"I want to get a day cream but don't know what my skin type is, what should I do?"

Can we find our own skin type?

The answer is YES!

By following the steps below we can have an idea of our skin type ourselves!

Step 1

First and foremost, to make a skin type diagnosis at home, we need:

Step 2

We thoroughly cleanse our face. Careful! We do not peel! Peeling changes the skin pH and this may alter our results.

Step 3

We then answer the following quiz by choosing A. B. C. or D.

Step 4

If we have more A answers, our skin type is probably oily

If we have more B answers, our skin type is probably dry

If we have more C answers, our skin type is a combined one

Is never shiny, instead I often feel (depending on the weather) that I need a face cream

If I slightly pinch my cheek, I realize that:
My skin is thick
My skin is thin
It is thick in some places and thin in others
It is neither thick nor thin
My wrinkles (for the ones of you that have any, of course!) are:
