LESSON 1 · Skin Science
Five Skin Types
What each type means for your product choices:
- Normal: balanced oil, few breakouts, tolerates most products
- Oily: excess sebum, visible pores, needs lightweight non-comedogenic products
- Dry: too little oil, feels tight, may flake, needs rich moisturizers
- Combination: oily T-zone with dry or normal cheeks, treat by zone
- Sensitive: reacts easily, redness or stinging, needs fragrance-free formulas
Many people are combination but think they are oily because they only notice the shiny T-zone. Testing the cheeks separately reveals the full picture.
