Our skin is unique to us, it changes with age, hormones, environment, seasons and stress. Looking after your skin can be tricky if you're not sure what it needs. Your skin type is one important indication of that and so we often use it as a way to determine how best to care for your skin.
So, in an attempt to make skin care less confusing and much simpler, below are our tips for looking after your skin's needs.
Feel free to try our simple Skin Quiz before reading below - it will also help give you a clearer idea of where you sit. And remember, just because you had oily skin at 25, doesn't mean your skin will necessarily still be considered oily at 40. It's so important to reevaluate as your body changes.
