Determine your skin type
Welcome to our complete 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 skin.
Step 1: Cleanse your face
Before you begin, cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and let it dry naturally, without using any products or creams.
Step 2: Wait one hour
Let your skin rest for about an hour so it can return to its natural state after cleansing.
Step 3: Identify your skin type
Observe your skin's characteristics after the resting hour and answer the following questions:
A. Drought level
- If your skin feels tight, dry, and uncomfortable, you probably have dry skin.
- If you experience some dryness but some 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 experience 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 enlarged 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 has little oil, 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.
