How to Find Correct Skin Type

So, First of all just follow these steps and then I will help you categorize through what skin type you really have.

• Remove make-up from your face, and wash your face with a gentle cleanser. It will remove all the oils & dirt from your face giving your skin a fresh new start. Do not wash your face again.
• Now wait for around an hour, during this time your skin will come back to your natural state, which will help you identify your natural skin type. Also, try not to touch your face. Let it stay normal at room temperature.
• Try to dab your face with a tissue paper, focusing on your T-zone, which is forehead, nose & chin area.
• Now determine your skin type : There are basically 4 categories- normal, oily, dry & combination skin.

Normal Skin :

You will get no oil on tissue paper nor you will observe any flaking skin. Congrats, you are blessed with a skin type which is not very common & it is very easy to take care of such skin type. You will find your skin supple and smooth, with barely visible pores & a radiant complexion which is the best thing we could ever have.

Oily Skin :

You will easily notice grease on tissue. You can also observe large pores and shine. This is a very common skin type, which is often prone to breakouts. Due to excess production of sebum, this skin type appears to be dull. For this skin type you girls need to consume water in good amount. Along with water this skin needs some oils too. Yes, girls so don’t shy away from oil. Moisturize your skin with light-weight moisturizers. You need to provide your skin the moisture it needs.

Dry Skin :

If you have Dry skin type you will easily notice flakes of dead skin or you may feel taut. This is because your skin is not producing the adequate amount of sebum, which makes it looking dull & dry. Moisturizing the skin & keeping it hydrated is highly essential for people who fall in this group. This skin shows more visible lines, if not properly taken care of. So, hydrate the skin well with the right products.

Combination skin :

If you have this skin type, you will notice characteristics of all the three skin types i.e. oily, dry & normal. The skin will be oily near the t zone & normal to dry everywhere else. This is most common skin type. And this can turn out to be most difficult one to handle. For combination skins also there are 2 kinds, one which is oilier than more dry and the other one which is drier than more oily. Combination skin type gets more oily in summers and humid atmosphere whereas more dry in winters. So, these people will have to switch to different products depending on the weather.
