​Q: How do I determine my skin type and choose the right skincare products accordingly?
A: The easiest way to determine your skin type is to observe your skin throughout the day and after cleansing. There are four main skin types: normal, dry, oily, and combination.

• Normal Skin: If your skin feels balanced, not too oily or too dry, and shows few blemishes, you likely have normal skin.

• Dry Skin: If your skin feels tight, rough, and sometimes flaky, and lacks moisture, you probably have dry skin.

• Oily Skin: If your skin appears shiny and feels greasy, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), you likely have oily skin.

• Combination Skin: If you have a mix of oily and dry areas, typically with an oily T-zone and drier cheeks, you likely have combination skin.
