Scientific Skincare
👉 Recommended: How to Accurately Determine Your Skin Type
Before building a skincare routine, you need to know exactly your skin type in order to choose suitable products.
How to Determine Your Skin Type
Simple method to check your skin type:
Blotting paper method: After cleansing your face, wait 30 minutes, then use blotting paper to check the amount of oil on your skin.
Observe your skin: If the entire face is oily → Oily skin, if only the T-zone is oily → Combination skin, if flaky and tight → Dry skin.
Specific skin classifications:
Normal skin: Healthy skin, few blemishes, well-balanced oil and water.
Oily skin: Produces a lot of sebum, prone to acne and enlarged pores.
Dry skin: Lacks oil, prone to flaking, rough texture, and poor elasticity.
Combination skin: Oily T-zone with dry cheeks.
Sensitive skin: Easily irritated by cosmetics, weather, and the environment.
No matter your skin type, the daily morning-evening skincare routine must follow these basic steps:
