Determine your skin type

Determine your skin type

Welcome to our comprehensive guide to discovering your skin type. Understanding your skin type is the crucial first step in creating a skincare routine tailored to your individual needs. Follow these steps to determine your skin type and enjoy radiant, healthy-looking skin.

Step 1: Cleanse your face

Before starting, cleanse your face with a mild cleanser and allow it to dry naturally, without using any products or creams.

Step 2: Wait an hour

Leave your skin to rest for an hour or so, so that it can return to its natural state after cleansing.

Step 3: Identify your skin type

Observe the characteristics of your skin after the hour of rest and answer the following questions:

A. Level of drought

  • If your skin feels tight, dry and uncomfortable, you probably have dry skin.
  • If you feel a certain dryness but certain areas of your face look normal, you probably have combination skin.
  • If your skin feels comfortable and balanced, you probably have normal skin.
  • If you don't feel any dryness, you probably have oily skin.

B. Presence of sebum (oil)

  • If you notice excess oil on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dilated pores, you probably have oily skin.
  • If only the T-zone is oily while the cheeks are comfortable, you probably have combination skin.
  • If your face is not very oily, you probably have normal to dry skin.

C. Sensitivity

  • If you experience frequent tingling, redness or itching, you probably have sensitive skin.
  • If your skin occasionally reacts to certain products or conditions, it may be sensitive to certain elements.

Consider Your Unique Characteristics

Don't forget that your skin type can be influenced by factors such as climate, hormones and lifestyle. Take these factors into account to further refine your analysis.
