It is quite simple and can be done on your own.

1. Thoroughly cleanse your skin of makeup and impurities.

2. Allow your skin to rest for two to three hours.

3. In natural daylight, using a magnifying mirror, carefully examine your skin for enlarged pores, flakiness, and oily shine.

4. Apply a thin, dry tissue to your skin to determine if it is oily.

If there are oily spots on the tissue, your skin has high sebum production, indicating oily skin.

If there are slightly noticeable traces, your skin is normal.

If the tissue remains dry, you have dry skin.

This test can answer the question of how to determine your skin type. Properly chosen skincare products after this test will help you maintain the natural beauty of your skin longer, improve its condition, and feel young, beautiful, and satisfied with your appearance for longer.

1. Thoroughly remove makeup and cleanse your skin of impurities using a cleansing foam or hydrophilic oil (whether you wear makeup or not).

2. Moisturize your skin in the morning and evening.

3. Use facial serum in courses, preferably in autumn and spring.

4. Pamper your skin with face masks 1-2 times a week. The best time to apply face masks is from 9 PM to 11 PM. During this time, your skin has the highest absorption potential for the substances applied, resulting in better outcomes!

5. Protect your skin from aggressive UV rays all year round with sunscreen.

1. Remove makeup and cleanse your face with hydrophilic oil. It gently removes makeup and cleanses the skin without drying it out.

2. Always use a moisturizing toner between the cleansing and cream application steps. This helps better hydrate the skin and enhances nutrient absorption.

3. Use serums with hyaluronic acid or collagen in courses.

4. Choose a good moisturizing cream for summer and an intensive nourishing cream for the cold season. Always use a thick protective cream before going outside in frosty or windy weather.

5. Regularly use face masks: sheet masks, overnight masks, and alginate masks. Sheet masks are especially beneficial as they provide more intensive nourishment and hydration. The best time to apply face masks is from 9 PM to 11 PM, as the skin has the highest absorption potential during this period, resulting in better outcomes!

6. Protect your skin from aggressive UV rays all year round with sunscreen.

7. Drink plenty of water and take vitamins. Your diet should include a lot of beneficial microelements and fatty acids. Taking Omega-3 fatty acids in capsules can be particularly beneficial.

By following all these skincare rules for dry skin, your skin will thank you, and you will be rewarded with an even skin tone, smooth and beautiful skin without wrinkles, tightness, or flakiness! Moreover, with proper and regular care, there is a good chance that dry skin will eventually become normal, making you feel more comfortable and confident. Your skin will stay youthful and beautiful for longer!1

It’s important to find a balance and use dry skin care tips for dry areas of the face while thoroughly cleansing and mattifying the T-zone with products for oily skin.

1. Combination skin, like oily skin, requires thorough cleansing. It’s recommended to wash your face with a cleansing foam both in the morning and evening. Use cool water to rinse off the foam as it tightens pores and eliminates flakiness. Avoid hot water as it dries out dry skin and makes oily skin greasier. Hydrophilic oil is excellent for gently dissolving makeup and cleansing pores, and should be rinsed off with cleansing foam.

2. Regular face peeling (1-2 times a week) with peeling pads is essential. These products help remove dead skin cells and reduce sebum production in the central part of the face. Pay special attention to the T-zone when exfoliating, while being very gentle with the dry cheeks to avoid redness.

3. In the mornings, apply cream to cleansed facial skin. Use two different products — one for dry (or normal) areas and another for oily skin. Although it might seem tedious at first, using two creams will quickly become a habit, and you’ll notice an improvement in your skin’s condition. First, apply a lightweight moisturizing cream (or emulsion) suitable for oily and inflamed skin to your entire face. Then, apply a richer cream to the cheeks. Alternatively, you can use a single cream for combination skin, but the effect will be less significant than using two specialized products.

4. For combination skin, the skin around the eyes is usually very dry, leading to the quick formation of fine lines and crow’s feet. To slow down their appearance, it’s essential to use moisturizing products for the eye area. Apply eye cream with light tapping motions in the morning and evening. Using sheet or hydrogel eye patches also yields excellent results.

5. Cosmetic masks are an integral part of a comprehensive skincare routine for combination skin. Use masks 2-3 times a week, focusing on the most effective ones. Pay special attention to alginate masks. The best time to apply face masks is from 9 PM to 11 PM, as the skin has the highest absorption potential during this period, resulting in better outcomes!

Regardless of your skin type, proper care and protection are essential to avoid additional issues such as sensitivity. Stressors like windburn, sunburn, frostbite, and dehydration can lead to red spots, flakiness, acne, and pimples. Sensitive skin is prone to allergic reactions from sun exposure and cosmetic products. Therefore, cosmetologists advise learning how to correctly identify your skin type and how to care for it properly.

1. Daily thorough cleansing of the skin in the morning and evening is essential. Always remove makeup at night to prevent rapid development of inflammation and breakouts. Choose special deep-cleansing foams with antibacterial components, such as green tea, snail mucin, and baking soda. Hydrophilic oil is excellent for dissolving and washing away pore contents, so it’s recommended to remove makeup and cleanse with it in the evening, followed by a cleansing foam.

2. After washing, always use a toner to tighten pores and hydrate the skin.

3. A common mistake for those with oily skin is constantly trying to dry out their skin to eliminate shine. This only dehydrates the skin, potentially causing redness and inflammation. If the skin lacks hydration, it will produce more sebum to hydrate itself, which you don’t want. During the summer and hot weather, a toner (not tonic!) or a light emulsion is enough for daytime hydration. In the evening, always use a moisturizing cream.

In cold weather, use a cream both in the morning and evening. Without a protective cream layer, skin is at risk of redness and increased sensitivity during frost.

4. Regular use of masks that control sebum production and reduce inflammation is crucial. Ideal options include alginate masks, clay masks, and masks with various plant extracts. The best time to apply face masks is from 9 PM to 11 PM, as the skin has the highest absorption potential during this period, leading to better results.
