The Foundation of Skincare
Buying products without knowing your skin type is like prescribing medicine without a diagnosis. Here’s how to accurately identify yours.
The Bare-Face Test
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, pat dry, and wait 30 minutes without applying anything. Observe:
- Tight, flaky, or dull? Dry skin.
- Shiny all over, especially T-zone? Oily skin.
- Shiny forehead/nose but dry cheeks? Combination.
- Redness, stinging, or reactive to products? Sensitive.
Why It Changes
Skin type isn’t permanent. Hormones, climate, age, and diet can shift it. Reassess seasonally and adjust your routine accordingly.
