How to Determine Your Skin Type:
• Conduct a simple tissue test:
• Wash and dry your face, then tear a tissue into four pieces.
• Place one piece on your forehead, nose, cheek, and chin.
• Assess how the tissue reacts to determine your skin type based on the results.

Understanding your skin type is the first step towards achieving a personalized skincare regimen that addresses your specific concerns and goals. Whether you’re aiming for a radiant glow or combatting signs of aging, embracing your skin’s unique characteristics will lead to a happier, healthier complexion.
