To take good care of your skin and make the right product choices, you still need to know your skin type. You do not know how ? A TikToker offers a very simple technique online.
Stars and all people who take great care of their skin never repeat it enough: for beautiful skin, find the right skincare routine! But how do you choose your range of moisturizing, mattifying creams, etc., when you don’t know your skin type?
A simple tissue to determine your skin type
Of course, it is always possible to make a diagnosis with a dermatologist, a beautician, or to submit to online questionnaires on the subject. But a skin expert known as @skincarebylouisoff on TikTok brings us a much more accessible and simple technique. Which only requires a tissue.
According to him, it would be enough to follow a three-step plan:
- Clean your face well with a soap intended for this purpose;
- Wait 30 minutes to an hour for the skin to be dry and without any artifice;
- Take a clean, dry tissue and pat your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. (For more details you can use one tissue per area).
Three possible outcomes according to the expert
So, after tapping (and not rubbing, says the expert) your epidermis in different strategic places with your handkerchief, several results should appear:
- If traces appear, your skin is oily;
- If no trace appears, your skin is dry;
- If some areas show a mark while others do not, your skin is combination.
Precise information that will allow you to choose the right products for you from now on: moisturizing or nourishing products for dry skin, mattifying or sebum-regulating active ingredients for oily skin, and products suitable for combination skin.
