As strange as it may sound, many of us cannot correctly name our skin type . The many different signs and symptoms are confusing, and using products that aren't designed for our skin only creates more problems. As a result, we end up in the beautician's office and spend tons of money on new skin care products.
We know how difficult it can be to determine your skin type , so today we're sharing with you a super easy 3-step test that you can do at home to quickly and easily determine your skin type .
How to correctly determine your facial skin type?
1. First of all, gently wash your facial skin with a cleanser and dry it with a tissue;
2. After washing your face, do not rush to apply other cosmetics and wait an hour;
3. After an hour, evaluate your facial skin type . The following guidelines will help you assess your facial skin type :
- Your skin is dry: the skin in the facial area feels stretched and flaking or flaking is visible.
- Your skin is oily: the skin of the face, both in the T-zone and in the cheek area, is shiny.
- Your skin is combination: the shine of the complexion is visible only in the T-zone.
- Your skin is normal: the skin looks neither too dry nor too oily, and the facial area feels comfortable and moist without causing any discomfort.
If you still don't feel completely confident after reading all the guidelines, then be sure to review the main signs of facial skin types and compare it with your real feelings and the image in the mirror. Well, once you've determined your skin type, take a look at your cosmetic cabinet and pay attention to what's hidden in it and what products are designed specifically for your face type. Don't skimp on your skin and don't forget that products that don't suit your skin should be removed from your skin care routine. Do not use products intended for other skin types, but don't throw them away either - donate or pass them on to someone who needs it the most.
