Baldness is an embarrassing problem and there is no treatment for several types of alopecias. So a huge range of commercial remedies claiming to increase hair growth have appear in the market.

Many of the preparations sold for the treatment of hair loss are advertised with accompanying photographs showing before and after treatment pictures.

It is really very important for you to be able to identify your skin type. This is to enable you to look after your skin correctly. Also the selection of your cosmetics is, to a considerable extent, influenced by your skin type. Although no two skins are exactly similar most have characteristics which enable them to be grouped into one of the following types:
Normal Skin : This skin is smooth and velvety to touch and does not look puffy or shiny. The skin has a rosy color because the circulation of blood is good and the skin is well moisturised. The pores are fine and barely visible. This type of skin is something of a rarity. If you own this type of skin, you have a real fortune to exploit. However, though this type of skin is not really problematic, it still needs sensible care and gentle treatment. Choose your skin care products carefully and always look for mild, well balanced cosmetics.
Dry Skin : This skin is fine, delicate and dry with a tendency to scaling on the cheeks. Under-neath, the skin lacks supplements and therefore feels taut after washing. The pores are not visible as there is an insufficient amount of secretion from the sebaceous glands. Dry skin tends to age prematurely and is wrinkle-prone unless nurtured. Constant pretection is very important and the products used must be gentle, rich and soothing. Always use a moisturizer during the day and a good cream at night.
Oily Skin : This skin is coarse, thick and shiny. The sebaceous glands being over-active, the pores are clearly visible. Oily Skin is prone to comedones and pimples and needs to be clean. Only those cosmetics which have been formulated especially for oily skins should be used, otherwise there will be problems.
Combination Skin : Most of us have a combination skin. The middle of the face is shiny with dilated ostia and a coarse texture. The rest of the face is either normal or dry. Sometimes, the difference between the two areas is great; if such is the case with your skin, then you would have to treat each part of the face accordingly - the dry areas as for dry skin and the central panel as for oily skin.Â
