What’s My Skin Type - and How Do I Know?

Understanding your skin type is the first step toward truly healthy, radiant skin. Every face tells a different story, and knowing what your skin needs helps you choose the right products, textures, and ingredients that actually work for you.

🌿 The Five Main Skin Types

1. Balanced Skin

Normal, neither too oily nor too dry.

• Feels: Smooth and comfortable throughout the day.
  
  
• Looks: Even tone, small pores, few breakouts.
  
  
• Care Tip: Maintain balance with gentle cleansers and light hydration.

2. Dry Skin

Lacks moisture and natural oils.

• Feels: Tight after washing, sometimes rough or flaky.
  
  
• Looks: Dull, uneven texture, fine lines more visible.
  
  
• Care Tip: Focus on nourishment - use hydrating cleansers, rich creams, and ingredients like hyaluronic acid or Dead Sea minerals to restore moisture balance.

3. Oily Skin

Produces excess sebum (oil).

• Feels: Greasy by midday, especially on the forehead, nose, and chin.
  
  
• Looks: Shiny with enlarged pores and possible breakouts.
  
  
• Care Tip: Use lightweight, non-comedogenic products. Gentle exfoliation and mineral-based masks can help balance oil without over-drying.

4. Combination Skin

A mix of oily and dry areas.

• Feels: Oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), dry on cheeks.
  
  
• Looks: Uneven texture and shine.
  
  
• Care Tip: Balance is key - use light hydration and targeted care. A Dead Sea mud mask can purify the T-zone while nourishing drier areas.

5. Sensitive Skin

Reacts easily to products or environmental changes.

• Feels: Itchy, red, or irritated after using some products.
  
  
• Looks: Flushed or blotchy.
  
  
• Care Tip: Choose fragrance-free, gentle formulas with calming minerals and natural ingredients. Patch test before applying new products.
