A less expensive, but also less accurate method is to do everything yourself. The main tool is the eyes, auxiliary materials are a paper napkin, water and a mirror. We choose good lighting and carefully examine all parts of the face, note the main markers of each skin type:

Enlarged pores, areas of inflammation, oily sheen at any time of the day, black dots on the nose or chin, the density and friability of the surface indicate oily skin;
If you apply a paper napkin to your forehead, nose and cheeks, oily skin leaves traces;
Excessive tightness, premature wrinkles, a bright venous pattern, a feeling of tightness, a tendency to peel, unpleasant sensations in the street and under the sun speak of dry skin;
Dryness can be detected with water - when washing, insufficiently moisturized skin will experience discomfort;
If you did not find any of the listed signs on the face, and the skin color is healthy with a blush, the skin is soft to the touch, but elastic, we can talk about the normal type.

It is important! To apply cream, remove makeup or apply tonic, certain auxiliary materials are used - spatulas, sponges, cotton pads. They must be disposable! The fundamental point, because on the left cotton pad with the remnants of the cream, colonies of bacteria are formed in a matter of hours, which then safely migrate to the skin of the face.

Skin types
Before choosing cosmetics and the necessary daily manipulations, you need to determine how your skin will react to various substances in each area. There are situations when one cream is used for the eyelids and under the eyes, another for the “T” zone, and a third for the rest of the surface. Almost 80% of women of all ages have combination skin to varying degrees. And in order to understand how to choose cosmetics and how to apply them for maximum effect, you need to know your skin type.

With age, the type of skin in a certain area can change, for example, under the eyes after 30, the skin becomes thinner and drier, and requires more intensive hydration and careful treatment.

Dryness, peeling can appear even on oily skin with improper care;
