Find your skin type

Understanding your skin type is vital for selecting the right products for your skincare.

There are three main skin types: Oily, Dry and Combination. Then, there are three main skin concerns: Acne-prone, Aging and Sensitive. Someone with any skin type could have any combination of skin concerns. But some skin concerns are common for certain skin types. For example, oily skin has the highest chance of being acne prone and dry skin tends to show signs of aging faster.

If you don’t know your skin type, here’s an easy process to find out:

  1. In the evening, wash your skin well with a non-irritating cleanser
  2. Go to bed without using any skincare products and in a room with clean air (no air conditioning)
  3. Wake up and touch your skin in the key areas
    • T-zone: forehead, nose, chin
    • C-zone: outer portion of your face
  4. Assess level of oiliness
    • Oily T-zone and C-zone – likely oily skin
    • Oily T-Zone and Dry C-zone – likely have normal/combination skin
    • Dry T-zone and Dry C-zone – likely have dry skin
  5. Your skin type may change overtime depending on things like age and change in season, health status, products you use, hormone fluctuations, diet, etc – be open to acknowledging a change in your skin type
