What's my skin type?

Understanding your skin is the first step toward a skincare routine that truly works for you. Find out your skin type to unlock its full potential.

The "Bare Face" Method

One of the simplest and most reliable ways to determine your skin type is the "Bare Face" method. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, pat it dry, and then wait 30 minutes without applying any products. Observe how your skin looks and feels after this time.

What to Look For

After 30 minutes, check your skin for these common characteristics:

Dry Skin

Your skin feels tight, especially when you make facial expressions. You might notice some flakiness, rough patches, or a dull, matte appearance.

Oily Skin

Your entire face has a shiny or greasy appearance, and your pores may look enlarged. This skin type is prone to breakouts and blackheads.

Combination Skin

Your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) appears shiny and oily, while the rest of your face (cheeks, jawline) feels dry or normal. This is a very common skin type.

Normal Skin

Your skin feels comfortable and balanced, with no noticeable tightness or oiliness. Pores are less visible, and your skin has a healthy, radiant look.

Why Knowing Your Skin Type Matters

Understanding your skin type is the foundation of a successful skincare routine. Using products designed for your specific needs helps you avoid irritation, manage concerns like acne or dryness, and achieve your skin goals more effectively. It’s the difference between guessing and truly knowing what your skin needs to thrive.
