Identify Your Skin Type

Why knowing your skin type matters

Imagine your skin like a garden. 🌿 Some plants thrive in sunlight, others need shade and moisture. Your skin works the same way – it needs what fits it, not what is “trending”.
If you don’t know your skin type, you could be treating symptoms blindly – for example, using rich creams while having oily skin can increase excess oil instead of solving it.

Identify the skin type → Understand the need → Choose the right routine

Skin Types at a Glance

💧 Oily Skin
• excess sebum production
• enlarged pores
• prone to breakouts & blackheads
• often looks shiny

🌿 Combination Skin
• mix of oily and normal/dry zones
• T-zone shiny, cheeks usually balanced or dry

❄️ Dry Skin
• low moisture
• rough texture, sometimes itchy
• weather & low humidity can make it worse
• cracks can weaken the skin barrier → irritation risk

🛡️ Sensitive Skin
• reacts quickly: redness, burning, itching
• needs gentle products & barrier protection
• can be triggered by ingredients, stress, environment
• “sensitive” and “irritated” – dermatologically hardly any difference

✨ Normal Skin
• balanced – neither oily nor dry
• smooth & clear appearance
• occasional imperfections are normal

Most people fall into one of these categories – some classifications add more types, and your skin type can shift with hormones, stress, climate or seasons.

Knowing your skin type is the first step to choosing products that truly work for you.
