- Quick Tricks to Identify Your Skin Type at Home
• Oily: Shiny by midday, prone to breakouts
• Dry: Tight, flaky, or rough patches
• Combination: Oily in T-zone, dry on cheeks. (T-zone means area of your face shaped like the letter “T” ie. your forehead, nose, and chin)
• Normal/Balanced: Even texture, rarely irritated
Tip: Use the “blotting sheet test” or observe how your skin feels 2–3 hours after cleansing.
- What Each Type Needs (and Hates)
• Oily Skin: Needs lightweight hydration; hates heavy oils and pore-clogging creams
• Dry Skin: Needs deep moisturizers and humectants; hates harsh cleansers
• Combination Skin: Needs balance targeted care for oily vs dry areas
• Normal Skin: Needs maintenance and protection; hates neglect - Skin Glow Up Product Picks
• Oily: Vitamin C Serum (lightweight, brightening), Hydrating Serum (oil-free)
• Dry: Body Butter (deep hydration), Vitamin C serum, Vitamin E serum, any of our body lotions, and radiant glow body oil.
• Combination: Vitamin C Serum + Body Butter (targeted layering)
• Normal: Daily Vitamin C Serum + Moisturizer (maintain barrier and glow) - Common Skincare Mistakes by Type
• Oily: Over-cleansing triggers more oil production
• Dry: Skipping moisturizer can worsens flakiness
• Combination: Using one product for whole face, imbalance remains
• Normal: Overusing actives and exfoliates causes irritation and unnecessary stress
In summary,
Knowing your skin type is the first step to building a routine that actually works. Combine self-awareness with the right products like Vitamin C Serum, Body Butter, and our Serums and watch your skin glow healthily and confidently.
