1. Normal skin

2. Oily skin

3. Dry skin

4. Combination skin

5. Sensitive skin

An essential step in selecting the best skincare products for you is determining your skin type. An easy way to determine your skin type is as follows:

Make your face clean: Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face, then pat it dry. Prior to this step, do not apply any products to your skin.

Delay: Wait 30 minutes without applying any products after washing your face.

Look at your skin: Pay close attention to your skin and note the following:

How do you feel on your skin? Is it comfortable, oily, or tight?

Does your skin appear shiny, especially in the T-zone (the area between your nose and chin)?

Do you have pores that can be seen, particularly in the T-zone?

Does your skin appear to be dry or flaky, particularly on the cheeks and around the eyes?

Does your skin feel irritated or red, especially after applying products or being in the sun?

You can figure out what kind of skin you have by looking at these things:

Oily skin: You have oily skin if your skin is shiny and has visible pores, especially in the T-zone.

Skin that is dry: You have dry skin if your skin feels tight, flaky, and prone to dry patches.

Skin that is mixed: You have combination skin if the T-zone of your face is oily and the rest of your face is dry.

Normal skin: You have normal skin if it doesn't feel tight or oily and feels comfortable.

Sensitive skin: You have sensitive skin if your skin is irritated, red, and reacts quickly to products.

Keep in mind that every person's skin is unique and that your skin type can change over time. It's important to check your skin on a regular basis to make sure you're using the right products.
