how do you know what type of skin you have?

Answer 1

The quality of your skin, how you feel it would help you a lot to discover what type of skin you have...

We can find 3 general types of skin:

1, Dry skin: You fell that the skin is really rough, when you smile you can fell that your kin will crack.

2. Oily Skin: You feel you face sweaty all the time, your face looks shining, when you touch your face you literally feel oil on your hands.

3. Normal Skin: I would say kids have normal skin, is not greasy, is not dry... is just perfect.

Other skin types are:

Combined: The Famous T zone for head, nose and chin, those are the greasy zones, and the rest are normal.

Sensitive Skin: this type of skin is mostly sensitive to creams, and make up, the person have an allergic reactions.

Dry or Sensitive Skin

Normal or Combination Skin

Normal skin is balanced and trouble-free. Combination skin, which is oily in the T-zone, also requires balancing.

Answer 3

just go off of what you normally have. For instance, if you normally have regualr skin in the morning, and oily skin in the afternoon, to evening, then you have normal-oily skin. If your skin is always oily, then it is obviously just oily. you could also have dry skin. No matter what the case is, you can always find a skin care that is just for your skin type.

**I would suggest looking into MaryKay Cosmetics... they are really great!
