Understanding Your Skin Type

Before diving into product recommendations, it’s essential to identify your skin type. Knowing your skin type allows you to choose products that address your specific needs:

• Oily Skin: Characterized by a shiny complexion and enlarged pores due to excess sebum production.
• Dry Skin: Often feels tight, rough, and flaky due to a lack of moisture.
• Combination Skin: Features both oily and dry areas, typically with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks.
• Sensitive Skin: Prone to redness and irritation, often reacting to certain ingredients.
• Normal Skin: Balanced, with minimal imperfections and few sensitivities.

Once you’ve determined your skin type, you can tailor your skincare routine with products that optimize your skin’s health and appearance.

Step 3: Tone

Toning balances your skin’s pH, tightens pores, and prepares your skin to absorb serums and moisturizers effectively.
