What Is My Skin Type?
1. Dry
Does your skin feel tight after you wash it or maybe even flaky? Products that moisturize and even out the skin are best for dry types. Creamy concealers, moisturizing foundations, and pressed powders are great to relieve dry skin and give a smooth, beautiful appearance. You should also keep a good moisturizer for whenever your skin needs it.
2. Oily
If your skin tends to be shiny and greasy, then it falls under the oily category. For oily skin, use a light texture concealer, oil-free foundation, and a long wearing loose powder to prevent blemishes and reduce oil and shine.
3. Combination
Combination skin is tricky as it means your skin may be dry in some areas and oily in others. Use a rich moisturizer on the area of your skin that is dry and a toner or oil-managing powder on the area that is oily to create a consistent skin texture.
4. Normal
A well rounded complexion that is neither oily or dry. Since normal complexion is typically clear, it is wonderful to be able to go au’ naturale with your skin and wear just a light moisturizer with SPF and a pretty blush during the day. If you desire a more even look to cover scars or redness, a light foundation is the best choice.
5. Acne-Prone
Skin that is prone to breakouts and blemishes. Mineral foundations allow acne-prone types to breathe which will reduce breakouts while also covering the imperfections.
