Walking into a beauty store without knowing your skin type is like shopping for shoes without knowing your size. This guide helps you identify your skin type and choose the right products.
The 5 Skin Types
Before buying any skincare product, identify your skin type. Here is a simple test: wash your face, wait 1 hour without applying anything, then observe.
1. Normal Skin
No excess oil or dryness. Lucky you! Focus on maintenance with gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF.
2. Oily Skin
Shiny forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone). Look for oil-free, non-comedogenic, gel-based products. Niacinamide and salicylic acid are your friends.
3. Dry Skin
Tight, flaky, or rough feeling. Choose cream-based, hydrating products with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and shea butter.
4. Combination Skin
Oily T-zone, dry cheeks. Use gentle balancing products. Gel moisturisers work well.
5. Sensitive Skin
Redness, reactions easily. Avoid fragrance, alcohol, and harsh acids. Look for fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested products.
