To determine your skin type, you can follow these steps:
-
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry.
-
Wait for about an hour without applying any products.
-
After an hour, observe how your skin feels and looks:
-
If your skin feels tight, looks flaky, and tends to be dull, you likely have dry skin.
-
If your skin feels oily, looks shiny, and you notice enlarged pores, you likely have oily skin.
-
If your skin feels balanced, with minimal oiliness or dryness, you likely have normal skin.
-
If your skin feels oily in some areas (usually the T-zone) and dry in others, you likely have combination skin.
By observing these characteristics, you can determine your skin type and choose appropriate skincare products and routines.
