Written by Alex Paul  »  Updated on: January 08th, 2025

At Skinglam by Faithfull, we believe that understanding your unique skin type is the first step towards achieving radiant and healthy skin. Each skin type requires tailored care, and with the right natural skincare products, you can nurture and enhance your skin’s natural beauty. In this guide, we’ll help you identify your skin type and recommend suitable natural skincare products, including the benefits of our signature Whipped Body Butter.

How to Identify Your Skin Type

Your skin type is determined by several factors, including genetics, environmental influences, and your skincare routine. Here are the primary skin types and tips on how to identify yours:

1. Oily Skin

Characteristics:

Shiny or greasy appearance

Enlarged pores

Prone to acne, blackheads, and whiteheads

How to Identify:

If your skin feels greasy shortly after cleansing and you notice a persistent shine, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), you likely have oily skin.

Natural Skincare Recommendations:

Cleanser: Opt for a gentle, oil-balancing cleanser with tea tree or charcoal.

Toner: Witch hazel or rose water toners help minimize pores.

Moisturizer: Use lightweight, non-comedogenic options like aloe vera gel or jojoba oil to maintain hydration without clogging pores.

2. Dry Skin

Characteristics:

Flaky or rough texture

Tightness, especially after cleansing

Dull or uneven tone

How to Identify:

If your skin feels tight or uncomfortable after washing and tends to flake, it’s a sign of dryness.

Natural Skincare Recommendations:

Cleanser: Use a hydrating cream cleanser with ingredients like oatmeal or honey.

Moisturizer: Deeply nourish with products like our Whipped Body Butter, formulated with shea butter and essential oils for intense hydration.

Exfoliant: Gentle exfoliation with sugar scrubs helps remove dead skin cells.

3. Combination Skin

Characteristics:

Oily in the T-zone

Dry or normal on the cheeks

Visible pores in oily areas

How to Identify:

Combination skin is characterized by dryness on the cheeks and shininess in the T-zone. If your skin exhibits both oily and dry areas, this is your type.

Natural Skincare Recommendations:

Cleanser: Use a balanced cleanser with green tea or chamomile.

Moisturizer: Apply lightweight hydration to the T-zone and richer creams to drier areas.

Mask: Multi-masking with clay masks for oily areas and hydrating masks for dry zones can work wonders.

4. Sensitive Skin

Characteristics:

Easily irritated by skincare products

Redness, itching, or burning sensations

Prone to inflammation or rashes

How to Identify:

Sensitive skin reacts quickly to new products or environmental changes, such as weather or pollution.

Natural Skincare Recommendations:

Cleanser: Use ultra-gentle, fragrance-free cleansers like calendula or oat-based formulas.

Moisturizer: Protect and soothe with products rich in chamomile or shea butter.

Sun Protection: Always apply natural, mineral-based sunscreen to avoid irritation.

5. Normal Skin

Characteristics:

Balanced oil and hydration levels

Few imperfections

Smooth, even texture

How to Identify:

If your skin rarely breaks out, feels comfortable throughout the day, and has a healthy glow, you likely have normal skin.

Natural Skincare Recommendations:

Cleanser: Maintain balance with a mild cleanser containing natural extracts like cucumber or lavender.

Moisturizer: Use a lightweight, nourishing cream to maintain hydration.

Serum: Add a vitamin C serum to boost radiance.
