Skin types are extremely important to starting your skincare routine! If you choose products which do not work for your skin type, it can mess up your skin and cause breakouts.
There are several skin types: Dry, Normal, Oily, Combination, Sensitive.
There is a good test to see which of these you are!
First things first, you will need blotting papers. You can find these in beauty areas of stores usually.
Step 1. Wash your face and apply NO products.
Step 2. Wait 1 hour for your face to create oils.
Step 3. Use the blotting paper to check for oils, for this use some papers on your T-zone and a different one on your cheeks.
Step 4. Check your results. Dry skin means you will have no oil on any of the blotting paper. Normal skin means you'll have a small amount of oil on the blotting paper. Oily skin, your blotting paper will be soaked. Combination your T-zone will be soaked and your cheeks will not have oil. Sensitive skin cannot be found through this test. If you think you have sensitive skin, just go with that idea when you're buying new products only try one at a time!
I hope you enjoyed this introduction to skintypes!
