Determine your skin type

Follow these three steps to test what your skin type is:

1. Cleanse your face as you would normally do. Don’t apply any moisturizer afterwards.

2. Wait for 45 minutes.

3. Press a clean tissue on different parts of your face and research if the tissue looks dry or greasy. This becomes visible when held against light. You can also use a clean index finger to feel different areas of the face.

COMBINED SKIN

Combined skin has both dry and greasy zones - like the T-zone. The greasy parts of your face have larger pores and the dry parts feel tight and flakey. The different zones need different care.
