Discover Your Skin Type! A Gentle Self-Check Course

【Understand Your Skin Type! Gentle Self-Check Course】

1. What is "Skin Type" Anyway?

(Diagram ①: Skin Type Check Guide)

Skin type is determined by the balance of moisture and oil levels. Broadly, there are

Normal
Dry
Oily
Combination
Sensitive
five types (Diagram ①). It changes with birth, seasons, and age, so it's important to review it regularly.

2. Easy 3-Step Self-Check

(Diagram ②: Tissue Test Procedure)

Step	Method	Points
① One-Hour Test After Face Wash	Wash face only → Wait for one hour without applying anything, observe skin condition	Tightness = Dry / Shine = Oily
② Tissue (Oil Blotting Paper) Test (Diagram ②)	Gently press the entire face, observe the oil absorption	No oil stain = Dry, Fully soaked = Oily, T-zone only = Combination
③ Symptom Checklist	□ Feels dry in the evening □ Visible pores □ Makeup easily smudges…	The more characteristics you match, the more it indicates your skin type

Judging by combining all three reduces discrepancies.

3. Skin Type Profiles & Care Tips

Skin Type	Main Signs	Basic Daily Care
Normal	Not concerned about dryness or oiliness, less visible pores	Morning and night → Mild face wash + toner + lotion / Adjust moisture level according to season
Dry Skin	Tightness, flaking, fine lines, makeup floating	Moisture is key! ① Amino acid-based face wash ② Apply moisturizing toner 2-3 times ③ Seal with cream containing ceramide or shea butter
Oily Skin	Excess oil, shine, acne, makeup smudging	Hydration + Remove excess oil ① Morning lukewarm water face wash is okay ② Alcohol-free toner ③ Light gel moisturizer ④ Use oil blotting paper during the day by pressing only
Combination Skin	Shiny T-zone, dry U-zone	Targeted care T-zone: Oil control toner / U-zone: Layer high-moisture cream
Sensitive Skin	Redness, irritation, fluctuation due to pollen or dryness	Low irritation + Barrier strengthening ① Amino acid face wash ② Alcohol and fragrance-free toner ③ High ceramide content moisturizer

4. Skin Type Changes! - How to Deal with Seasons and Age -

Early Spring/Pollen Season: Barrier function easily declines → Strengthen sensitive care
Rainy Season to Summer: Increase in sweat and oil → Add oily care
Autumn to Winter: Decrease in humidity → Add dry care
Late 20s: Decrease in moisture retention → Tendency towards dryness

If you feel "It might not suit me anymore...", do a self-check again!
