Simple Skincare Routine

Want a simple skincare routine but not sure what skin type you have?

Do this test:

1. Wash your face with an unscented gentle soap, then pat dry (don't add any products to your face either)
2. Determine if your skin gets...

• Shiny (whole face) = Oily Skin
• Semi-Shiny (cheeks & "T-zone") = Combination Skin
• Dry/Rough = Dry Skin
• N/A (neither of the above) = Normal Skin

Now that you know, enjoy researching the best products for you!

Here is a great beginner's skincare routine:

DAILY
