It’s very important to know what type of skin you have. If you know and understand your skin type, its easy to know the types of products you need to buy and use. We have decided it’s best we learn this first before we move on to any make-up tutorials. Applying make-up can affect your skin, especially if it’s sensitive, so we need to learn how to take care of it properly<\/p>\n

To determine your skin type if you are not sure, you can perform the following:<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Wash your face and gently pat dry<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Leave your face alone for a few hours without putting any make-up or product on<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Using oil blotting paper, dab on one area of the face at a time<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Look at the paper to see which areas leave an oily residue on the paper (if any)<\/p>\n

Do note that your T-zone (forehead and nose) are naturally a little oily<\/p>\n

\"Normal<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"combination<\/a><\/p>\n

\"dry<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Oily<\/a><\/p>\n

\"sensitive<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you know your skin type, you can now match products that will work best for it:<\/p>\n

Dry Skin:<\/strong> Use lotions and creams<\/p>\n

Oily Skin:<\/strong> Use gels and liquids<\/p>\n

Combination Skin:<\/strong> Use liquids, lotions and serums<\/p>\n

Sensitive skin:<\/strong> Use liquids, lotions and serums<\/p>\n
