In this weeks installment we will be covering Chapter 1: Understanding Your Skin Type. Your skin is as unique as you are, and it deserves personalised care. Chapter 1 explores the different skin types—oily, dry, combination, and sensitive—and offers insights into how to identify your own. Understanding your skin type is the crucial first step towards tailoring a skincare routine that works specifically for you

  1. Oily Skin:
    • Characteristics: Oily skin tends to produce excess sebum, leading to a shiny or greasy appearance, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).
    • Skincare Tips: Look for gentle, oil-free cleansers to help control excess oil. Use lightweight, non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) moisturizers. Incorporate oil-absorbing products like clay masks or mattifying primers into your routine.
  2. Dry Skin:
    • Characteristics: Dry skin often feels tight, rough, or flaky. It may be prone to redness and irritation.
    • Skincare Tips: Opt for hydrating cleansers that won't strip your skin of natural oils. Use rich, moisturizing creams and serums to lock in moisture. Consider using a humidifier to add moisture to your environment.
  3. Combination Skin:
    • Characteristics: Combination skin is a mix of both oily and dry areas. Usually, the T-zone is oily, while the cheeks may be dry or normal.
    • Skincare Tips: Use a balanced approach, with a gentle cleanser suitable for all skin types. Apply lighter products to the oily areas and more hydrating products to the dry areas. Spot treat specific concerns as needed.
  4. Sensitive Skin:
    • Characteristics: Sensitive skin is prone to redness, irritation, and may react negatively to certain ingredients or environmental factors.
    • Skincare Tips: Choose hypoallergenic and fragrance-free products. Avoid harsh ingredients like alcohol and strong acids. Perform patch tests when trying new products. Sunscreen is especially important for sensitive skin.
  • Oily Skin: Your skin will feel greasy, especially in the T-zone.
  • Dry Skin: Your skin will feel tight, dry, and may appear flaky.
  • Combination Skin: You'll notice some areas feeling oily, while others may feel normal or dry.
  • Sensitive Skin: Your skin may show signs of redness or irritation.
