To determine your skin type, look for common characteristics such as oiliness and sensitivity. You can also consult a dermatologist for an accurate evaluation.
When looking for common characteristics of your skin type, pay attention to how oily or dry it is. Oily skin will appear shinier and more prone to breakouts. Dry skin may feel tight, flaky or rough in texture as well as appear duller than normal. Sensitivity can often be identified by redness, rashes and irritation when exposed to certain products or environmental factors like sun exposure. Its important to note that all the different types of skin can experience these symptoms but they may be more exaggerated if you have sensitive skin.
If youre having difficulty determining what type of skin you have on your own, an evaluation from a dermatologist is recommended in order to get an accurate assessment. During this appointment you will discuss any current concerns about your complexion such as acne flare-ups or discoloration. In addition, the doctor may use a specialized device called a cutometer which measures elasticity levels across different areas of the face so that they can make an even more precise diagnosis based on their findings along with other observations made during the consultation.
The results from this examination should provide helpful information which can then be used to create a tailored skincare routine specifically designed for your needs and best suited for achieving clear healthy looking skin long term!
