Before you start lathering your skin with many products trying to clear acne, eczema or dry patches you need to be clear about what type your skin is in order to equip it with what it requires.

You can know your skin type by conducting a small experiment , which is clean your skin as you normally do and wait for an hour and during this time resist the temptation to touch it.

If it feels itchy and has some dry patches then you have dry skin

If it feels shiny and greasy especially in the T-zone and on the cheeks then you have oily skin

If it feels good like neither too dry or oily then you probably have normal skin which you are damn lucky to be born with!

If your skin feels greasy on the T-zone and normal on the cheeks then you have Combination skin

If your skin feels itchy and becomes red then you probably have sensitive skin.
Now there is another type which everyone of us will probably be confused about that is the dehydrated skin type. It generally is difficult to find if your skin is dehydrated instead of any other type as the effects shown will probably be same as other types.

It is necessary to know your skin type before you may aggravate your skin condition instead of actually treating it.
