Identifying your skin type (oily, dry, combination)
Listening to your skin's voice rather than following trends to select the optimal skincare product line is the key to maintaining smooth skin.
Oily skin: Excessive sebum secretion causes severe shine all over the face, and enlarged pores create an environment prone to breakouts.
Dry skin: Lacking both oil and moisture, it feels extremely tight immediately after washing the face, and is prone to flaking and fine wrinkles.
Combination skin: Condition varies by area. It exhibits duality, with the forehead and nose (T-zone) being oily, while the cheeks and chin (U-zone) are dry.
Self-diagnosis and precautions
Diagnostic method: Observe whether the skin feels tight or oily for 1 to 2 hours after washing the face without applying anything.
Prevention of Misuse: Using highly nourishing creams (for oily skin) or excessive cleansing (for dry skin) that do not suit your type damages the skin barrier and causes milia.
Conclusion: Listening to your skin's voice rather than following trends and selecting the optimal skincare product line is the key to maintaining smooth skin.
