Different Types of Skin

Normal Skin: If you have normal skin, you likely have few to no blemishes, your skin is well-hydrated and feels smooth to the touch.

Dry Skin: Dry skin often feels tight, and can be rough or flaky in certain areas. You may notice more visible fine lines and wrinkles, as well as a lack of radiance.

Oily Skin: Oily skin tends to have larger pores and a shiny appearance, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Blemishes, blackheads, and acne may be common.

Combination Skin: Combination skin is a mix of dry and oily areas. The T-zone is often oily, while the cheeks and other areas may be dry or normal.

Sensitive Skin: Sensitive skin may be easily irritated by certain products or environmental factors. It can be dry, oily, or combination.

Determine Your Skin Type

Determining your skin type is an important step in creating a proper skincare routine. Without knowing your skin type, it can be difficult to select the right products and treatments that will be effective and beneficial for your specific needs. Here are some tips to help you.

To determine your skin type, follow these simple steps:

1. Start with a clean face. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.

2. Wait for an hour. Do not apply any products to your skin during this time.

3. Examine your skin. Look for any visible signs of oiliness or dryness, and note any areas that may be sensitive or prone to blemishes.

4. Blot test. Take a tissue and gently blot your face. If the tissue is oily, you likely have oily skin. If there is little to no oil on the tissue, you may have dry or normal skin.

5. Pay attention to how your skin feels. Does it feel tight, itchy, or uncomfortable? These can be signs of dry or sensitive skin.

Once you have determined your skin type, you can choose the appropriate skincare products and treatments that will work best for you. Remember, it is important to adjust your skincare routine based on changes in your skin type due to age, weather, or hormonal fluctuations.
