Choosing the right skincare starts with understanding your skin type. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, the approach is different. This guide helps you identify yours.
The Bare-Face Test
Cleanse your face and wait 30 minutes without applying anything. Observe your skin in natural light. Does it feel tight? Does it shine? Is there a mix of both? Your observations reveal your type.
Oily Skin
Your face feels shiny and greasy, especially in the T-zone. You may experience frequent breakouts. Oil production is high, which makes pores appear larger. This type is prone to acne.
Dry Skin
Your skin feels tight, rough, or flaky. It may itch or feel uncomfortable. Fine lines become more visible on dry skin. This type lacks natural oil and needs intensive hydration.
Combination Skin
Your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is oily while cheeks are normal or dry. Most people have this type. It requires a balanced approach.
Sensitive Skin
Your skin reacts easily to products, climate, or stress. You experience redness, itching, or burning. This is often combined with another type (sensitive oily, sensitive dry).
