Understanding your skin is the first step to treating it effectively. Here’s a simple guide:
- Dry Skin: Does your skin often feel tight, rough, or flaky? You likely have dry skin.
- Oily Skin: Do you notice a persistent shine on your forehead, nose, and chin? Your skin is probably oily.
- Combination Skin: Is your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) oily, but your cheeks feel normal or dry? You have combination skin.
- Sensitive Skin: Does your skin react easily to new products, showing signs of redness or irritation? You have sensitive skin.
- Normal Skin: If your skin feels balanced—not too oily, not too dry—you have a normal skin type.
