Understanding Your Skin Type
The first step in creating a skincare routine is understanding your skin type. Skin can generally be categorized as oily, dry, combination, sensitive, or normal. Each type requires different care strategies:
-
Oily Skin: Prone to excess sebum, large pores, and occasional breakouts. Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic products that help balance oil production.
-
Dry Skin: Often feels tight, flaky, or rough. Rich moisturizers, hydrating serums, and gentle cleansers can help restore moisture.
-
Combination Skin: Features both oily and dry areas, typically oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry on cheeks. Balancing products are key.
-
Sensitive Skin: Easily irritated, red, or prone to reactions. Use fragrance-free, soothing ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile.
Identifying your skin type ensures that every product you use will complement your natural needs rather than exacerbate problems.
