Preparation is key to get to know Yourself!

When trying to determine your skin type, there are a few key factors to pay attention to. Observe your moisture levels to assess the hydration levels of your skin. This is equally as important for oily skin as it is for dry skin since you can indeed suffer from oily skin that is dried out and therefore produces accessive amounts of sebum to keep your skin moisturised.
Also, take note of your pore size. Oily & acne prone skin tend to have larger pores, especially in the T-zone, due to increased sebum production. Dry skin usually has smaller or less visible pores but comes along with earlier signs of fine lines, due to lack of moisture. It is also crucial to assess how your skin reacts to sun exposure and adapt your sun protection accordingly.
