The very first step of your skincare routine is cleansing to create a smooth, clean base, ready for our other products to be thoughtfully layered. Without a cleanser? Or simple using water? You unfortunately won’t get a thorough enough clean and lead the way for pore-clogging and dirt-building. We can easily avoid this though, so you’re on your way to creating the skin of your dreams.
To start its always best to have some idea of your skin type. To determine this, there’s a few simple signs to follow.Â
Does your whole face become shiny and slick by the end of the day? This is oily skin.Â
Does your skin become shiny around the T-zone yet no signs of oil anywhere else? You could be a combination skin type.Â
If your skin feels hydrated and comfortable daily, you are most likely a normal skin type.Â
Feelings of tightness, scaly skin and rough patches is a sign of dry skin.Â
