Ever wondered why your skin behaves the way it does? Why sometimes it's as shiny as a polished apple, and other times it's as dry as a desert? Well, it's time to unravel the mystery. Understanding your skin type is the first step towards achieving flawless, radiant skin. So, let's dive into the basics and discover the elements that make your skin unique.

The Skin Types: A Quick Overview

There are five main skin types: oily, dry, combination, sensitive, and normal. Each type has its own characteristics and requires different care routines. But how do you determine your skin type? Here are two simple methods you can try at home:

The Bare-Faced Method

This method involves cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser, patting it dry, and then waiting for about 30 minutes. After this time, observe your skin. If it feels tight, you likely have dry skin. If there's noticeable shine on your nose and forehead, your skin is probably oily. If some areas are dry and others are oily, you have combination skin.

The Blotting Sheet Method

Press a blotting paper onto different areas of your face. If the paper picks up oil from all the areas, then you have oily skin. If it only picks up oil from the forehead and nose areas, you have combination skin. If the paper doesn't pick up any oil, you likely have dry or normal skin.
