OILY

Skin tends to produce excess oil, leading to a shiny appearance, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). It is prone to enlarged pores and is more susceptible to blemishes and breakouts due to the buildup of oil and debris.

How it feels: slick and greasy to the touch, particularly in the T-zone.

DRY

Check for flakiness, tightness, or rough patches, particularly after cleansing. It may appear dull and flaky, especially in colder months or in dry climates. Dry skin can be sensitive to harsh skincare products and may be more susceptible to signs of premature ageing like fine lines and wrinkles, which usually appear due to dry skin lacking the delicate balance of oils and moisture, slowing down cell turnover, and making it more vulnerable to damage from pollutants and UV rays.

How it feels: tight, rough, or flaky, indicating a lack of moisture.

SENSITIVE

Look for signs of redness, itching, or inflammation, especially in reaction to certain products or environmental factors. 

Easily irritated by external factors such as weather, skincare products, or environmental pollutants. Among other causes, sensitivity can be the result of an underlying skin condition, a weakened skin barrier, or environmental factors such as weather or pollutants. It may react with redness, itching, or burning sensations. 

How it feels: skin can react negatively to touch, showing signs of redness or irritation. Note that not all sensitive skin will necessarily react to this test, depending on its degree of sensitivity.

NORMAL

Normal skin is well-balanced with neither excessive oiliness nor dryness. It typically has a smooth texture, small pores, and a healthy-looking complexion. Normal skin is less prone to sensitivity or breakouts, making it the least problematic of all skin types. Look for a consistent texture and colouration without excess shine, dryness, or visible signs of sensitivity.

How it feels: when you touch normal skin, it feels neither excessively oily nor dry. It has a consistent texture and feels smooth to the touch. Normal skin typically does not show signs of redness, irritation, or noticeable bumps.
