The skin consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The outermost layer, the epidermis, forms the protective surface of the skin, defending us against external factors. This layer acts as a shield, particularly against bacteria and harmful UV rays. In individuals between the ages of 15-25, the epidermis renews itself approximately every 20 days, while by the 30s, this process extends to 28 days.
Located directly beneath the epidermis, the dermis is the supportive layer of the skin. This layer contributes to the skin's elasticity and durability, and also helps strengthen the skin’s structure.
The innermost layer, the hypodermis, consists of fat and connective tissue. This layer plays an essential role in maintaining the structural integrity of the skin and ensuring the skin's functions. Additionally, the hypodermis contributes to preserving the skin’s aesthetic properties.
These three layers are the fundamental elements that determine the structure, functions, and aesthetic appearance of the skin.

Determining Your Skin Type
Accurately identifying your skin type and using appropriate skincare products is essential for maintaining your skin’s health. Different skin types have different care needs, and choosing the right products ensures that your skin is protected in the best possible way.
Dry Skin
Dry skin results from underactive oil glands that do not produce enough oil. This skin type typically appears dull and may feel tight or itchy. It is crucial to regularly moisturize and protect dry skin both internally and externally.
Oily Skin
Oily skin is caused by overactive oil glands that produce excessive oil. This skin type often has a shiny and oily surface. People with oily skin are more prone to acne, as excess oil builds up in the pores, creating blockages known as "comedones." Although oily skin is considered challenging due to its tendency to develop acne, it has the advantage of maintaining a more youthful and elastic appearance over time. In caring for oily skin, regular mask treatments should be applied to remove accumulated oil and dirt, helping to balance excess oil and prevent clogged pores.
Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin can be dry, normal, or oily and is characterized by irritation, redness, and burning sensations. This skin type is sensitive to environmental factors and needs to be protected, especially from harmful sun rays. Sensitive skin care requires a cautious approach.
Normal Skin
In normal skin, the oil glands produce a balanced amount of oil. This skin type is neither too dry nor too oily, with a healthy, balanced, and smooth surface. However, a common mistake for those with normal skin is neglecting their skincare routine because they perceive no issues. People with normal skin should still analyze their skin and care for it according to its needs.
Combination Skin
Combination skin typically has an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), while other areas of the face may be dry or normal. This skin type requires separate skincare routines for both oily and dry areas.
