Are you using multiple facial treatments without seeing any improvement? Often, the real problem isn't the quality of the products... But their suitability for your skin. Oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, or normal skin: how can you recognize your skin type in a few simple steps? Nooance Paris guides you to better understand your skin and finally adopt a personalized beauty routine that really makes a difference.
What is your skin type? The differences to recognize
There are mainly 4 skin types.
Oily skin
These are skin types that tend to become shiny throughout the day due to excess sebum throughout the face. These skin types are recognized by the presence of pimples and enlarged pores.
Combination skin
This is the most common skin type. Combination skin sometimes has excess sebum and therefore shine in certain areas of the face, mainly in the T-zone: chin, nose, and forehead. In contrast, other areas of the face, such as the cheeks, are rather normal to dry.
Dry skin
Redness, tightness, sensitivity... these are the telltale signs of dry or dehydrated skin. Dry skin feels uncomfortable due to a lack of sebum and hyperreactivity.
Normal skin
She has no particular problems and reacts quite well to care products.
Generally, skin types change little during adulthood. However, skin condition can vary depending on several external factors such as pollution, lifestyle, hormonal fluctuations, or the weather. For example, it's common to have sensitive or drier skin in winter and skin that becomes oily more easily in summer when the climate is hot and humid.
How to easily know your skin type?
This is an essential step in choosing the right skincare products: identifying your skin types helps you avoid basic skincare mistakes that can make your routine ineffective in the long run.
Test No. 1: Observe your skin naturally
After cleansing your skin with water only, let it dry, without cream or makeup, and wait 30 minutes to 1 hour. After this time, observe the general condition of your face.
- Is your skin starting to shine, produce sebum, and are your pores visible? Then you have oily skin.
- If it only shines in certain areas (forehead, nose, chin) and is drier in others (cheeks), you have combination skin.
- Your skin feels tight, it quickly becomes uncomfortable and itchy: then it is dry skin or reactive skin.
Test No. 2: Identify your skin problems
Every day, your skin may experience skin reactions or symptoms that require special care. Understanding your specific needs is essential to choosing the right products that truly work.
- Imperfections: pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, papules…
- Pigmentation spots: brown spots, uneven or dull complexion.
- Signs of aging: presence of wrinkles and fine lines, loss of elasticity, sagging skin.
- Signs of dehydration: fine lines, lack of suppleness, cardboard appearance.
- Signs of discomfort (sensitive skin): feelings of tightness, persistent redness, tingling, itching, etc.
To determine skin types, we also recommend seeking the advice of a professional: beautician, dermatologist, or having a skin diagnosis done in certain shops or cosmetic institutes.
