How to Realize Your Skin (week 2)

Hello, readers!

Today I am going to introduce the skin, before making up yourself; do you really know what the functions of skins are? Do you know which your skin type is and how to care your face?

First of all, the skin not just gives us appearance and shape, but it serves other important functions. The functions are what our skin has:
(1) Protection means that skin can avoid moisture loss and external water coming, excessive ultraviolet rays destroying, bacteria invading, and protecting internal organs from outside pressure and injury.
(2) Regulation means that our body temperature can be regulated by blood capillary’s contraction and dilation, and sweat glands’ secretion.
(3) Sensation means that by nerve ending, people can feel touch, hot, cold, and pain.
(4) Control of evaporation[1] means that skin can eliminate toxins by sweat glands’ secretion.
(5) Storage and synthesis means that skin can generate Vitamin D by moderate ultraviolet rays.
(6) Absorption means that skin can not only absorb water, but also nutrition from cosmetic products.

Secondly, by knowing skin types, we can realize how to care our face and find the correct products which are suitable for ourselves. The skin types are:
(1) Dry skin means that the skin is abnormal dry and rough, and it can be caused by the weather, lack of vitamin A, systemic[2] illness, overexposure to sunlight, and so on. The skin loses moisture, so it may crack, peel, or become inflamed and itch.
(2) Oily skin means that the skin exudes oil, causing a shiny, wet appearance. There are many causes for oily skin such as poor diet and genetic predisposition[3]; besides, too many oil may cause pores be blocked and become pimples or other else.
(3) Combination skin means that your face most has an oily zone which includes your forehead, nose, and chin, but the rest of your skin has normal to dry patches. By the way, this kind of skin types is very common among people.
(4) Normal skin means that the skin has an even tone, soft, a smooth texture, no visible pores or blemishes, and no greasy patches or flaky areas.
(5) Sensitive skin means that the skin is a thin or a fine-textured skin. It reacts quickly to heat and cold; thus, it sunburns and wind burns easily. It is commonly dry, delicate and prone to allergic reactions. Temperature changes, some detergents, cosmetics and alcohol can all cause irritation, leaving the skin red and blotchy, with visible surface veins.

By introducing the skin, can you figure out which kind of skin types do you have? The following vedios are teaching people how to use correct methods to care your skin, and hoping they can really help you.

Do you really know how to use them?





Hello my dear readers, thanks for willing to read my blog.

I am the girl who is now a senior student in English Language and Literature Department at TCU, and I will graduate after 3 months.

I think to write a blog which is about what I am interesting in is really great, so COSMETOLOGY become the first choice in my mind. The reasons why I start to write my blog is that this is one part of my homework, but the most important and serious reason is that I want to do the research about COSMETOLOGY and share to everybody.

People love beauty, and so do I. To beautify ourselves isn't bad, because we can use it every place and every time. Why I want to choose this is that I am now taking the cosmetics lessons and have to take cosmetology license later, for learning it I can apply it when I need to work, have interviews, take part in some formal occasions. To write something related to cosmetic can not only make me learn hard about it, but also make a win-win situation like sharing to readers.


The following weeks I will introduce how to realize the skin, the basic skin-care concepts, the professional skin-care methods, how to use the cosmetic tools, how to make-up and so on.
Hoping that you can start to know what COSMETOLOGY is by my following articles.

See you and have a good day!
