Step 1: Identify Your Skin Type
Before you can choose the right products, you need to know your skin type. Here are the most common types:
- Dry Skin – Feels tight, rough, or flaky. Often lacks moisture and may have fine lines.
- Oily Skin – Shiny and greasy, particularly in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin). Prone to enlarged pores and breakouts.
- Combination Skin – A mix of dry and oily skin; typically oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks.
- Sensitive Skin – Easily irritated and prone to redness, itching, or burning. Often reacts to certain ingredients.
- Normal Skin – Balanced, smooth, and not prone to breakouts or dryness.
Step 2: Understand Your Skin’s Needs
Each skin type has unique characteristics and requires specific care:
- Dry Skin: Needs hydration and moisture to prevent flaking and tightness.
- Oily Skin: Requires oil control and lightweight hydration to reduce shine.
- Combination Skin: Needs a balance between moisturizing dry areas and controlling oil in the T-zone.
- Sensitive Skin: Requires gentle, calming products that don’t cause irritation.
