WHAT'S MY SKIN TYPE? Alright, bestie, let’s talk skin! Figuring out your skin type is the key to choosing the right skincare routine. If you’re using the wrong products, you could end up too oily, super dry, or even breaking out—yikes! But don’t worry, I got you. No skin type is better than another, so let’s break it down and help you find what works best for you.
NORMAL SKIN If you have normal skin, congrats! You don’t really have to stress about breakouts or crazy reactions to new products. Your skin just goes with the flow, and you don’t feel too dry or too oily throughout the day. You’ve got minimal fine lines and wrinkles, and your skin is basically thriving. Keep doing what you’re doing!
OILY SKIN If you feel like you’re glowing (but not in the way you want to), you probably have oily skin. Your face might get shiny soon after washing it, and keeping oil in check is your top priority when picking skincare and makeup. But here’s the deal—even oily skin needs moisturizer! Skipping it can actually make your skin produce even MORE oil (ugh). The good news? Oily skin tends to age more slowly, so hello, fewer wrinkles!
DRY SKIN If your skin feels tight, itchy, or flaky, you’re in the dry skin club. There’s a difference between dry and dehydrated skin—dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin is just thirsty for moisture. Either way, your best bet is to use products that lock in hydration, like ceramides and lipids. Just a heads-up—dry skin can age faster, so keeping it moisturized is super important!
COMBINATION SKIN A little oily here, a little dry there—welcome to combination skin! Usually, this means your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is oily, while your cheeks might be normal or dry. The trick is to treat different areas with different products based on what they need. Yes, that might mean using two moisturizers, but hey, your skin will thank you.
SENSITIVE SKIN If your skin freaks out over new products, gets red easily, or feels irritated often, you’ve got sensitive skin. This could be from genetics, allergies, or even the environment. The key here is to keep it simple—less is more! Pay attention to what triggers irritation and avoid harsh ingredients. And if you're still unsure about your skin type, a licensed skincare pro can help you figure it out and recommend the best products.
So, there you have it! Now you can confidently pick the right skincare products and keep your skin looking amazing. Let me know if you need help finding your perfect routine!
