How to know your Skin Type + Tips

Hello lemon gals! 🍋

Knowing your skin type is very important before using any skincare products on your face because instead of making your skin healthy, you might end up damaging your skin because it is not suitable for you. I found out my skin type by doing this step, and my skin is Combination Skin. So, I’m here to share with you guys on how to determine your skin type.

Then here is how you can test your skin type, just follow these very easy guide.

1. Wash your face with any gentle cleanser.

2. Rinse and wait for 10 to 15 minutes

3. If your face is too dry, then you have dry skin. If your face is too oily, then you have oily skin. If your face is dry and oily on the T-zone, you have combination skin. If you have redness all over face, or it’s itchy then you have a Sensitive Skin. Lastly, if you your skin is neither too dry nor too oily, then you have a normal skin.
