Wash your face in the morning with just water and use no moisturizer. How does your face feel by noon?
What size are your pores?
Dry Skin
By noon, dry skin will probably still feel dry and possibly tight. The pores are generally almost invisible. The skin’s texture is very fine and the skin is prone to redness and flakiness. This type of skin ages more quickly than other skin types.
Normal Skin
Your face will feel neither dry nor oily by noon. The pores appear somewhat visible. The texture is smooth and the skin usually has good color and elasticity. This is the least problematic of all the skin types.
Combination Skin
Combination skin is exactly that. It will be a little dry and a little oily within 3 or 4 hours of washing your face. Your cheeks will feel dryer than the forehead, nose and chin, commonly know as the T-zone. The pores generally appear larger in the T-zone than they are on the cheeks. The texture is a little coarser than normal or dry skin.
Oily Skin
By noon your face will be noticeably oily. Oily skin has large pores that are visible all over the face and has a texture that is quite coarse. Although this skin can be blemish prone, one advantage is that this skin type does not wrinkle as quickly as normal or dry skin.
By identifying your skin type you will better understand why a certain cleanser or moisturizer may be better suited for your particular needs. Before spending money on cosmetics, ask questions and choose products to address the challenges that your skin type presents. By doing this you will spend your cosmetic dollars more wisely and will see better results from your skin care regime.
