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.
