVEA lotions by your side.
