Understanding your skin type is crucial for selecting the right skin care products. Understanding your skin type can help determine which product is best for you and your skin.

For instance, oily skin may require lightweight product with skin-rebalancing flowers to prevent clogging pores, while dry skin benefits from rich, hydrating formulations. Identifying your skin type will help you address specific concerns effectively.

In this article, we will cover how to identify your skin type, and which products would be best suited for your skin. By following this guide, you will be able to build a skin care routine that is curated for you.

Step 1: Identify Your Skin Type

Identifying your skin type can be done through a simple test. Start by cleansing your face and leaving it bare for about an hour. After that, observe how your skin feels.

  • Normal: Balanced, neither too oily nor too dry.
  • Oily: Excess shine, enlarged pores, prone to breakouts.
  • Dry: Tight, flaky, or rough texture.
  • Combination: Oily in some areas (typically the T-zone), dry in others.
  • Sensitive: Easily irritated, reacts to many products.

Knowing your skin type is the first step in choosing the right products.

Skin Care Secrete: Look for Key Ingredients Based on Your Skin Type

Different skin types respond well to different ingredients. For oily skin, look for Colored Silene or Iris, which can help reduce excess oil and prevent breakouts. Dry skin, on the other hand, benefits from Orchid and Buckwheat flower for moisture retention.

Sensitive skin should seek out soothing ingredients like Cotton Flower or Moroccan Rose, while those with combination skin may find success with products that balance both oily and dry areas, such as lightweight moisturizers.

Step 2: Choose the Right Cleanser & Toner

Cleansing and toning the skin will remove dirt, oil, and impurities that build up throughout the day, keeping your skin fresh and prepped for the rest of your routine.

  • Oily skin: Gel or foam cleansers with Cristus and Apricot, Cherry, and Kernel powders to remove makeup, impurities, and excess sebum. 
  • Dry skin: Hydrating creamy cleanser with Sunflower oil and coconut extract to protect the lipid barrier and maintain hydration. 
  • Sensitive skin: Gentle, fragrance free formulas with soothing ingredients like Gorse floral water.

Why This Matters: A good cleanser and toner set the foundation for healthy skin by ensuring your clean and clear pores without stripping away essential moisture.

Step 3: Pick the Best Moisturizer

Moisturizing your skin will strengthen your skin barrier, prevent dehydration, and protect your skin from external damage.

  • Oily skin: Lightweight or gel moisturizers.
  • Dry skin: Rich creams with ingredients like Orchid or White Lily.
  • Sensitive skin: Minimalist formulas with calming ingredients Lavender flower and everlasting corrective pearls...

Why This Matters: No matter what your skin type, hydration is key to plump, smooth, and a radiant complexion.

Step 4: Target Concerns with Serums & Treatments

Serums are concentrated formulas designed to address specific skin concerns, from dullness to fine lines.

  • Dullness: Star Lily brightening.
  • Acne-prone skin: Iris exceptional mattifying and purifying powers.
  • Fine lines: Acmella smoothing and firming.
  • Redness: Soothing ingredients like Moroccan Rose.
