At SKINEVER, we believe in scientific transparency. You don’t need a lab to understand your skin—you just need 60 minutes.
The 1-Hour "Wait and See" Method
This is the easiest way to identify your skin’s natural tendencies without the interference of makeup or heavy products.
-
Wash: Use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser to remove dirt and oil.
-
Wait: Pat your face dry and leave it "naked" (no toners, serums, or moisturizers) for exactly one hour.
-
Check: Look in the mirror and feel your skin. Where do you land?
Identify Your Results
1. Oily Skin
-
The Sign: Your face gets shiny all over.
-
The Feel: You might notice visible pores or a greasy residue when you touch your forehead or nose.
2. Dry Skin
-
The Sign: Your face feels tight or looks slightly flaky.
-
The Feel: There is a lack of elasticity, and your skin might feel "small" for your face.
3. Normal Skin
-
The Sign: Your skin feels balanced—neither too oily nor too dry.
-
The Feel: Smooth texture and consistent hydration. You’re the "Goldilocks" of skin types!
4. Combination-Oily
-
The Sign: The "T-Zone" (forehead and nose) gets oily, but your cheeks stay comfortable.
5. Combination-Dry
-
The Sign: Your cheeks feel dry or tight, while your forehead and nose feel fine.
6. Sensitive Skin
-
The Sign: Your skin stings or turns red, especially after applying skincare.
-
The Feel: It often reacts to environmental changes or new ingredients.
Next Steps: Build Your Routine
Once you know your type, you can stop guessing and start glowing. Whether you need the calming power of Centella Asiatica for sensitivity or the brightening boost of Niacinamide for oily skin, choosing targeted ingredients is the key to healthy skin.
