Hi guys! I am just wondering how you know what type of skin you have? Like how do you know if its dry oily combination sensitive? I know it's a silly question and I apologise in advance for that! My skin seems dry and abit oily but I'm not certain? Does this mean I have combination skin!? Thanks guys 😊 xxx

There are some tests you can do. I reckon you must have combination skin then

I found out by liquid foundation that I have combination as it goes very patchy and dries in places :)

Oh my gosh that's what that means?! @heidi-Loren B... I have the patchiest skin after I apply foundation! What foundation do you like?

Hmmm I'm having a lot of trouble with foundation as I only really buy drugstore unless my mum buys me it :') I like liquid but makes sure it's thick so it's just a base and I also put lots of moisturiser before hand or even mix it in sometimes I hope I help :)

Thanks a lot! That does help.. I even posted a thing on here a few days ago asking what causes patchiness with foundation so even just knowing kinda what that means helps a lot. Thank you! :)

Call any spas and see if they do a free skin analysis. I offer that where I work!

You may be dehydrated & oily. But those are two different categories in skin typing. You should go see an esthetician. They can look at your skin & really tell you exactly what may be going on.
