How do I determine my skin type?Updated 2 hours ago

The easiest way to know your skin type is by first washing your face with a gentle cleanser. From there, pat your face dry and wait 15-30 minutes to assess how your skin feels naturally without any products. 

If it feels tight, like you forgot to put on your moisturizer, you have a drier skin type. If after 30 minutes your skin feels slick, you likely have an oily skin type. Don’t stress! This isn't a bad thing! 

On the flip side, if after 30 minutes you don't feel tight or slick, you’re among the lucky few who have what is characterized as a “normal" skin type, aka it feels balanced and comfortable, without excessive dryness or oiliness.
