Understanding Your Skin Type

2 min

The Four Skin Types

Every product you buy depends on knowing your skin type. There are four:

  • Oily — shiny T-zone, enlarged pores, frequent breakouts. Ages slowly.
  • Dry — tight, flaky, dull. Shows fine lines earlier.
  • Combination — oily T-zone, normal/dry cheeks. Most common type.
  • Sensitive — reacts to fragrances and weather. Needs minimal-ingredient formulas.

The 60-Minute Self-Test

  1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
  2. Don't apply anything. Wait 60 minutes.
  3. Check your skin: shiny everywhere = oily. Tight or flaky = dry. T-zone shiny only = combination. Red or stinging = sensitive.

Key Takeaway

Skin type can shift with seasons, hormones, and age. Reassess every few months.
