TIPS TO KNOW YOUR SKIN TYPE


Find out your skin type:


You need to know your skin type to choose the right care products like cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Here's how:

Your skin is considered normal if:

It breaks out only occasionally, and primarily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).

It sunburns, then tans.

About ten minutes after cleansing, before moisturizing, it feels somewhat tight.

Your skin is considered dry if:

It almost always burns, rarely tans.

Your pores are fine.

About ten minutes after cleansing, before moisturizing, it feels parched and taut.

Your skin is considered oily if:

It tans easily.

It often breaks out.

Your pores are large.

About an hour after cleansing, without moisturizer, you can run your finger down your nose and pick up oil.

Your skin is considered sensitive if:

It's fair.

It sunburns quickly.

It reddens or burns easily in reaction to certain products.

It's dry.
