Can Your Skin Type Change?
While your skin type is largely determined by genetics, it can be influenced by various factors such as hormones, climate, and skincare habits. Temporary changes may occur due to seasonal transitions or lifestyle adjustments, but your fundamental skin type typically remains consistent.
How to Determine Your Skin Type:
- Cleanse Your Face: Use a gentle cleanser to remove makeup and impurities. Pat dry with a clean towel.
- Wait for 1-2 Hours: Allow your skin to return to its natural state without applying any products.
- Observe Your Skin: Note any signs of dryness, oiliness, or sensitivity. Pay attention to how your skin feels and looks in different areas of your face.
- Perform the Blotting Test: Press a blotting paper or tissue against various areas of your face to assess oiliness. Note where the paper picks up the most oil.
