Face Care: Analyze Your Skin Type

Facial Skin Care:

Before starting the treatment, it is better for us, to identify the type of skin first and know the problems that often arise.

Now, from the picture bellow, which one is your skin color? White, medium, brown, black?

Maybe I am one of few people who disagree with advertisements of beauty products that says: healthy skin is white skin. It's totally wrong. Bad judgement at all. That's why may people wants to have white skin, then they buy so many whitening products than cause damage, irritation and even cause serious problems on their skin. Mom always told me like this: healthy skin is glowing skin, it's no matter with what colors of your skin.

I am not people with white skin too. I have normally skin color like Indonesian people almost. Brown, tan brown. Tho, I have skin color mixed by mother line (Indonesia/Malayan Mongoloid race) and father line (Netherlands/Kaukasoid race), but I think its prefer to mother line. It's not have to be white to look beautiful. 

I think Prisia Nasution represent Indonesian women skin color generally.
