There are four main skin types: normal, dry, oily, and combination. And while there are endless variations within each category, understanding which one you fall into is a helpful starting point.
Normal skin is well-balanced, with few imperfections and no extreme sensitivity. Normal skin is the most accessible type of skin to treat. Any moisturizer will do the trick, but you might want to look for one that contains SPF to protect against sun damage.
Dry skin the lack of natural oils in the skin. You probably fall into this category if your skin feels tight, itchy, or flaky. When choosing a moisturizer, look for something oil-based with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which help lock in moisture.
Oily skin is the opposite of dry skin, characterized by an overproduction of natural oils. If your skin looks shiny and greasy, you probably have oily skin. When choosing a moisturizer, look for something oil-free and non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog your pores.
Combination skin is a mix of both dry and oily skin. You probably fall into this category if your skin is dry in some areas and oily in others. When choosing a moisturizer, look for a light and oil-free kind, it will help control the oiliness without drying out the dry areas.
Now that you know your skin type, you're one step closer to finding the perfect moisturizer for you. Remember to read the labels carefully and always test a small amount on your skin before applying it. And of course, if you have any concerns, be sure to consult with a dermatologist.
