How to Identify Your Skin Type ✨

Understanding your skin type is the foundation of beautiful, healthy skin.

Before investing in skincare, it’s essential to listen to what your skin is telling you. Here’s a gentle guide to help you identify your skin type 🤍

1. Normal Skin

Balanced, comfortable, and radiant.

  • No excessive oil or dryness
  • Smooth texture, refined pores
  • Rare breakouts

Your skin feels calm and effortlessly glowing.

2. Dry Skin

Soft yet delicate, often craving nourishment.

  • Feeling of tightness, especially after cleansing
  • Dull tone, possible flaking
  • Fine lines appear more easily

Hydration and barrier repair are your skin’s love language.

3. Oily Skin

Naturally luminous with a tendency to shine.

  • Excess oil, especially in the T-zone
  • Visible pores
  • Prone to breakouts

Balance – not stripping – is the key to harmony.

4. Combination Skin

A beautiful mix that needs a tailored approach.

  • Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)
  • Dry or normal cheeks

Your skin thrives on customized care.

5. Sensitive Skin

Refined, reactive, and in need of extra gentleness.

  • Redness, irritation, or stinging
  • Reacts easily to new products
  • Feels fragile at times

Calming formulas and mindful routines are essential.

✨ Pro tip:

The most accurate way to identify your skin type is through a professional skin analysis. Skin can change with seasons, lifestyle, stress, and hormones.

Your skin is unique – treat it with intention, elegance, and expert care.
