Skin Care for Different Skin Types

Indeed, skincare is not a one-size-fits-all industry. While one face wash may be effective for your BFF, it can cause complete havoc on your skin. Similar to how some people might benefit from moisturising multiple times each day, others can end up appearing greasy and oily, so moisturising is a personal preference. It all depends on the type of skin you have. Because of this, the secret to a radiant complexion is to customise your regimen to your unique skin type (think: oily, dry, sensitive, acne-prone, or combo). The greatest advice for each skin type is provided below by the celebrity dermatologist Dr Anju Methil to assist you more effectively handle your skin troubles.

Determining Your Skin Type

Oily, dry, normal, combination and sensitive skin types make up the five primary categories. The Great skin specialist Dr Anju advises washing your face with a mild cleanser, patting your skin dry gently, and waiting 30 minutes to determine your skin type. Examine your skin once the allotted time has passed. Does it appear typical? Your skin type is typical. You most likely have combination skin if your T-zone is oily but the rest of your skin is on the drier side. You most likely have oily or acne-prone skin if it is glossy. Does your face seem flaky or feel tight? Your skin is probably dry. And you probably have sensitive skin if you’ve ever noticed that some products cause your skin to get dry, red, or uncomfortable.
