In order to know what your skin needs, you need to know what type of skin you have.
Don’t worry, it’s easy…
And if not, experimenting has always worked wonders for us .
Here are the characteristics of five different skin types. See if you can find one that sounds familiar.

#1 - Dry skin
Dry skin has small pores, and is rough, flaky, and often chapped. It feels dry and tight. Lines and wrinkles are more visible.
#2 – Oily Skin
Oily skin is known for its large pores, blackheads, uneven skin, acne, and/or blemishes. If you have oily skin your skin will almost always feel greasy and look shiny.
#3 – Normal skin
Normal skin has small to medium sized pores. They feel neither dry nor oily. People with normal skin usually have a clear complexion and easy-to-maintain skin.
#4 – Combination Skin
Combination skin is oily in some places, but dry in others. So it can be quite tricky to determine what’s going on if you have combination skin.
It’s common to have oily skin in your t-zone (chin, forehead, nose), while cheeks are normal or dry.
#5 – Sensitive Skin
Think about sensitive skin as an add-on. You usually have one of the above skin types PLUS sensitive skin.
Sensitive skin reacts to all sorts of things such as:
 clothes
 cosmetics
 hair removal
 lotion
 temperature
Have you identified your type? If not, don’t worry. It’ll come to you with time.
Let’s move forward and look at what the different skin types need…
