Ever tried a skincare product everyone raved about, only to find it didn’t work for you? You’re not alone. Skincare is deeply personal, and choosing the right products starts with understanding your unique skin type. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, the key to glowing, healthy skin is finding products that cater specifically to your skin’s needs. Here’s how you can choose the right products based on your skin type.
1. Identifying Your Skin Type
Before you can find the perfect skincare routine, it’s important to identify your skin type. Different skin types require different approaches:
Oily Skin - If your skin often looks shiny, especially in the T-zone, you likely have oily skin. Oily skin is prone to breakouts and enlarged pores.
Dry Skin - If your skin feels tight or flaky, especially after cleansing, you have dry skin. This type craves moisture and can appear dull without it.
Combination Skin - Oily in the T-zone but dry on the cheeks? You’ve got combination skin, which needs a mix of oil control and hydration.
Sensitive Skin - If your skin is easily irritated, turns red, or reacts to new products, it’s sensitive. You’ll need gentle, soothing products to avoid flare-ups.
Real-life example - One of our customers with combination skin shared that using the COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule helped balance her oily T-zone while keeping her drier areas moisturized. It’s all about finding that balance!
3. Hydration for Every Skin Type
Hydration is key, no matter your skin type. The trick is choosing the right moisturizer for your specific needs:
Oily Skin - A lightweight, oil-free moisturizer like the COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion will hydrate without clogging your pores.
Dry Skin - Opt for a rich cream like the HARUHARU WONDER Black Rice Hyaluronic Cream. It locks in moisture, keeping your skin soft and nourished.
Sensitive Skin - The BENTON Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel is a great choice for hydrating and calming inflamed or irritated skin.
Real-life example- A customer with oily skin was hesitant to use moisturizers, thinking they’d make her break out. But after trying the Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream, she found her skin felt balanced and hydrated without extra shine
