Shereene Idriss walks through a 30-minute test to find your skin type: wash your face, wait without products, then check if it feels rough (dry), shiny (oily), tight (dehydrated), or oily in the T-zone only (combination). Dehydrated skin loses water; dry skin lacks oil.
So many people live their life without knowing what their skin type is. So a very easy way to figure out what your skin type is in the morning. Yeah. How do when you wake up, just wash with water and see how your skin feels after 30 minutes. After. Just after washing. Yeah. Go cook breakfast, take care of your kids. Whatever it is, don't do your skincare. Just let your skin breathe and see how your skin feels after 30 minutes. If your skin feels rough and scaly, then you probably have dry skin. You're not making enough oil. If your skin looks all of a sudden slip and slide a little too shiny, you're probably on the oilier side. And acne prone combination tends to get just oily in the T zone where they're a little bit drier on the sides. And then if your skin feels super tight and squeaky clean, even just with water, you're probably dehydrated and dehydrated and dry are different. They're different. You can be dry and dehydrated. I think I'm dry and dehydrated. Yeah. You're losing water and dry as you have not enough oil.
