How to Identify Your Skin Type
A simple starting point is to cleanse your face, leave it without skincare for a short period, and observe how it feels. Skin that becomes noticeably shiny may indicate oiliness, while tight or uncomfortable skin may suggest dryness. If some areas become oily while others feel dry, you may have combination skin.
Your skin can also change with weather, age, hormones, lifestyle, and the products you use. In Sri Lanka’s warm and humid climate, your skin may feel different throughout the year, so avoid treating your skin type as something that can never change.
