PICKING the right products to address your skin concerns can be difficult, especially with an overwhelming options of skincare products.
You do not actually need many products to achieve good skin. The rule of thumb to flawless skin is knowing your skin type and its matching products. A quick skin type 101, there are five variations of skin type – normal, dry, oily, combination (oily and dry) and sensitive, which are determined by genetics.
One way to identify your skin type is to wash your face, pat it dry and observe your skin after 30 minutes. If your skin feels hydrated and comfortable then you have normal skin and if it feels flaky and tight then you could have dry skin. If you appear shiny everywhere then you may have oily skin but if there is only shine on the T-zone (the area in-between the nose and forehead) then you may have combination skin. Sensitive skin is identified when the skin comes in contact with products as you may experience redness, itching and discomfort.
Now that you have identified your skin type, next step is finding the right products to cater to your skin type.
