Knowing your skin type is the first step to proper skincare, and there are a few simple ways to find out.

1. Wash your face and observe In the morning, wash your face and observe your skin after 30 minutes to an hour without applying anything.

If it's dry, you have dry skin,

If your forehead, nose, and chin are shiny, you have oily skin,

If your cheeks are dry and only your T-zone is shiny, you may have combination skin.



2. Oil Paper Test About 2 hours after cleansing your face, gently press a piece of oil paper on different parts of your face.

If a lot of oil comes out, you have oily skin,

moderate oiliness indicates normal skin,

very little oil is dry skin,

If it only covers your T-zone, you have combination skin.



3. Watch your skin react

If your skin feels tight after cleansing, you may have dry skin,

If you feel shiny and oily, you may have oily skin.




These methods can help you figure out your skin type, but if you're still not sure, it's best to consult a dermatologist.
