Don’t know your skin type?
Heres how to find out!
There are multiple ways to find out what type of skin type you have, I will provide examples.
Cleanse and wait test:
Cleanse- Wash your face with a preferred cleanser to remove dirt, makeup, and oils.
Pat Dry- Dry your face with a dry clean towel.
Wait- Let your skin return to its natural state. This usually takes about 30 minutes. (Don’t apply any skin care products)
Observe- Look at and feel your skin. It is better to focus on the t-zone (forehead, nose, chin, and your cheeks.)
Waiting may be time consuming so you can also do this:
Dry skin: Often feels tights, flaky
Oily skin: Looks overly shiny at most times, the t-zone is shiny
Combination skin: Looks oily in the T-zone (forehead and nose), but dry on the cheeks and jawline
Sensitive skin: Reacts to certain products or environmental changes, like appearing pink or red
Acne prone: Small red bumps, pus-filled bumps, or large, cystic bumps, redness around the bumps or inflamed areas, skin texture may be oily, shiny, bumpy, or uneven skin
