At Maloney Plastic Surgery, we offer a wide variety of skincare treatments to improve the tone and texture of your skin. However, the best type of procedure for you often depends on your individual skin type. Without knowing what your unique skin needs, you could be wasting time on ineffective procedures. Read on to find out how you can determine your skin type and which of our procedures can best help you achieve your skincare goals.
Wash Your Face
One of the easiest ways to determine your skin type is to wash your face. Use a facial cleanser to gently clean your skin and carefully pat it dry. Once your skin is dry, wait about half an hour without putting on any moisturizer or serums and observe your skin in a mirror.
- Skin looks shiny: Oily skin
- Skin feels tight and appears flaky: Dry skin
- Skin is shiny only on T-zone: Combination skin
- Skin feels hydrated but not oily: Normal skin
Skin Sensitivity
In addition to the four skin types listed above, you could also have sensitive skin. For example, it is possible to have skin that is both dry and sensitive. If your skin does not react well to products with strong fragrances or harsh ingredients like glycolic acid, it is likely that you have sensitive skin.
