What Kind of Skin Do You Have

Dry Skin

To be able to know which skin type you have is a basic step in trying to have beautiful skin. After all, your skin type will determine what you need to work on and which products to use. This is a simple and very easy method of finding out your skin type.

1. Wash your face. Quite simply use water and soap to cleanse and purify your skin. Dab your face with a towel to dry.
2. Cut a small piece of clear sticky tape (sometimes known as Sellotape) around 3cm long. Smooth it gently onto the centre of your forehead.
3. Cut another strip of tape and smooth it onto the centre of your cheek.
4. Now cut one last strip and place it evenly onto the bridge of your nose.
5. Gently rub the pieces of tape on your face to get rid of air bubbles and make sure the tape is flat. Don't press too hard though.
6. Now remove the first strip from your skin slowly. Be careful not to hurt yourself.
7. Examine the sticky side of it. It should have either dry flakes, tiny drops of oil/moisture or a combination of both on it.
8. One by one, check all the strips. If you have dry flakes, you have dry skin. If droplets, then your skin is oily. A little of both means that you have combination skin.
9. Now you know your skin type! You can go ahead and follow the beauty routines you would have liked to.
