Having a customized skincare routine makes a difference for any type of skin: dry, oily, combination, sensitive or normal. But how do you understand your skin type? Here are two simple and effective tests that you can try at home. Remember that, in case of doubts or particular skin problems, consulting a dermatologist is always the best choice.
1. The “naked face” method
This test allows you to observe the skin in its natural state, without any product that could alter its appearance.
- Cleanse your face with a gentle product.
- Pat dry with a clean towel, patting lightly.
- Avoid applying creams, serums or treatments.
- Wait 30 minutes , then carefully observe your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and cheeks.
- Tight Skin : You probably have dry skin.
- Shiny face : indicates oily skin.
- Shiny T-zone and dry cheeks : a sign of combination skin.
- Frequent redness or irritation : You may have sensitive skin.
2. The blotting paper test
Another “do-it-yourself” method to understand which areas of the face produce more sebum:
- Use different sheets of blotting paper for your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin.
- Gently dab each area.
- Observe the sheets in the light:
- Little or no oil on all sheets → dry skin.
- Oil only on forehead and nose → combination or normal skin.
- All sheets with traces of oil → oily skin.
