Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination, Sensitive…… trying to figure out your skin type can get overwhelming, right?
While I can’t for certain tell you what skin type you have without looking at your face under a magnifying lamp, there are some indicators that you can do to determine exactly what type of skin you have. Take the quiz to find out what your skin type is…
It is important to know this so that you can treat you skin for what it needs, not what you may think it needs. For example, it is very important not to over exfoliate dry skin. Over exfoliating is telling your body that you need to reproduce and kill off dead skin cells faster, thus leading to more dry skin and at some point you’re going to start actually causing damage to your skin.
Enter, the “tissue test”. While not as extensive (or as accurate) as the quiz above, it is kind of fun.
Let me know if it worked for you or if you have any questions identifying your skin type. As I said before, once you know your skin type, you are able to treat your face for what it needs, not what you THINK it needs- this is super SUPER necessary for maintaining healthy, glowing skin.
