>Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<p>You can get an idea of your skin type in just about an hour by trying out the bare-face test, the blotting paper test and just seeing how your skin goes through the day.\u00a0All this since your skin type to the biggest extent is about how much oil you produce after you clean your face.<\/p>\n<p>The American Academy of Dermatology puts people into 5 different groups (normal, dry, oily, a mix of all 3, or sensitive). And out of all the adults out there, 71% report feeling some kind of sensitivity. So you can see this makes getting things right to yourself a little tricky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/advanced-certification-beauty-wellness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Master Advanced Skincare, Makeup, Hair, and Salon Management.

Repeat on another day before labelling your skin type.<\/li>\n<li>Dermatologists recognise five types \u2013 normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive.<\/li>\n<li>Sensitivity is independent of oil levels. Any type can also be sensitive.<\/li>\n<li>Dry skin lacks oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water \u2013 even oily skin can be dehydrated.<\/li>\n<li>Skin type can change with season, hormones, age and climate; recheck every few months or when behaviour shifts.<\/li>\n<li>Patch test new products. Consult a dermatologist if irritation or breakouts persist despite a sensible routine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Knowing_Your_Skin_Type_Matters\"><\/span><strong>Why Knowing Your Skin Type Matters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What your skin type is will basically decide what types of products your face can handle. A moisturiser that&#8217;s like a gel is great for oily skin, but might be a bit too lightweight for dry skin.\u00a0And an acid-based exfoliant that works great on your oily T-zone might actually sting your dry cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is a lot of products are marketed as &#8220;for oily skin&#8221; and this isn&#8217;t always a standard set of definitions.\u00a0So by working out your skin type you can actually look at the ingredients and judge products on those rather than just what they claim.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Five_Skin_Types_at_a_Glance\"><\/span><strong>The Five Skin Types at a Glance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Skin Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Oil Level<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>How It Looks<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>How It Feels<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Common Concerns<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Normal<\/td>\n<td>Balanced<\/td>\n<td>Even tone, small pores, few blemishes<\/td>\n<td>Comfortable, neither tight nor greasy<\/td>\n<td>Occasional dry or oily spells<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Oily<\/td>\n<td>High<\/td>\n<td>Shiny, larger pores<\/td>\n<td>Greasy, especially by midday<\/td>\n<td>Blackheads, acne, makeup that slides off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dry<\/td>\n<td>Low<\/td>\n<td>Dull, flaky or rough patches<\/td>\n<td>Tight, sometimes itchy<\/td>\n<td>Fine lines, redness, stinging with products<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Combination<\/td>\n<td>Oily in some zones, normal or dry in others<\/td>\n<td>Shiny T-zone, matte cheeks<\/td>\n<td>Tight cheeks, greasy forehead and nose<\/td>\n<td>T-zone breakouts with cheek flaking<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sensitive<\/td>\n<td>Varies<\/td>\n<td>May look normal or red<\/td>\n<td>Stings, burns or itches<\/td>\n<td>Reactions to fragrance, weather or strong actives<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The AAD notes that oily skin is more likely to be acne-prone, while dry skin is more often sensitive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Test_1_The_Bare-Face_Wash_Test\"><\/span><strong>Test 1: The Bare-Face (Wash) Test<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is the classic starting point, and it takes about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How to do it:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Wash your face with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and pat it dry.<\/li>\n<li>Leave your face bare for 30 minutes.
