What’s Your Skin Type? Let’s Find Out!

Hey beauties! Ever wonder why some skincare products work like a dream for your bestie but not for you? The secret is knowing your skin type! Figuring it out is the first step to glowing, healthy skin—because the right products can make all the difference. So, let’s break it down in a fun, simple way (no confusing science talk, I promise!). Grab a mirror, and let’s find out what your skin is really telling you!

1. Dry Skin – Always Thirsty

Does your skin feel tight, flaky, or rough, especially after washing your face? If yes, you’ve got dry skin, babe! Your skin craves moisture like a tall glass of water on a hot day.

What you need:

  • Hydrating cleansers (no harsh soaps!)
  • Rich, nourishing creams with ceramides or hyaluronic acid
  • Hydrating serums and oils (like squalane or rosehip)
  • Avoid alcohol-heavy toners—they just dry you out more!

💖Try this: Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner - Haruharu Wonder for deep hydration!

2. Oily Skin – Shine Bright (But Not Like That)

If your face gets shiny within a few hours of washing and makeup slides right off, you probably have oily skin. The good news? Your skin naturally stays youthful longer (yay!). The challenge? Keeping that glow under control.

What you need:

  • Lightweight, gel-based moisturizers (yes, you still need moisture!)
  • Oil-balancing cleansers with salicylic acid
  • Clay masks to absorb excess oil
  • Non-comedogenic products (so your pores stay happy)

💖Try this: Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil—cleans without clogging!

3. Combination Skin – A Little Bit of Everything

Shiny T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) but dry cheeks? Welcome to the combination skin club! You get the best (and worst) of both worlds, which means you need a balanced routine.

What you need:

  • Gentle, non-stripping cleansers
  • Lightweight hydration for dry areas, oil-free formulas for your T-zone
  • Multi-masking: Clay mask for oily spots, hydrating mask for dry areas

💖Try this: Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner—hydrating but not heavy!

4. Sensitive Skin – Handle With Care

Does your skin get red, irritated, or itchy easily? You might have sensitive skin (ugh, we know how tricky it can be!). The key is using soothing, gentle products without harsh ingredients.

What you need:

  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and hypoallergenic formulas
  • Calming ingredients like Centella Asiatica, green tea, or heartleaf
  • Always patch test new products before applying all over!

💖Try this: Anua Peach 70% Niacin Serum—brightens without irritation!

5. Normal Skin – Lucky You!

Your skin isn’t too dry, too oily, or too sensitive—it’s just right! If this sounds like you, congrats, you’ve won the skincare lottery! But that doesn’t mean you can skip a routine.

What you need:

  • A solid, simple routine (cleanse, tone, moisturize, SPF!)
  • Hydrating and balancing products to maintain that glow
  • Occasional exfoliation to keep your skin fresh

💖Try this: Mixsoon Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum—lightweight but super hydrating!

How to Find Your Skin Type

Still unsure? Here’s a quick test:

1️⃣ Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2️⃣ Don’t apply anything—wait 30 minutes.
3️⃣ Check how your skin feels:

  • Tight & flaky? Dry
  • Shiny all over? Oily
  • Shiny T-zone, dry cheeks? Combination
  • Red, irritated, or reactive? Sensitive
  • Balanced, not too oily or dry? Normal

Got it? Now that you know your skin type, it’s time to find the perfect K-Beauty products to match! Ready to glow? ✨
