What’s My Skin Type?

Not sure what your skin type is? Don’t worry — your skin is not trying to confuse you on purpose.

Understanding your skin type is the first step to choosing skincare that actually works for you. Whether your skin feels oily, dry, sensitive, or a little bit of everything, this guide will help you figure it out in a simple and easy way.

Combination Skin

Combination skin is a little bit of everything. Your T-zone — forehead, nose, and chin — may get oily, while your cheeks feel normal or dry.

You may have combination skin if:

  • Your forehead and nose get shiny during the day
  • Your cheeks feel drier than your T-zone
  • Some products feel too heavy in oily areas but not moisturizing enough on dry areas

Best skincare tip:
Use lightweight hydration and balance-focused products. Your skin wants moisture, but not anything too heavy.

Dry Skin

Dry skin often feels tight, rough, or flaky, especially after cleansing. It may also look dull or feel uncomfortable without moisturizer.

You may have dry skin if:

  • Your skin feels tight after washing
  • You notice flaky or rough patches
  • Your makeup tends to cling to dry areas
  • Your skin drinks up moisturizer quickly

Best skincare tip:
Look for rich moisturizers and hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, and Collagen.

Oily Skin

Oily skin produces more sebum, which can make your face look shiny throughout the day. It may also be more prone to clogged pores and breakouts.

You may have oily skin if:

  • Your skin gets shiny soon after cleansing
  • Your pores look more noticeable
  • Your makeup slides off easily
  • You often deal with blackheads or breakouts

Best skincare tip:
Go for lightweight, non-greasy products. Ingredients like Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid can help keep excess oil under control.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin reacts easily. New products, weather changes, fragrance, or strong ingredients may cause redness, stinging, or irritation.

You may have sensitive skin if:

  • Your skin turns red easily
  • Products often sting or burn
  • Your skin feels itchy, warm, or uncomfortable
  • You prefer gentle formulas because your skin is picky

Best skincare tip:
Keep it simple and gentle. Look for calming ingredients like Centella Asiatica, Cica, Panthenol, and Ceramides.
