What’s Your Skin Type?
Do you have dry or oily, combination or flaky sensitive skin? Here is an easy way to know which is what, which would tell you the types of skin and body creams you can best use for your skin.
1. Combination Skin Type
Such skin types would have the nose and the forehead, the chin too pretty much shiny and oily, and where breakouts tend to happen as well. The areas around the eyes, the temple zone and the cheeks (T ZONE) are dry, and can change as per the climes or the season around.

2. Oily Skin Type
This skin type is the worst to deal with when the Indian summers beat around, but best for winter and cold climes. The face would feel like a moist sponge mostly and with shiny touches all over, especially when the mid afternoon time happens that’s when the skin is oiliest. Pores are clogged and the skin has issues such as blackheads and whiteheads, cystic zits and pimples that pop around the facial zone.

3. Normal Skin Type
Radiant and smooth, a skin type that reflects light very evenly across the face and a balanced complexion all over as well! Such skin types aren’t too oily or dry and very rarely would such skin have breakouts too- such a desire to have isn’t it? Changes in the skin are rare, and one can use any product without worrying about skin issues as such.

4. Sensitive And Dry
Sensitive and dry skin types flush very fast and have reddish tinges around the face, especially the cheeks. Rash like conditions, rosacea and eczema prone, such skin types are quite rough to touch and feel, any time of the day. One has to be very careful whilst choosing makeup and types of skin and body creams, for such skin types.
