Ever stood in the skincare aisle, baffled by labels like “for oily skin”, “formulated for dry skin”, or “great for combination skin”? Choosing the right product without knowing your skin type is like baking a cake without knowing the ingredients—you might get lucky, or you might end up with a total flop.

At Dermattract, we’re here to take the guesswork out of skincare. Let’s help you decode your skin’s personality in a fun (and super easy) way. Because great skin starts with knowing your skin.

Why Knowing Your Skin Type Matters

Think of your skin type as your skin’s love language. If you treat it the right way, it’ll love you back—glowing, balanced, and happy. Treat it wrong, and you might end up with breakouts, dryness, or oil slicks you didn’t sign up for.

The 5 Main Skin Types

Before we play detective, here’s a quick breakdown:

Normal – Balanced, not too oily or dry. Basically, the unicorn of skin types.
Oily – Your face shines brighter than your future? You might have oily skin.
Dry – Tight, flaky, or dull? Your skin might be thirsty for hydration.
Combination – Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) but dry cheeks? Welcome to the combo club.
Sensitive – Easily irritated, red, or reactive? Your skin likes a soft touch.

The Quick & Easy “Bare-Faced” Test

Ready to solve the mystery of your skin type at home? Try this simple test:

Step 1:

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry.

Step 2:

Leave your skin bare—no products, no serums, no filters (sorry!).

Step 3:

Wait for one hour. Then, check yourself out in a mirror and observe:

Shiny all over? Likely Oily.
Tight and flaky? Probably Dry.
Shiny in the T-zone but dry elsewhere? That’s Combination.
No extreme dryness or shine? Lucky you—Normal.
Red, itchy, or blotchy? Sounds like Sensitive.

Bonus round: Try blotting your face with tissue or blotting paper after the hour. Where you see oil tells you even more!

Still Not Sure? That’s What We’re Here For.

Let’s be real—skin is complicated. Weather, hormones, stress, diet, and even your pillowcase can affect it. And sometimes, you might be dealing with more than one issue at once (hello, adult acne + dryness!).

That’s where Dermattract comes in.

Our expert doctors don’t just guess—we assess. We analyze your skin in detail, help you understand what it truly needs, and create a customized skincare routine tailored just for you.
