Why it is important to know your skin type?
It is important to know your skin type to help you choose the right skincare products, avoid irritation, and maintain healthy, glowing skin.
How to Know Your Skin Type?
If you know your skin type, the key is to select the right skincare products. Here are simple ways to identify whether you have oily, dry, combination, or normal skin.
Visual Test
Examine your face closely. Oily skin will shine under the light, dry skin will appear flaky, and combination skin will showcase both features.
Blotting Paper Test
Apply blotting paper to your face. If the paper soaks up oil, you have oily skin. If there is little oil, you have dry skin.
Touch Test
After cleansing, wait an hour. Tight, dry-feeling skin indicates you have dry skin. If you have smooth, balanced skin, it indicates that you have normal skin.
Pore Size
The size of your pores under the light also indicates your skin type. Larger pores normally indicate oily skin type, whereas smaller ones indicate either dry or normal skin type.
