There are three main skin types. Dry skin, oily skin, and combination skin.
Now, let’s learn what skin type you have!
Dry skin
The desert wanderer
If your skin feels tight, flaky, and in desperate need of hydration, you might just be part of the dry skin club. No worries we have the perfect remedy to quench your skin thirst! When it comes to dry skin opt for gentle, hydrating cleansers. Look for thicker, richer, hydrating moisturizers. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, Shea, butter, and ceramides work, wonders in restoring moisture and improving the skin barrier function. Embrace the power of hydration, and let your skin glow!
Oily skin
The misunderstood rebel
It might always seem like a constant battle with shine and excess oil production. But again, no worries there are effective ways to manage and care for your skin type. Start your skin care routine with a purifying cleanser to help control oil and bacteria. Follow with a light weight, oil, free moisturizer that won’t clog pores, but still provides hydration. let’s debunk the mist that oily skin doesn’t need hydration. Yes, rebels need moisture too. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid, tea tree oil, benzyl peroxide, niacinamide, and others to help balance and clear your complexion.
Combination skin
The yin and yang duo.
Combination skin is a blend of both dry and oily characteristics. This is where the yin and yang of skin care meet. The skin type requires a special approach to keeping it, balanced and happy. Start with a gentle gel cleanser that won’t strip away natural oils, and use a lightweight moisturizer that won’t clog pores. You can also use spot correctors or treatments in the tea zone to help control oil, production or any breakouts. Exfoliation is also key for combination. Skin is it helps remove dirt and dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause breakouts.

Cleansing test:
One effective method, I personally recommend to determine your skin type is the cleansing test. Simply cleanse your skin and refrain from applying any other products. After a couple of hours.(2-3 hours) assess the condition of your skin. Does it feel excessively tight, as if it might crack? Or do you feel like your skin has become an oil slick? This simple task can provide valuable insight and help you accurately identify your skin type.
