My Skin Type. What Is It?
If you're struggling to define your skin type, here's a couple of quick pointers to help you along the way. Obviously oily skin is going to look aggravatingly shiny, whereas drier types can feel itchy and uncomfortable, especially if you make the wrong choice with your moisturiser. If either of these is difficult to categorise, combination skin is probably your type.
A quick and dirty way to determine which type you are is to try some of your regular cleanser and wait a while before moisturising. If after, say 15 minutes you get a 'tight' feeling, your skin is most definitely dry. Wait a little longer if you don't experience these symptoms, because the oily skin check is next. To perform this wait, say 30 minutes then arm yourself with a good old fashioned piece of tissue paper and blot the nose and chin area. The results will speak for themselves, with oil showing up on the tissue. Of course, you may have a mixture of the two skin types. In this case, you'll have to choose your products carefully, or have them professionally recommended by a trained therapist.
