How do I know what skin type my face is?

There are five basic skin types,they are as follows;

1. Oily skin
   • It is characterized by an abnormal production of sebum / your skin’s natural oil.
   • This increase in oil can make your skin appear greasy or shiny.
2. Dry skin
   • This is characterized by either dullness or tightness in your skin due to inadequate production of your skin’s natural oil.
   • As a result, your skin may crack, peel, or flake.
3. Combination skin
   • As the name suggests, this is a combination of both dryness and oiliness in different skin areas such as; the forehead, nose, cheeks, and skin.
4. Sensitive skin
   • It is characterized by increased sensitivity to stressors such as; skincare products, resulting in redness, itchiness, and other skin discomforts.
5. Normal skin
   • It is characterized by well-balanced skin (neither too oily nor too dry) with no persistent skin concerns.

Testing your skin type

There are two methods used to determine what your skin type is.

The first is the Bare-faced method

• Before doing this method, you need to wash your face with a mild foaming cleanser. Once done, gently pat your face dry with a clean towel and do not apply any skincare products.
• Wait for 25-30 minutes and then observe your skin.
• Carefully observe the appearance of your skin and how it feels.
  • If your skin feels either dry or tight, your skin falls into the dry skin category.
  • But, if there is increased oil, your skin is probably oily.
  • If your skin shows both oily and dry areas, you likely have combination skin.
  • If you experience redness or itchiness, you likely have sensitive skin.
  • And, if you did not experience any skin concerns, your skin is probably normal.

Blotting sheet method

• This simple method involves pressing a clean blotting paper against different facial areas.
• Once the paper is secured on your skin, hold it up to a light to see how much is absorbed.
  • If the paper absorbed more oil, your skin is likely oily.
  • Similarly, if there is little to no oil, you probably have dry skin.
  • If the paper shows a minimal amount of oil from your T-zone (consists of your forehead, nose, and chin) only, you likely have combination skin or normal skin type.
  • For best results, perform this method around midday or early evening.

How often do I need to have a Visia skin complexion analysis?

A copy of your Visia skin complexion analysis will be kept in your skincare chart. This will provide baseline information on your skin health. After the initial skin analysis, your provider may perform another procedure to evaluate the progress of the treatment. How often you undergo a skin analysis will greatly depend on your skin condition and treatment goals.
