Oily vs. Dry vs. Combination Skin: Quick Test

Not sure what your skin type actually is? Your skin can feel dry one day and shiny the next, especially with changing weather, skincare products and hormones. Here's a quick way to understand the difference between oily, dry and combination skin before choosing your routine.

Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: Salicylic Acid Peel

Step 1: Start With a Clean Face

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and don't immediately apply skincare. Wait around 30–60 minutes and notice how your skin feels and looks on its own. No moisturiser. No serum. No filter. Your skin without the extras tells you more.

Dull or Uneven-Looking Skin: Glycolic Acid Peel

Mostly Shiny? You May Have Oily Skin

If your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin develop noticeable shine, and your skin tends to feel greasy a few hours after cleansing, you may have oily skin. Larger-looking pores and frequent breakouts can also occur. The goal isn't to remove every trace of oil. It's to keep things balanced.

Dry, Dull or Mildly Sensitive Skin: Lactic Acid Peel

Tight or Flaky? You May Have Dry Skin

If your skin feels tight after cleansing, looks dull or flaky, or tends to feel uncomfortable without moisturiser, it may be dry. Dry skin is about how much oil your skin produces, rather than simply how much water it contains. If your skin keeps asking for moisturiser, listen.

Selected Pigmentation or Fine Lines: TCA Peel

Shiny T-Zone, Drier Cheeks? Hello, Combination Skin

Combination skin is exactly what it sounds like: different areas of your face behave differently. Your forehead, nose and chin may become oily, while your cheeks feel normal or dry. Your skincare routine may need to do more than one job.

Dull or Uneven-Looking Skin: Glycolic Acid Peel

Still Not Sure? Don't Guess Your Skin Type

Skin can change with weather, hormones, age, skincare and other factors, so a quick test isn't a diagnosis. If you're dealing with persistent dryness, excess oil, acne, sensitivity or other concerns, a professional skin assessment can help you understand what's actually going on. At Bodycraft Clinic, start with your skin concern. We'll help you figure out what comes next.
