Identifying Your Skin Type

• Oily Skin: Characterized by excess oil and shine, particularly in the T-zone. Prone to acne and larger pores.

  • Look for: Oil-free, non-comedogenic products. Gel-based cleansers and lightweight moisturizers work well.

• Dry Skin: Feels tight and may show signs of flaking or rough patches. Often lacks visible pores.

  • Look for: Hydrating cleansers and rich moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
    
    

• Combination Skin: A mix of oily and dry, typically with an oily T-zone and drier cheeks.

  • Look for: Balanced products that neither overly strip nor overly hydrate the skin.
    
    

• Sensitive Skin: Reacts easily, showing redness or irritation. May feel itchy or tingly.

  • Look for: Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products with soothing ingredients like aloe or chamomile.
    
    

• Normal Skin: Well-balanced skin, not particularly oily or dry.

  • Look for: Gentle products that maintain this balance.
    
    

• Acne-Prone Skin: Frequent breakouts, blackheads, or cysts.

  • Look for: Salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide treatments, and avoid comedogenic products.
    
    

• Mature Skin: Shows signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.

  • Look for: Anti-aging products with retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants.

Importance of Ingredients:

Pay attention to ingredients over brand hype. Ingredients like retinoids for aging skin, salicylic acid for acne-prone skin, and ceramides for dry skin can make a significant difference.

Patch Testing:

Always patch test new products to ensure they don’t cause irritation.
