Find Your Skin Type With 2 Simple "DIY" Tests
“Skincare is a ritual, not a routine.”
Have you ever wondered about your skin type? Of course, there's oily, normal, combination, and dry skin, but how do you know which type applies to you?
With two straightforward tests, you can identify your skin type. Just because your skin was one way as a teenager doesn't mean that your mature skin will act the same way.
Once you identify your skin type, the next step is determining what to use to make your skin look and feel its best. If you lived your whole life with combination skin only to find your skin is now dry, you may have no idea how to treat it.
Read on to determine how to identify your skin type and what it needs to feel its best.

1. One-Day Test
The easiest way to assess your skin is to take a One-Day Test.
Nothing extraordinary is required, nor do you need any special tools! In the morning, wash your face as you usually do and remove any products from the night before. Then, stop.
Go about your day without applying anything else. No moisturizer, no makeup – just bare-faced you! At the end of the day, evaluate how your skin feels.

Is it shiny and oily? This would imply you have oily skin.
What about your T-zone? Is it the only oily place while the rest of your skin is seemingly normal? Combination skin may be your skin type.
Is your face tight, flakey, and dry? Then you are looking at dry skin.

2. Blot Sheet Method
Grab a pack of blotting sheets from your local drugstore or on Amazon. Blot a sheet on the various areas of your face thirty minutes after you wash your face. Then, hold the sheet up to the light. What do you see?
You presumably have dry skin if you see little to no oil. Is the oil mainly from your forehead or nose? You may be looking at normal or combination skin. If your paper is totally covered – you likely have oily skin.
Leave the oil for cooking
While a dewy complexion can be appealing, oily skin can cause havoc on your face. Layers of dead skin and clogged pores can result from oily skin.

Make exfoliation your best friend. Exfoliating a few times a week keeps the accumulation of dead skin at bay.
Purchase an exfoliating scrub with premium ingredients formulated for mature skin, such as Vibriance's Exfoliating Facial Scrub.
Once you have removed the dead skin, it is easy to assume that you no longer need moisture. Yet, oily skin still needs moisture.
Look for a lightweight moisturizer to prevent further clogging of your pores.

Don’t let your skin dry you out
If you have dry skin, it is no secret that you will feel tightness, even flakiness, throughout the day.
Your skin will feel pulled with every smile.
Dehydration is a significant component of dry skin. Therefore, you must replenish the moisture in your body and face. This starts the second you step out of the shower.
Before completely drying back out, add a moisturizer while still damp. This locks in moisture and increase the effectiveness of your moisturizer.

Treat combination skin
Combination skin can be tricky. You are oily in your T-zone area and dry around the cheeks, eyes, and mouth. So how do you treat skin like this?
On the oily parts, attack them with exfoliation. Then on the entire face, apply a lightweight moisturizer.
Make sure to use non-comedogenic products. These are products specifically made to not clog the pores.
