KNOW YOUR SKIN TYPE

Normal skin is  neither too oily nor too dry. Normal skin tends to have balanced pH levels and sebum production.

How Can You Identify Normal Skin Type?

• Smooth texture
• Fine pores
• No sensitivity
• No blemishes
• Few or no breakouts

Oily skin is characterized by a greasy appearance. This skin type is prone to acne breakouts. Oily skin is the result of excess sebum production.

How Can You Identify Oily Skin?

• Greasy appearance
• Open/Big pores
• Prone to breakouts

Dry skin is determined by flaky and rough texture. A lack of moisture in the skin can result in flaky and rough appearance.  It can at times feel tight and cause irritation.

How Can You Identify Dry Skin Type?

• Flaky and rough skin
• Uneven texture
• Itching
• Skin feels tight

Combination skin is a mix of oily skin and dry skin. Usually in combination skin types, the T-zone is oily and the cheeks are dry.

How Can You Identify Combination Skin?

• Oily T-zone and dry cheeks
• Breakouts only on forehead, chin and nose
• Sensitive cheeks

If your skin flushes with spicy food and adversely reacts to new products, you may have sensitive skin.

How Can You Identify Sensitive Skin Type?

• Skin feels itchy and tight
• Parts of your body have uneven texture
• Becomes oily in summers
• Gets dry in winters
• Reacts to skincare
• Becomes red after a hot water bath
• Feels itchy while wearing tight clothes
• Flushes easily after eating spicy food

If you get frequent breakouts (or ones that just never seem to go away), you likely have acne-prone skin. This means that your pores tend to clog easily, making you more susceptible to whiteheads, blackheads or pustules than other skin types. You can have oily or dry skin and be prone to acne.
