Get to Know your Skin Type
First of all, know your skin type and choose products that suit you best. Dermatologists suggested generally there are four different types of skin type: sensitive, oily, dry, and combination. And one must use only the right products that suit their skin type. That way your skin will look youthful & fresh by all means. But how can someone find its skin type without any experts?
According to dermatologists, try this easy test. And find out your skin type at home?
Wash your hands and face then dry them. Now stick 3 small pieces of tape on your face: on the forehead, on the length of your nose, and across the check & jawline. Remove the tapes after 3-5 minutes. If you see small flakes then it is dry skin. If you see oil drops then it's oily skin and if you see a bit of both then combination skin. If there’s redness then you have a sensitive skin
