Know your skin type
Before selecting products, it is important to know what type of skin you have, such as dry, oily, or combination, which makes it easier to select product.

After that, observe what you notice on your skin, for example, if your skin feels tight, then it is dry, if your skin feels oily, then you have an oily skin type, and if your T-zone feels oily while your cheeks feel dry, then your skin type is combination, and if you don’t observe anything, then you have a normal skin type.
Start with a cleanser
