Know Your Skin Type

Are you sensitive? Combination? Dry? Oily? Normal? No, this has nothing to do with your personality! Every person's skin is different.

If you are unsure about your skin type, a good test is to take a dry lens-cleaning paper and place it on different areas of your face, 15 minutes after washing and drying. If you are a dry skin type, the paper will not stick on your face. Oily? The paper will stick to your face or absorb oil that you can see on the paper. If the paper adheres on your nose, forehead, chin but nowhere else- you have combination or normal skin type.
