Finding your skin type is very important when it comes to correctly caring for your skin, because knowing your skin helps you find the correct treatments and products for your skin.
There are 4 main skin types:
- Dry skin
- Oily skin
- Combination skin
- Sensitive skin
There are many ways to find your skin type, but here is an easy way that you can do at home:
- Cleanse you face with any gentle cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel
- Wait for 1 hr. Don't put any product on your face, not even moisturiser or sunscreen
- Inspect your skin.
If it is shiny and feels a bit oily, especially in the T-zone, then you have oily skin.
If it feels tight and dry and flaky, then you have dry skin.
If it is oily in some areas like the T-zone and dry or normal in other areas, then you have combination skin.
If it is itchy and red, and reacts to new products, then you have sensitive skin.
From here, you can go on finding the right products for you skin. I will also be posting more about skin types and what products to use for your skin type.
I hope this helped, have a nice day🫶, bye!
