How to Identify Your Skin Type: Practical Guide for an Effective Skincare Routine

Choosing the right products for your skin starts with an essential step: knowing your skin type. Many skin problems arise because we apply unsuitable care — which can cause redness, irritation, excess oil, or lack of results. This guide helps you discover if you have dry, oily, combination, normal, or sensitive skin so you can make more conscious and effective choices.

Benefits of knowing your skin type

  • Avoid using inappropriate products that can cause adverse reactions
  • Enhances the results of your skincare routine
  • Helps maintain healthy, balanced, and protected skin
  • Allows you to create a personalized routine with better long-term results

Skin types and their characteristics

  • Dry skin: Tightness, flakiness, small pores
  • Oily skin: Excess shine, enlarged pores, prone to acne
  • Combination skin: Oiliness in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dryness on the cheeks
  • Normal skin: Even texture, without prominent oily or dry areas
  • Sensitive skin: Reactions such as redness, burning, or itching when applying certain products

How to test your skin type

Observe your skin throughout the day, especially after cleansing. A simple method is the blotting paper test: wash your face with a gentle cleanser, wait 30 minutes, and then press a tissue onto the main areas of your face.

— If the paper comes out dry, you probably have dry skin.
— If it is oily in the T-zone but dry on the cheeks, you have combination skin.
— If it is oily in all areas, it indicates oily skin.
— If the paper shows little or no oil and your skin feels comfortable, it may be normal skin.

How to choose the right products for your skin type

After identifying your skin type, it is important to choose natural products formulated specifically for those needs. Examples include:

  • Sensitive skin: Soothing ingredients like chamomile, colloidal oatmeal, or niacinamide
  • Dry skin: Hyaluronic acid, shea butter, nourishing vegetable oils
  • Oily skin: Oil-free formulas with niacinamide, witch hazel, tea tree
