Normal Skin

You will feel comfortable after cleaning and drying your face if you have normal skin. Your skin texture will be smooth and soft. You may also see pores on your face. Also, you will find that your skin tone is even all over the face, and your facial skin tone is the same as your body.

Oily Skin

You may experience extra oil on your nose, forehead and chin if you have oily skin. Also, you will notice that the pores on your skin are larger. Also, you may have acne on your skin. Take care of your oily skin by cleansing it twice daily. Use foaming facewash to cleanse your skin. Use an oil-free moisturizer to maintain your skin texture.

Dry Skin

After cleansing your face, your skin may feel tight because of dryness. Also, it may feel flaky as it lacks natural oils. You may also feel irritation because of less dryness. To take care of such skin, ensure that you can use hydrating cleansers and rich moisturizers that will hydrate your skin from within.

Combination Skin

You have combination skin if you experience oiliness and dryness simultaneously on your face. You may have normal cheeks, oily or dry nose, etc. It also makes you feel irritated quickly. Ensure that you use a gentle cleanser that is suitable for everyone. Use two types of moisturizers to cover both skin types.

Sensitive Skin

Your skin may get easily irritated if you have sensitive skin. Also, it may feel itchy. Therefore, you should be careful when choosing products suitable for your skin. Choose products that are plant-based and made with natural oils. Also, ensure you take a patch test before applying the products to your overall skin.
